Great opening day.
Got to love Hassan. Costs herself wins by being so pre-occupied by closers but the sport is better for having her prepared to race so much and with a lack of fear of what could go wrong.
100m looks so open. Have a few questions about the timing that World Athletics are showing on the screen post race though - not sure what the left hand side is supposed to be showing.
A shame that Brit old newcomer used up a near perfect race in the 1st round. Everything was so clean through every phase. Hope he makes the final somehow.
Hassan should try to outrun her competition, not literally fight them off. She lost a medal because of it. Runners trying to impede other runners look like 'bad sports'. But I guess if runners are prepared to dope they will do anything to win.
