BigFatCoward Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 The men's 400m hurdles is going to go off. Warholm and Benjamin are both sub 47 runners, and the 2nd semi saw people running world class times 47.31 and 47.47. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ithanos Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Unbelievable sportsmanship in the Men's High Jump final! Instead of going to a jump off the two leads, Barsham of Qatar and Tamberi of Italy had a conversation with the official and Barsham asks; "Can we have two Golds?" and the official gives it to them!

She got up, from the ground, and ran everyone down like they all owed her money! The only concern is whether she'd expended too much energy - as she's in the 5000m final which is coming up in an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
