That was insane… who's coming with me to LA to watch this race!
Done, as long as you watch the 800 with me....
I'm actually probably looking forward most to that race! I want multiple Aggies in there!!

But even with that reaction time and everything his first 60m was .01 off his PB.
Lyles is never winning 100's based the first half of his races. He's the anti Christian Coleman.
I don't know if Lyles in his heart of hearts will still believe he can break the WR after this Olympics, but he obviously has to fix the start to have a chance in hell. But more than that, Thompson has all sorts of issues with his form that can be addressed more readily than Noah's start.
LA will be fun

Look at the reaction time
Lyles was dead last (tied) out of the blocks
Kerley was first
Kerley almost got the automatic DQ.

Only Katie Moon advances in the Pole Vault prelims
Our vaulters have had a really poor showing this Olympics! Hopefully Moon can medal! British star vaulter Molly Caudery didn't get a height after waiting for the last height to open up
Shaine Miller-Uibo doesn't finish! And Kendall Ellis runes a 51 to not get an automatic spot

Such a dumb rule.

Yep 0.1 is crazy. Science has shown reaction time can be as quick as .08
And the average reaction time is way down lately people are training for it with technology I think I heard the average reaction was down from .17 like 8 years ago to .14 now.
Really Lyles reaction time was what used to be average and now he was last at the start.
Is there some where you can stream and watch every vault that's about to start?

Serem of Kenya missed the water jump and almost makes an epic comeback
He was full burn for that last 600m
I think they might lower the number at some point in the near-ish future, but breaking 0.1 is still quite a feat.Zombie Jon Snow said:NoahAg said:94chem said:Zombie Jon Snow said:

Zharnel Hughes got 0.105 at the 2023 world championships final but everyone else was about 0.13 or higher through all the rounds.
I do think, at a minimum, they should just provide a warning for after the gun false starts.
He's going to protest, yeah? Got pushed a little?TRM said:

Thanks for helping 2 old Aggie vaulters watch this together 300 miles apart.
they gave him a spot in the final due to being pushed by the SpaniardTRM said:

200m heats coming up. Lets see how Lyles comes out after yesterday's insanity

I'm glad to hear that one. He easily would have been top 5 without that push.
South African Benjamin Richardson just tore a hamstring in the 200m.
I want to see Kung Fu Kenny get a gold medal.
All 3 Americans win their heats in the 200m
Lyles coasted to first in his heat at 20.19 was not pushed really. He pushed it for about 30M after the curve then shut it down when it was clear he was winning easily.
So Gabby Thomas is one of those people who you want to hate because they're great at everything they try, but you just can't because they're so likable? I guess so.

Women's 5000m final going right now and the Kenya and Ethiopia runners are about to fight in the middle of the race
Would have loved to see the Kenyans and Ethiopians go full WWE there.
Did not have Faith losing the 5k

Allman wins gold in the discus.
Keely Hodgkinson wins gold in the 800
No US medalists. Athing Mu might've brought home gold.
