I think these last 3 heats know the team qualifiers aren’t that fast right now.
Nakaayi takes out heat 5 in 58.
1:28.14 at 600 - lead pack of 5 includes Reekie.
1:57l.86 for Osiris of Kenya FTW.
Nakaayi 4th in 1:58.57 and Reekie 5th in 1:59.35 so that means Willis is not in the semis.
Uh Oh. That's it for our favorite Stevens Point / Stanford half-miler. Bad luck.
Jemma Reekie has run the exact same race for 10 years
Willis out
Odira 1:57, oh!
Top 5 safe for now. Reekie in the last fastest loser spot, she's faded in the final 100m all season.
Willis out.

Odira looked very very good.

Did she fly out to Japan? Not take a boat or some low carbon way?
Osiris?
Raining soon.
Aspiring athletes, coaches and parents. If you want to see a class act, watch this interview with Shafiqua Maloney. She was 4th in Olympics last year. She just ran a PB in the DL final and she bombed out of the first round tonight.
No WR for 400 due to rain but it still will be a battle!
I honestly think Georgia Hunter-Bell has made a mistake in hindsight. The 800m looks much more competitive than the 1500m. She had a much better chance of medalling in the 1500m.
Feel for that South African runner who just pulled up 50 meters into the 800 lol
Heat 6 has Hunter Bell. 27 first 200 for Hollingsworth of Australia with GHB on her outside . 57.60. 1:28.81 and GHB goes to the lead - looking up at the tv board. Totally in control. 1:58.82.
Impressive from Hunter-Bell.
Yulimar Goatjas on a wet takeoff board. 😬
Reekie out

Reekie should realize that she isn´t strong enough to run in the front (with no pacing). She should stay mid pack at the rail until 700m. Then she will have more in the tank for the last 100m.
Relies sucks
I don't know about that. She looked really good, jogging down the home stretch.
