Running, jumping, throwing n stuff

World champ athletics started in Budapest.

Is shot put the national sport behind rugby in New Zealand? Two guys competing for medals, although the American is Usain-Bolt levels shall of the field.

Looking forward to the mixed 4x400m in a few minutes.

Mixed relays are truly the GOAT of all relay sports.

Ethiopian 123 doesn't tell the whole story of the women's jogging around for 9600m then racing for 400 race.

Huge throw in the shot put there

Someone shooting Dutch athletes with an invisible laser from the stands?

 

[weeman27bob]

Crazy finish

 

[weeman27bob]

An absolutely huge finish in the heptathlon from KJT.

Anna Hall gave it her all, but an excellent javelin and 800m from the scouser brings it home.

 

[grecian]

Well done KJT

 

[Ali TT]

Great to see her win again, some effort to come back from injury to regain the World title.

 

[weeman27bob]

I like how much the multi-sport athletes seem to like each other - I guess it's a mutual respect for how difficult it is.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Needed a PB to win gold and just refused to give Hall the gap that she needed. Good work

 

[weeman27bob]

Ludicrously close finish in the 100m

 

[Prince EWS]

Throwing stuff eh...

Yeah, we've done pretty well in it. We also have probably the greatest clean/drug free female shotputter of all time who retired a few years ago.

How do you know she was clean? When it comes to Athletics - Trust No One......

Dunno if I trust timing to 1/1000th of a second across 2 separate races but nevermind. Go Dina! Shelley-Ann Fraser-Pryce's hair is lit, as they say, literally.

The discus guys showing how to finish a throwing stuff competition with the gold medal spot swapping twice over the final two throws.

Very good genes - her little (very big actually) brother plays in the NBA and taro (known as Pacific Island steroids) probably more significant imo. She's one of the greatest field stars of the last 15 years but her distances are miles behind those from the 1980s Eastern Bloc athletes.

Yeah, that’s a family of physical freaks

If you ever want a good laugh, listen to an interview with her brother

The guy is a classic laid back Kiwi bro

Is the women's 100m world record the least authentic one still going?
