Is the NCAA running the show? Crazy.

BBC just said Diro has been 'reinstated' into the final on 'sentimental' grounds despite two even slower runners also qualifying? So looks to me like she q'd on time anyway (9.34)?
Giro and two others advanced onto final inSteeple

The other two were advanced as well. None qualified in time

what absolutely incredible last round of the discus. Here is a quick rundown of how it went.
Kupper from estonia goes from 6th to 2nd
Jasinski from germany had been in 3rd, got bumped back to 4th but then jumped back up into 2nd.
Harting had been in 2nd, fell back to 3rd but then jumped into 1st
Malachowski had led the entire competition but could not respond to harding and had to settle for silver.
Final results
Harting
Malachowski
Jasinski
Kupper
Thanks for the recap. That is crazy.
A bit hidden in the results:11th place, Michelle Finn, Ireland--she was part of that crazy women's 4x4 relay that went viral on YouTube.

I saw her. It was Ayalew . Shew as 4th at the 2012 Games, 4th in 2013 and 5th in 2015. i wonder if she was injured or something. That was bizarre. She was coming to a complete stop in the water jump.

Vicaut is in danger of not advancing to the semis.
wtf bromell
Bolt looks leaner than he has, almost like his 2008 self. I don't see him losing this, unless there is a false start.
He better stop playing around on these heats or he will miss the big show. Half-assing it won't get him there.
Blake is back on the juice!

Sounds like you two need to have a discussion.
While they're at it, what's a "batt-on" the English announcer keeps talking about?

Saint Lucia
If three auto advance, is there a time-qualifier spot taken away?
too easy. 10.07 is a recovery jog for Bolt
Bolt gets a bigger roar for scratching his butt in a prelim than anyone else does for setting a WR for gold in the final.

Yes,we reported that 20 minutes ago.
Bolt won his heat but had a horrible start . He didn't look great and wasn't happy with it. I saw him blow of NBC and the post-race interviews.
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
RENATO can you talk about the preparation of Emile Cairess 2:06
Running for Bowerman Track Club used to be cool now its embarrassing
Rest in Peace Adrian Lehmann - 2:11 Swiss marathoner. Dies of heart attack.
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
