So disappointing. He looked fantastic on the warming up yesterday.

I've made this the official thread for the race.

"Marcell will not report to the starting-blocks today because he remains under observation in the emergency room of Uhai Neema Hospital, under the control of the Italian NGO World Friends," said his coach Paolo Camossi, quoted by the federation.

If you are looking to watch it, those of you with French IPs (and many other countries) can watch it on the WA youtube page for free.

The free local broadcast has already begun.

Anyone got a link to the results?

SAFP 10.67

Kenya a sprint power now? Yikes!

9.87 for Ferdinand Omanyala over Fred Kerley

Mid 9.8’s in a +2.0 for Ferdinand

YES! We're coming for you. 😂 Ferdy is winning gold in Eugene.

Rounded to 9.85 I think. Great scene in Kenya with the fans dancing in the stands, and the President celebrating excitedly as well.

9.85 for Omanyala over Kerley 9.92. Add Ferdy to that Pre start list.

Indeed. And no talk of the track being short or any of that kind of nonsense. FO & FK were the class of the field which included Isaiah Young, Kenny Bednarek and Filippo Tortu.

very good run, but FO false started first start and borderline at 2nd.. like see reactions times...

W100m -best race ever!!! Yeah!!!

All that was missing was a complete embarrassment of SCR.

The Pocket Rocket! 🇯🇲

Pretty sure that Omanyala’s time was rounded down to keep me from winning the prediction contest, darned LRC mafia😁
