I hear ATC's All Around the World playing in the stands. We love a bop!

50.11 for Alastair Chalmers in the 400m Hurdles semis to set a new British Junior Record and secure a place in the final :love:

I think Alex Knibbs has made the final too as a fastest loser

EDIT: Nope, Knibbs just misses out along with Quivell Jordan as well

Another national record for GB! He dropped his best from 50.52 I think they said to 50.11? :o

Lauren Rain Williams looking insanely good in the 200m

The Japanese girl in LJ is so cute bowing to the officials after each jump :love:

Tara needs to put in some damn WORK though omg

Watching Survivor SA makes me want Zeney to pull though and win now alol

Shock win in the Mens 400 :o

WOW Sacoor ****ing ran down Taylor like it was nobody's business

The two Jamaicans are just crouched down on the track trying to comprehend it at all :joker: They look so dismayed

Why is Chespol playing games with these people??? Like a third of this field can't even break 10:00 and her PR is 8:58 :joker:

ffs Tara Davis is only in the bronze medal spot and she has to improve by nearly a foot if she wants the gold

asdfjkl; one centimeter short of silver ARE YOU KIDDING ME

We're really gonna finish Day 4 without having a damn gold medal.

I thought she'd easily get Gold :skull:

It's a mess how USA haven't had one Gold so far (not to jinx it but I'm 99% sure Lauren Rain Williams will change that in the 200)

I'm half expecting Briana Williams to take it at this point, this is disastrous.

Dobson's got this

omg the other one did just kidding

Jon’s Efoloko <333

Fantastic day for GB, 3 Gold medals in one night! :clap1: Probably the only Golds we’ll get tbh but I’m not complaining!

Welp I jinxed it :skull:

Briana Williams doing the 100/200 double though, pretty impressive :worship:

Called that ****.

Tia Jones is our last hope for an individual gold, if she doesn't get it I will RIOT

She did it :clap1: Mess @ only 1 individual US Gold tho (and only 2 other relay Golds). I'm sure it was just a bizarre fluke tho

I'm catching up on this Athletics World Cup thing now and dear god, Sky Sports coverage has to be THE worst coverage of an athletics event I have EVER seen. An hour of talking, hosts spoiling results before they're shown, only seeing 3 or 4 jumps/throws from British athletes ONLY etc.

The crowd is decent enough for a crappy event tho, shame they were probably duped into buying tickets thinking they'd see world class athletes.

Holly Bradshaw jumping a 4.75 SB tho bodes well for the Europeans :clap2:

BARELY, they tied even to the thousandth :skull: and then we ended with a dropped baton in the men's 4x400 (:joker:) and losing to ITALY. Really just puts the cherry on top of a disastrous meet for us :love:

I really don't know what it was this year. It's not uncommon for us to not send all of our best athletes since there's usually a stronger emphasis on NCAA championships and high school nationals, but we had so many people just falter and miss out on gold or be way out of contention.

Anyway, I'm trying to enjoy the World Cup for what is because I do like the idea behind it but there's just so many nobodies who I'm not invested in at all. Not to mention that half of the fields are even smaller because China apparently didn't enter 14 of the events or something :conf:

Apparently there's controversy over her win or something because it was a dead heat and the rules state that lots should be drawn when ties like that happen :joker:

And yeah the World Cup is a cute idea I guess, I've always liked the European Team Championships for doing point-based tournaments and stuff, I'm just not keen on the coverage provided over here :laugh: China are a mess only entering the field and sprint events tho :skull: They should be replaced with Japan or Australia or something if they can't/won't fill slots.

Anyway USATF are up to their old tricks again

:joker:
