Unofficial Day 8 Eugene World Championships Thread

Otto, good one.

Wasn't a brief lane infringement either. Multiple steps outside the lane.

Big BBC Keely coverage before the semis.

Well, they'd already passed team in lane 8, so it's all in the eyes of Ghana then, isn't it?

Women’s disc weighs 1/2 of what the men’s does but the jav weighs 3/4ths of what the men’s does

big question mark for Bisset in these semis. Pretty grazed and needed stitches so curious to see if shes firing on all cylinders

Could have something to do with the actual weight of the javelin/disc. Javelin for men at least 800g, for women at least 600g, disc 2kg vs 1kg. At least that what I found by Googling.

Let’s Go Ajee!!!

Ajee just taking caring of business.

Great run. Made that look easy.

That's some serious Yobes Ondieki (sp) leaning back there for Mira's.

Fun race!

Did you see Tracey from Jamaica close? Dang!

Surprised Reekie is gone, but the 800 semis are brutal.

Moraa

If you tune in the World Feed on the CBC website, you can hear a second audio track of what sounds like the Technical Director having sex with his intern.

Or something.

She is the most experienced 800m runner in these championships and it showed.

It is so weird and annoying! Sounds like it is the background staff trying to coordinate what to show

Glad we moved away from all athletes wearing knee high compression socks to compete. Total cringe.

Stacked semi.
