Top 5 & next 2 for M 1500. 13 in each heat. Hopefully no one goes down. Does the IOC make some changes to the games before 2024and thin these fields out a bit?
Women's vault is being devastated. Everyone struggling except Sidorova. Morgan is out already.
Willis has been sure to say hi to his grandkids when on camera both before the first round & here in the semis.

Not so fast. He needs to pass drug test!
Hocker is a boss. Jogged 3:33/3:34
Side note: The NBC/Peacock coverage is like watching amateur hour. Its like watching a student presentation. At least they're trying hard!
That was a masterful run by Hocker.
Where are the Hocker doubters now?
"He CaN't RuN FaStER"
"He'S oNlY a 3:35 ScRuB"
Hocker makes the final where he will be incredibly dangerous!
He did ok for a 3:35 guy
Well done Hocker.
3:33 would medal some years... might have to go faster again though I suspect, with Tim / Jake and co being pushed in the final
That 3:33 guy has more of a chance now, no?
Hocker did well
He's not winning gold
Where is Michelle Carter? I need her help explaining pole vault to me
Hocker 3:33 PB! Knew it was possible since his indoor mile but nice to see he can stick it in a faster race. Feeling better about him for the final. Split times via NHK:
Finish 2070 Great Britain WIGHTMAN J 3:33.48
1200 2770 Kenya CHERUIYOT T 2:54.02
800 2770 Kenya CHERUIYOT T 1:56.39

RENATO can you talk about the preparation of Emile Cairess 2:06
Running for Bowerman Track Club used to be cool now its embarrassing
Hats off to my dad. He just ran a 1:42 Half Marathon and turns 75 in 2 months!
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
Rest in Peace Adrian Lehmann - 2:11 Swiss marathoner. Dies of heart attack.
