It's even funnier in slow motion

That one guy just running inside the track to get around the barrier

And the Turkish guy still qualified

In other news, I've officially decided that Alicia Barrett is my favourite GB athlete to listen to being interviewed <333 This is how I imagine Bonneh to be if she was an elite GB athlete

Our 200m boys are doing good

[Macie Lightfoot]

ughhh Rachel Baxter bailed out of her first two attempts at 4.10 and ran through her third attempt

[Macie Lightfoot]

Good race for Brooke Jaworski, really put the pressure on Xahria Santiago of Canada. I think this is her first year hurdling too and she has two more years as a U20

[Macie Lightfoot]

oh no Molly Caudery misses at 4.20

Smh I doubt she'll even be selected for the Europeans now

[Headie]

Watching these 400m Hurdles semis... any idea why Sydney McLaughlin decided to go pro mid-season as opposed to after the season was over?

She would've won Gold with ease at these champs and now it looks like the US might not even medal in the event.

[Macie Lightfoot]

I think just because she'd have to extend her season by another month and it probably felt like a very long year already with her first year in college and moving across the country and running lots of races at higher intensities? And like... we know she's good, she knows she's good, I guess she doesn't need the validation of winning U20.

And her figures haven't been disclosed yet but ever since she made the Rio team she's reportedly had insane professional offers of six or even seven figures so good for her for finally cashing in on that.

LOOOOL these final intros are unintentionally hilarious

[Macie Lightfoot]

Hima Das has been very impressive but I'm ready for people to compare her to Semenya

[Macie Lightfoot]

Did Romania not bring a flag for Miklos?

Mess I was thinking this but didn't want to say it

I guess we'll know in a years time once the testosterone rules come into place (IF they aren't overruled by CAS)

[Headie]

Jake Heyward finished 4th in the Men's 1500m final </3

[Macie Lightfoot]

The Czech pole vaulter did great!!

And Ingebrigtsen was veeeeeery impressive in the 1500

[Macie Lightfoot]

Australia and Switzerland looked very good but they sat too far back on the first lap.

Mess and now they've given up trying to touch the athletes hands and are just awkwardly/annoyingly flossing as they walk past
