World Champs Day 7, Official Discussion Thread

you expected him to pb by .4 seconds? u don't know ball kid.

that was tight and tremendous composure from Lyles to pull away from that much competition

Dallavalle with a huge PB in the last round of triple jump.

fr. he had to work for that. if he had the start he had in the semi's that's a 19.42

Not really. Crazier odds were Kenny at +1500 before the final.

Would be too much trouble sorting it out if you gave athletes choice

Pichardo said NOPE!

Thiam had problems with the Belgian federation not arranging her accommodations or giving per physical therapist clearance after they flew all the way from South Africa to do her treatment. Rough championship for her

Finally decent jumping in the final round. Pichardo takes it with 17.91.

What a race. Lyles was awesome but his win was not sure until the final ten meters

That triple jump was actually goated

Wow clutch jump from the Cuban!

What a war in the triple jump!

The field events really are so fun to watch when you get to follow the whole final at worlds rather than just seeing a few jumps on the dl circuit.

What a finish to the triple jump !

"WHO IS THE BEST??"

I wonder "who is the best" a the triple jump

Belgian federation is denying that though and say they have written proof they're willing to show. Either way it's a mess.

Italian triple-jumper left looking a little foolish...
