Lachie Kennedy just dropped a 9.96 in a +0.2 wind!!!

Rohan won his heat too and had a big moan in his interview about not being able to wear tracksuit pants while waiting to run. I get it but very random time to go off

Claudia Hollingsworth takes the 1500 over Jess Hull but there was a bit of jostling between Hollingsworth and Hull in the home straight which led to Hull's fall. No disqualification as of now

crikey

That was just a bad way for it to all happen. Claudia barely looked happy. Not sure if Claudia will get DQED. I think Jess had it without the clip by Claudia but the girls are getting closer. So many guns now with Georgia, Sarah, Abby and more. Plus Linden. Where was Linden btw?

Hollingsworth caused Hull to fall. An accident though.

If the lads were watching this I’m guessing they won’t trot around for 3 laps and leave it up to the gods

I’m more surprised Lauren Ryan was completely out of the picture, just shows you the levels of kick the 800/1500s have compared to the 5/10k runners

I don't have a track background so don't know the rules in this circumstance, but it feels like an obvious DQ. Accident sure, but a clear move (cutting across to try and get out) from Hollingsworth was the reason for the coming together. Hull seems to have taken it very well, although I guess you sort of have to.

Claudia should have never tried to pass on the inside. Lack of big race tactics played apart. Claudia should be DQ'd

+1

Caldwell also looked to be impeded by Hollingsworth. DQ but that doesn't help Hull.

Shout out to Kennedy for finally breaking 10 earlier.

I get why Jess appealed as she was tripped when in the front position. But if it were successful what does that mean for Jess? She's still last but Claudia is DQd?

Watching live it felt like a claudia DQ. But not so clear on replay. Such a crappy outcome, either way. Was hoping for an epic last 100 battle - we got half that. Sport always does this weird sh1t on us haha

Cam Myers 3:29.8 leading from gun to tape. He's so good man. Dropped Ollie Hoare on the bell lap like he was standing still

Cam looking so good running 3:29 front running, get this man at Monaco ASAP.

Strong run by Ollie also

eep

So Myers runs gun to tape 3.29 and the blokes pissed of he didnt run SUB 3.29!!! The absolutely BRUTALLY high standards this 19 year old holds himself to is something to behold. F**king BOSS
