Aussie high jumper does a little boogie before she starts her run up

I love that despite the advancement of technology in apparel and shoes etc, the bib name/numbers are still attached with safety pins.

Haha yeah it's mad.

Dunno if Phoebe Gill has done enough for a final place but will be fascinating to see how she does over the next 4 years.

Has someone glued this high jump bar on?

Reekie looking like she was running in glue for the last 15 metres there

Ha was thinking the same, it's had some bigger hits than the Beatles and stayed on.

Kerr and Ingebrigtsen in the same semi final.

Ooft.

 

[weeman27bob]

Hodgkinson is quick quick

 

[Ali TT]

That's a marker from Hodgkinson, burnt the field out from the start with gears to go.

 

[Furball]

Hodgkinson ran that so well.

 

[ripper868]

Impressive run for Hodgkinson, dominant.

 

[Molehill]

Hodgkinson is surely our biggest certainty for gold, she’s even SPOTY favourite and not even won it yet.

Josh Kerr up next, his battle with Ingebrigtsen could be one of the races of the Olympics (assuming both make Final).

Why do I get the feeling they're going to pay too much attention to each other and let someone else win?

Spoke too soon, the end of the competition was a bit of a damp squib.

It's somewhat ironic that the slimmest competitor throws the hammer farther than the much larger athletes.

Cagey stuff but it Ingebrigtsen's tactic was to run Kerr into the ground, it failed.

 

[ripper868]

Ha, was just thinking Katzberg isn't the typical looking Hammer Throw champion, by some distance as well.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Come on Jamrock!

Quite the spectacle with these Wyatt Family lights.
