Good for Japan winning their first ever women’s javelin gold medal.

Wait, what's happening now in HJ?  I thought they counted backward to first miss for the tie breaker?  McEwen missed at 2.34 and Kerr didn't.

Tie breaking

[edit]

If two or more jumpers tie for any place, the tie-breakers are: 1) the fewest misses at the height at which the tie occurred; and 2) the fewest misses throughout the competition. If the event remains tied for first place (or a limited-advancement position to a subsequent meet), the jumpers have a jump-off, beginning at the next height above their highest success. Jumpers have one attempt at each height. If only one succeeds, he or she wins; if more than one does, these try with the bar raised; if none does, all try with the bar lowered. This process was followed at the 2015 World Championship men's event.

Both made 2.36 on the first try and both had two previous misses so they're in a jump off.

I am tired watching them

[WBT 20561]

I've never seen this before.  If both miss they keep going down.  If both make they go back up.  One jump each per round.

We’re going to be here all day.

[Ichabod 184]

Looking like Charles Austin’s OR will still stand in high jump. He’s from my hometown of Bay City.

[Fudge Nuggets 19187]

His last 100m is shit.

[WBT 20561]

That was a hell of a race in the 4x400.  US and Botswana were both not far off the WR.

[Fudge Nuggets 19187]

I swear I didn’t breathe for the final 100m of that relay race.  Womens should be a little easier. Hopefully. 

[Sgt Hulk 13713]

That was close

[kingkoopa6 8344]

Sydney is flying

[Sgt Hulk 13713]

Hot damn she’s fast 

[Underdog 28545]

“Like a tremendous machine…”

[Sgt Hulk 13713]

Sydney 🤤🤤

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Sydney smoked that lap

[WBT 20561]

I would have put Sydney at anchor.  But she might be putting it away from 2nd leg anyway, lulz.

[Sgt Hulk 13713]

All had no brakes.   Fuck them brakes 

[WBT 20561]

Jamaica dropped the baton out of nowhere

[UTexasFight 9428]
