Grant will be kicking himself for getting trapped a bit on the final backstretch, but that's still a wonderful result for him. Super smart race on his part.

Sucks he missed out on silver by a mere two-hundredths after more than 6.2 miles of running!

That men’s 10k was fire.  

What Sifan Hassan is doing is insane.

Really wish Mu was in it.

My most anticipated races:

1.  Jakob Ingebrigtsen v. Josh Kerr (1500M)

2.  Sha’Carri v. The Jamaicans (100M)

3.  Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone v. Femke Bol (400M hurdles)

4.  USA v. Netherlands (women’s 4 x 400M relay)

5.  Women’s 1500M (Kipyegon v. Hassan v. Muir)

Did the math, approximately 4:18 miles for the winner.

That's fucking absurd. 

I ran a 10k when I was 17 and in pretty good shape and felt good to get in under an hour.

You must love Noah Lyles

Noah's a polarizing figure. He's brash, obnoxious and--when he takes attention from his teammates during interviews--occasionally rude. He's also fast as fuck and generally backs up his talk with spectacular performances.

Dunno if he's got the start/turnover to get below 9.7 in the 100m, but I wouldn't be shocked for him to finally break 19.3 in the 200m and supplant Yohan as the all-time second-fastest in the event.

Don't sleep on Bednarek, either. Kung-Fu Kenny is laser focused and, quite likely, tired of Noah's shit. LoL

Kenny has a great story, btw.

I watched the replay of the mixed 4 x 400 heat and saw how close the US was to getting a DQ because one of the women initially lined up incorrectly, but got back onside at the last second thanks to an official helping her out. In the end, they turned in a world record. Team USA track relays and disqualifications name a more iconic duo

saw that. Interesting that the official pointed it out. How in the world did she not know where to line up? One job there. Not her first relay. She was wandering all over the place

Neugebauer two events away from gold in decathlon 

some of his stiffest competition keep falling away/ dropping out.

Warner-Canada (defending Olympic gold), who had been in 2nd, no marks in the pole vault (3rd to last event) after passing on four previous heights (oopsies). 

Skotheim-Norway who had been in 3rd withdrew with a hamstring before the pole vault.

Mayer-France, silvers in the last two Olympics and world record holder in decathlon, withdrew Thursday before things got underway with a hamstring.

Super stacked 100m women's semifinal coming up. Texas-Ex Julien Alfred from St. Lucia, Sha'Carri Richardson from the Dallas area by way of LSU (and current reigning World Champ), and reigning Olympic champ Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.

Other semi (Asher-Smith, Swoboda, Jefferson, Kambundji, Ta Lou-Smith) are also top-notch pros.

EDIT: wrong semi! USA's Jefferson wins the first semi.

Oh, damn. Jamaica's "Mommy Rocket," Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, has withdrawn and won't compete in Richardson's semi. With Shericka Jackson also out, that means this is Sha'Carri's gold to lose. I think the only one who can challenge her is Alfred.

I mean, if we're just talking backside, Poland's Ewa Swoboda would like a word with you.

I've seen her go from no ink to completely tatted up over the years ... but dat azz has remained the same.

Richardson got off bad and Alfred a better race to get into final. I love NBC talking about how in that short of time Richardson changed her strategy. Would have loved to see mommy Rocket in there.
