Hasay either bonked or gave up. Likely both. Neither is admirable or anything to be proud of. She is basically a (good) hobbyjogger.

I understand that. But what I meant is that Taiwo and Ziemek are in form right now (when compared with their own PB), whereas Eaton is not.
Yes, Eaton grabbed back the lead after 5 events.
However, Eaton was 1.30 away from his PB at 400m, as compared to 0.93 for Taiwo (who basically blew his chance for a the decathlon victory as a result of his performance at 400m. He needed to PB) and 0.26 for Ziemek.
Since Eaton is off form. You can expect him to be far away from his PB in day 2 also. Obviously, unlike Ziemek and Taiwo, Eaton did not have to peak for this meet.
Eaton set an OT decathlon 400m best. I don't know where your fantasy is coming from that this is remotely a competition.

Scantling, presently in 4th, seriously hurt his chances of earning an Olympic qualifying spot during the 400m. He ran 51.04, which is 2.00 away from his PB.
He will have a rough night.
The other guy who is doing well (like Ziemek), is Harrison Williams, who is currently in 8th. Expect him to move up to 4th after the 110H tomorrow AM.

Eaton will win for sure. But certainly not by 450 points (or 700+ points)...

For what it's worth, I just walked from Hayward Field back to the parking at Autzen Stadium and met his dad along the way, who said he got a cramp.

Engels officially in the 800 final. Justice is done. He had to break stride when dude cut him off and immediately slowed down.
Complete BS. Just saw 3 slow motion replays and Engels was solely at fault. Ridiculous decision. The guy whose foot he clipped (Harris I think) had an argument to get into the finals; he ran a straight line and Engels caused him to stumble. Engels tries to pass on the inside, then cuts out and trips over Harris' foot and goes down. He received the gift of the weekend.

She's talking about the marathon now. Still optimistic I guess.

8850 to 8400 is around where it will be.
How did Jill Greathouse do? I missed the 10,000.

Dang straight. Engels let the guy get past him, he found himself boxed in, he stepped back and tried to get out, he clipped the heels of the runner in front of him and thereby tripped himself. It was his own fault. And LETS NOT FORGET, The head women's Olympic coach is Connie Price Smith who happens to be the head coach at OIe Miss. The school Craig Engels runs for. The first conspiracy of these games, anyone?

We shall see... We shall see....
My guess is that Eaton will be sub 8,800 and that second place will be > than 8,400...
She already did in the first round.

Maybe sub-48 in the final?

No, not even close.
But, surprising that a clown would not be a reliable source of info.

Eaton only 149 points ahead of Taiwo and 180 points ahead of Ziemek after 7 events.
Ziemek and Eaton have equal PB in the PV. However, Eaton has been subpar in every event this weekend. With a good PV by Ziemek, it is conceivable that he will take the lead after 8 events.
So much for Ziemek taking the lead after 8 events. Eaton cleared 5.25 on his 3rd try to stay alive. Nothing Ziemek can do anymore to take the lead.

Eaton is right on the button to get to 8800 while ZZ is still around 8400.

The 10K jogfest is so interesting that I'm installing Adobe Creative Cloud updates for excitement. When we get past the jogging crap after noon. Can't believe NBC is actually going to have any kind of audience with what they have to show, and I can't believe anybody actually believes any of this crap this morning (Eaton excepted) is actually interesting.
Adobe Creative Cloud. You're really doing cutting edge internet stuff. That MIT degree is paying off for you.
