48.40 by Clement. 400m Hurdles are very disappointing now. It seems like in these recent years nobody runs the race right and runs it fast. Long jump lead by Katrina Johnson-Thompson 6.84. Discus is lead by Sandra Perkovic at 64.80. Pole Vault rematch between Silva and Stefandi is still at low hits with them skipping most of the earlier hights
Women 100M heat 1 up, Highlighted by Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. Perkovic has increased her leading mark in the Discus to 69.94.
Fracer-Pryce wins here heat in 11.03. She didn't look that good to be honest, not that explosive out of the blocks and she didn't look like had any other gear. Heat 2 up now.
Johnson Thompson wins the long jump in 6.84
Kerron Clement is just faster than these guys. Culson led after the final hurdle but Clement had much better speed to the finish. He's run 44.4 but that was 9 years ago as he's 30.
And Johnny Dutch didn't retire. Running in the Puma singlet the world leader who went from 1st to 5th after the last hurdle at the Trials never challenged.
How fast do you all think Lagat can run at 41?
We know he's super fit but can he really hang if a race is 13:00?
Marie-Josse Ta Lou 10.96 PR into a headwind in heat 2. That is pretty impressive and she was surprised. 11.02 previous legal best.
Now they'll come back for the final later.
Marie-Josee Ta Lou 10.96 into a -1.3mps head wind to win heat 2. Corrects to a 10.86 with zero wind according to http://myweb.lmu.edu/jmureika/track/wind/.
10.96 PB for Marie-José Talou of the Ivory Coast. Another good sprinter following Muriel Ahoure.
I turned on the PC late but rewound on the BBC and went back and watched the 400 and 400h.
400h:
Javier Culson had the lead heading into the last hurdle but Kerron Clement, who at the Olympic Trials won his first US title in 10 years, came on strong to get the win in a seasonal best 48.40 to Culson’s 48.63 (also a seasonal best). It was a real high quality affair as the top 5 all broke 49.00.
World leader Johnny Dutch, who threatened to retired after a disappointing 5th place showing at the US Trials, certainly didn’t rebound like Keni Harrison as he was next to last in 50.72.
400:
In this non-DL race, Trinidad’s Deon Leondore had the lead hitting the homestretch but British champion Matthew Hudson-Smith was the best man over the final 100 and got the win in 45.03 to Lendore’s 45.34. 2014 and 2016 European champ Martyn Rooney was tossed before this one even began thanks to a false start.
Kind of ironic the BBC announcers are talking about what a shame it is that Ghiribi didn't get to receive her gold medal in 2012 at the Olympics when Ghiirbi herslef has a profile of a doper - hardly ever races. etc
Stefanidi and Silva both have cleared 4.62. Stefanidi started her competition at that height
Innocent until proven guilty. Plus she is hot!
Garcia just went out in 3:01 in the steeple unless they measured the km wrong.
Womens steeple. 1st 1k is 3:01 and Garcia is right there with Hills and Ghiribi.
It's 82 degrees and they are on AR pace.
Is it possible they messed up the split? I doubt it but they said the rabbit was only supposed to go 3:05.
BBC has reported that Kipp has gone donw in a fall.
2k is 6:11 (not sure if that confirms 1st 1k was off) but Garcia is about 6:13.
Anyone else think the first km split was off?
They're saying 6:11 at 2km
Aisha Praught with a top 10 finish.
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
