this makes Lamont Marcell Jacobs the surprising successor to legend Usain Bolt

[Nicky91]

something remarkable within TeamNL now

Sifan Hassan aims for 3 gold medals in 1.500, 5.000 and 10.000 metre events


apparently she also has been preparing for this last year with the extra time after she found out the olympics were postponed for one year

[James]

Big world record for Warholm in 400m hurdles.

and for Germany, women's long jump gold medalist Malaika Mihambo

[James]

That was pretty bad from USA in 4x100m relay.

[Denver]

That was pretty bad from USA in 4x100m relay.

They won that event every year since 1960 apart from when they boycotted

[Nicky91]

with Portugal's 4th medal in the Triple Jump, tokyo2020 have been their best medal event to date
