2016 Rio Olympics: Official Day 5 Live Discussion Thread

I didn't watch the hurdles. How does 13.36 make the final on time? Why are the hurdlers so slow this year.

What does it normally take to make it? 27 guys have run that this year. 8 of them can't figure out how to do it in the Olympics?

Sydney out.

You get what you get wrote:

Hejnova 54.55 wins semi 1

Spencer 54.86 hit the last hurdle.

Did Spencer step out of her lane?

Yes, but it doesn't matter because is wasn't on the curve and she didn't impede other runners.

Sydney eliminated and nobody is happier about it than her.

+1

Too much hype on Sydney. Reminds me of the hype around Lolo Jones.

53.90 for Muhammad. Not only does she have speed, but she has no hesitation into the hurdles.

Good run by Clement.

Barshim, Drouin, Bondarenko, and Protsenko all over 2.33 first time. All of those 4 but Protsenko have a clean sheet, Protsenko has one miss at 2.29. Clement went 48.26 and looked good, maybe we will see a sub 48 this year.

South African guy really died there

Whyte 48.33 to win the second heat
