Before they DQ'd Allen I thought Holloway was guilty because of the way he sits in the blocks.

Been watching the Womens marathon for 30 mins now; are they running a different course than the men?

I hope so, I have to go towards that part of town in a minute and don't want to deal with detours.

That Devon Allen DQ might be the straw that breaks the camel's back with false start rules. Either they ditch the one and done DQ or they allow officials some leeway to review video.

Can someone explain to me how they chose 0.100 when someone is able to react 0.99? I don't understand this...

It's at least similar. I wasn't able to to drive down MLK by Autzen, had to take the long way around. Looks like a fair amount of spectators for a women's event on a Monday morning.

Don't have time to quote the relevant part but this goes through it.

There is no way the tolerances in the system can be that accurate. Many of these folks are just a fraction over 0.1. What's to say their block wasn't just a hair less sensitive when combined with how a guy loads. Insane to have auto-DQ set at that level of time

Same lol! I'm rooting for her now! What a shame, that could easily easily be Tyra on the podium tonight but instead it's someone she used to beat like crazy. She fell for tu coaches lies and gave up the Heptathlon this year which is absolutely wild. A hep in the country which she lives in on the national stage where all her family could go and watch. She couldn't even qualify in the high jump either, she will be doing the long jump but she's not where she used to be last year… so I don't think she'll make the finals, oh well she's making a small NIL deal while our girls are signing pro contracts

I think Hall finishes in bronze, unless the other girls ahead of her bomb the 800 and Hall can beat them by 20 seconds. But that's a tough ask! Still a bronze medal at the world championships and a near 300 point PR is crazy!

Anna Hall competed in any and every possible event to give Florida points. The 800m tonight will be her 73rd event she is competing in this season but people saying Tyra was being overused by us. Just crazy.
She might want to justify her actions now since Coach Brady has left us

If Hall equals the PB she ran in May (2:03) she has real shot at catching Thiam and Vetter. Based on past form, both are likely to be over 2:20. I hope Hall goes for it and doesn't play it safe to preserve the bronze.

Would also note that if she runs very close to her PB she can become the second highest scorer in US history, after JJK.

This is also a year from her surgery after trials last year! Her potential is through the roof! As she will only get better in the jumps

Based on PBs in the 800m

Anouk VETTER - 2:17.71 - 876 points - Possible total points 6921
Nafissatou THIAM - 2.15.24 - 906 points - Possible total points 6932
Anna HALL - 2.03.11 - 1107 points - Possible Total Points 6848 points.

It is going to be close. It would be a great race. Expect some personal bests

Don't know if anyone made mention of this already but the women's 800 final is barely more than an hour before the 4x400 final. Hard to see Mu running on the relay in that case - which is a shame.

The 800 PBs for Vetter and Thiam were made 5-6 years ago. I'm guessing they are not in that form now. Vetter ran 2:21 in May.

So do Lyles and Knighton fight in the final this year

Must be someone on the inside. Nobody questions the big orange machine

And NBC is only showing a delayed broadcast today… pathetic for a World Championship

There some ****nsemi blurred live streams on YouTube that I'm watching

Is it on TV tonight?
