I really hope Victor can get over 2 meters in this high jump! He's going to really need it!

Seasons best 1.99 in the high jump! His PB is 2.07 but from 7 years ago! A 2.02 would be huge!

Great heat by the Deadman and Little in the mixed 4x400. WR in the prelim.


BTW. I truly enjoy the world live broadcast on peacock. So much better than Ross and Otto.

In the mixed relay I wish they would go back to letting each team choose the order they want to run it. MMFF, MFFM, FFMM, MFMF, or FMFM. Adds strategy/excitement

Me too! I can't believe they changed that!!

Not a fan either. Simplification is not needed here. Strategy is the fun part.

They didn't like the look of a woman having a 30 meter lead and getting run down and passed by men.

Absolutely incredible 10km! Only the fourth US medal ever at the distance and Fisher is such a likable guy, too. Also really happy for Cheptegei.

Looked like 7 of the top 8 runners all had the same shoe, nice commercial for that specific Nike model

Will post a picture soon, but just finished watching tonight's track on a big screen sitting on the Tiber River in Rome with the Castel San Angelo in the background. Good evening in my book behind the guys actually there

Like these repechage rounds to give an extra chance to qualify for the next round. It at least gives the runners one extra race at the Olympics instead of being one and done.

Lindon Victor is having himself a day in Paris! He is in medal contention! I repeat he is in medal contention!

Favorite Damien Warner fouls out of the pole vault! Neugebauer should win! Victor is in 3rd but should fall behind in the pole vault! He's just behind Owens Delerme for 2nd but Rootj of Norway and Williams of USA are behind him and should pass him in this pole vault! With only the javelin and 1500 left

Jacob Wooten fails to make it to the finals in the pole vault… as does Chris Nilsen

Decathlon Standings after 8 events

1. Leo Neugebauer (Germany) - 7410
2. Markus Rooth (Norway) - 7271
3. LINDON VICTOR (GRENADA) - 7191
4. Ayden Owens-Delerme (Puerto Rico) - 7153
5. Harrison Williams (USA) - 7118

This looks to be Neugebauer's gold since Damien Warner of Canada got zero points in the pole vault! There is a 4 way fight for silver and bronze! Victor could move to 2nd after the javelin if he has a great comp! He's going to need it because he has a slower 1500 time

Share this with The Zoo. They'll love that you're watching from Rome.

Enjoy!

No doubt. They are focused on the optics of it. I'm more intrigued by the fact it gives them more variables to get to the same end result, so fun to watch it play out. Those dramatic changes is what makes it fun and unique.
