Hassan 29th out of 29 women from the start.
73.5 for 1st lap. Japan leading.
....and Japanese straight to the front.
74s first 400
Genuinely think Sisson has a shot here if she can channel the same resilience in the heat that she did at the trials

Lap 3 - 72.8
Lap 4 - 72.3 (4:51.2) 448 is 30 flat pace so this is like 30:20 pace.
3:02 first K, honest for sure esp. considering the heat.
Hironaka is setting a suffocating pace. That will go fast!
