Jess still leading after 3 events!

Mo Farah on soon

Mo :worship:

eek @ KJT fouling all her long jumps. Theisen's about 100 points behind Ennis so it should be interesting. We'll see how much Theisen's high jump performance costs her.

It's definitely Jess's to lose now.

Hopefully KJT can come away with a medal in the individual long jump later in the week.

Also praying Bolt beats Gatlin tonight :fc:

Can't wait for Gaitlin to go in dry on Bolt. He refused to race Gay when he was injury free and has done the same with Gaitlin this year aswell.

You can only run for so long Bolt

Usain Bolt, 2015 World Champion :worship:

Where is Twatlin? Crying in a corner? :pat:

Steve Cram got pretty excited.

He always shouts during every 100m final commentary he does :laugh:

So pleased for Jess ^_^ and so glad that Bolt won 100m too I wasn't sure if he would but glad he did. Hopefully Jess and Mos medals will spur others on.

I mean, I think Bolt and Gatlin are both huge assholes so who cares

Bolt >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Marq O'Neil >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Twatlin

In other news Christine starts her bid tomorrow of defending her title... she's nowhere near the level needed for Gold but neither was she in London or Moscow based off preparations so I'm excited to see what she can pull off again :cheer2:

Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce's weave :worship:

jesus @ Schippers and Bowie's closing that gap for second and third. Wow.

Also eek @ Molly Huddle celebrating at the line and getting caught by Emily Infeld and losing out on her medal. Good showing by the Americans in the distances though, getting all 3 men and 3 women to the steeple final and having the women go 3-4-6 in the 10K

Greg Rutherford :worship:

Not been a good day for Americans today apart from Felix/Francis

Pretty cool for Kenya to have the world champ in 400H, not something you would ~expect~

Also, jesus @ Dibaba's last 800 being a 1:57 that is beyond absurd

Alysia Montano fell in the 800 prelims :( quite a shame since she and Wilson (injured) were obviously very capable of making the finals and medaling. Looks like Martinez is the only American in. Ludlow's still eligible to qualify on time but I'm not counting on it, she's 5th out of 6th rn.

Not surprised about Goule fading badly though. She went out in 57.96 and died hard. That hasn't been working for her lately on the NCAA level so why did she think it'd work at worlds?

Good to see Taylor and Craddock make the TJ final. Dendy just missed out on finals on second best mark.

Good stuff to see the American girls go 2-3 in 400H

Congrats to Shauna Proctor getting a silver in womens long jump

Definitely still a lot of stuff going wrong for USA (Brenda Martinez not qualifying for the 800 final, Trey Hardee pulling out of the decathlon, pretty much everything hurdle related for both genders) but Allyson Felix had an awesome win the 400, Christian Taylor had an AMAZING triple jump and is now only 8 cm from the world record (and he gave up 11+ cm on the board), Ashton Eaton running a 10.23 and 45.00 (all-time best in a decathlon) and being only 20 or so points off of his WR from 2012, Tianna Bartoletta going from barely having the bronze medal to securing the gold on her last jump, and Aries Merritt getting a bronze medal despite being in desperate need of a kidney transplant.

Also, Dafne Schippers is the real deal. Damn.

Ashton Eaton breaking his world record <3

Mo :bow: ^_^

This has been a good champs, sad it's over tomorrow.

Looking forward to Rio next year and London 2017

Oh and Richard Kilty is a dick.

I'll edit in high school stuff soon bc the meet is just finishing up and SO MANY records got broken :o

Watched a bit of the US trials last night, Vasthi Cunningham looks like a real promising talent!

In other news, Team GB have arrived in Portland! But our governing body is being tight bastards right now and rejecting loads of invites for athletes who get invited by the IAAF. They just want medals and aren't sending IAAF invite athletes for "financial reasons"

Why have I only just discovered this interview:



The bitterness in that clip @ the other countries having reserves :joker: This might be tied with my favourite post-race interview ever along with Tiffany and Cindy's bitchy eye rolling interview <333

Coverage starting on the red button at about 6.15!

Diamond League kicks off in Doha this Friday!

Looking forward to Gotzis this weekend, hopefully KJT and Morgan Lake can get the qualifying marks for Rio :fc:

Kat is currently leading the Heptathlon.

Also Sound of Silence by Dami Im keeps playing in the stadium like every 10 minutes, I love it <333

They're playing Euphoria now :laugh:

Olympic Trials start this time in 2 weeks :clap1:

Also, it's scary how much Lynsey Sharp (GB) and Susan Kuijken (NED) lookalike!

Forgot to mention that a few weeks ago I was watching some random low-key meet on TV (American Track League in Atlanta) and oh my god what a disaster it was...

-Angelo Taylor runs 54.xx in the intermediates
-Sanya Richards-Ross does not finish the 100 bc of a hamstring issue
-DeeDee Trotter runs 51 high in the 400 and then collapses with an asthma attack all while the commentator notes "if there's one thing that's for certain, you can never count out DeeDee Trotter" :joker:
-and then idk, more Lolo Jones theatrics since she doesn't start her race

yeah, this is definitely It for a lot of the big-name Americans. A lot of them aren't gonna make the team and it's gonna be a big changing of the guard across the board in almost all events.

holy **** Sydney McLaughlin just obliterated the high school record in the intermediates with a 54.46 :o she's only 16. I'm excited to see her in Olympic Trials. Gonna be tough as hell for her to make the team but it'd be great if she made the finals and got like top 5.

She also split 50.93 FAT on a relay two days ago fwiw
