Mo (CHN) went out like a train in the 400m h, did a PB from an outside lane and qualified, thus eliminating Savannah Sutherland: I love that sort of equipment.
Also, the Japanese steeplechaser who didn't qualify (6th) but did a PB/NR by about 12 seconds.
Evening session - watching on Peacock, British commentators are knowledgeable but make a lot of assumptions and personal remarks about competitors.
Warholm very unimpressive in his heat.
Clarke with the classic mistake of thinking he's safe because he looked the wrong way, might get punished

Can't read much into that at all. Both he and his coach were clear that he wanted to just do the bare minimum. Maybe it would look cooler if he sped up midway and jogged through the finish, but not much point to that.
What the heck was that from Tinch?
Injured?
HOlloway done, or just a bad year?
Wow, Holloway might not even make it out of the semis.

Both Holloway and Tinch looked mediocre.
Is there no post for tonight's session? Holloway looks like he has a mental block tbh

He was cruising but perhaps a little too much.
the funny thing is by time, Holloway ran the fastest amongst all the Americans

I guess there's only supposed to be one post per day. Yesterday, a new post was made for the day 2 evening session, and they ended up merging it with the morning session thread.
Mr Vloon is a fine specimen.
12.63 from Nugent for 3rd. That may not survive the night
That Polish 100 hurdler woman is built for power
If you missed Vloom's last vault, you have to check it out. I have never seen someone clear the bar like that before.
Nugent out.
Which semi is Jakob running in? 🤭
