Friday August 9th Track and Field Evening Session Thread ?!!!+ Live Reaction Show at 5:30 pm ET

Isn't the men's 400 hurdles supposed to start before the 10k?

I didn’t catch the qualifying round, but here is a summary from Reuters:

Jackson had two fouls and then managed only 17.60 metres with her third throw, almost two metres short of the automatic qualifying mark of 19.15, to finish 17th, with 12 advancing to Friday's final.

It was a rotten end to an Olympics that also started badly for the 2022 and 2023 world champion after the 30-year-old posted a social media video of herself crying because her team kit did not fit.

"I do not really know what happened," she said. "I guess the pressure got to me. I don't really have a lot to say about it. I just want to get to my family."

She fouled the first two attempts and then had to throw the third super-conservatively

Why do the British absolutely butcher everyone's names? Their accents are horrible

If you watch the main feed with John Anderson then yes.

Diane Van Es forgive me I was not familiar with your game

Hall underperformed in most of her events.

Parker looking hoooooot wow

Expecting great things from Valby here.

no idea what they are talking about on the broadcast - 400mh was always scheduled for 3:45

Only LRC cares about these boring 10k races. 90% of the race is filler and all the meaningful moves happen at the end.

What's worse is the camera didn't pick up where it landed. And watch the umpire, he looks around a a few times like he's not sure which one it was!

Wait, did Valby cut in too early? what happened there?

Valby just cut in between the cones DQ

Goucher said Valby immediately disqualified herself lol

DQ incoming.

they didnt intro Valby on peacock

VALBY DQ

A big field but you can't miss Battocletti - she's glowing.
