This will be CL biggest test of the year (unless he decides to run Ultimate WC in September). Mt gut feeling is someone is going to take it out fast so he should actually replicate what he did in the semi but lead much earlier with 300 to go and send it

Who do you think takes it out though? Possibly Crestan as I don't think he's known for his kicking ability and is probably Cooper's biggest competition today. I think Cooper needs to be take the lead no later than 500-600m with the level of kickers in this final.

US gets silver/bronze in the shot with Geist and Steen

Big-time value on Bol there

Not the greatest start for Hall in pentathlon.

1/14 on Hodgkinson? I mean, she's got to be the overwhelming favorite, but that seems like it should be close to a record for a world championship. I wonder what the odds were for Ryan Crouser in recent years, or Moses or Bubka in the 1970s/80s.

Morning summary for US:

Men's Shot - Geist silver, Steen bronze, Awotunde - 5th

Women's Long Jump - Moore 7th, Nichols 8th

Women's Pentathlon (after 3 events) - Hall in 2nd, Jones in 13th

Women's 60m Hurdles - Dyer and Armstrong advanced to semi-finals

Both 4x400 teams qualified for finals

He does his homework. He is thinking Crestan will lead and he’ll be prepared to take the lead if the pace slows in laps 2-3. My concern is more if Bol complicates things for him, and Crestan fights off a pass. Bloudek, Clay and Attaoui might be all content to cede 1st-2nd place until the last 250.

How did Jones get an entry in the heptathlon? Out of three events done, she has two last places and one second to last and in points she's almost 200 behind the second to last.

I mean pentathlon.

Timara Chapman pulled out late. However, it is strange that Jones did not even compete at USA Combined Indoors this year but was given the spot. This is her first competition since the USA Outdoor Champs last summer. She placed third there, though, so she has talent. My guess is nobody else wanted to do a Pentathlon on such short notice.

I think mondo was -2500…

I love Keely and agree she is the heavy favorite for good reason, but after Addy Wiley’s semifinal and hearing her interview after I am excited to see what she does in the final. It would be pretty exciting if Addy gave Keely a run for her money. I know it is a long shot after Addy running a PB yesterday, but I hope she is in the mix.

Taliyah Brooks, wasn't it?
