    Women's 400m Olympic record: 48.25

    McLaughlin 400m Hurdles at worlds: 50.68

    That's one of the more absurd things I've ever seen in track.

    Why does McLaughlin seem so miserable?

    Is she religious or something?

    Oh shit, Warner goes down with popped hamstring in 400m on final event of day in decathlon. Owens Delerme has had an insane season and may be the favorite now

    Healthy Kerley runs down DeGrasse, such a shame as the men have really made up for being so awful in Tokyo.

    Yeah if Kerley runs in this or we put Lyles in the anchor I think we win fairly easily.

    I couldn't watch live last night but caught up. While the men failing is disappointing, I'll take it to get that incredible women's finish. I thought for sure Jamaica would run away with it. Amazing race.

    Really disappointing day from Ayden Owens Delerme in the decathlon (Arkansas T&F athlete) today after being the day 1 leader after Warner’s injury. Had a chance at world title if he matched his season bests in throws and PV today, and instead had some abysmal throws in discus and javelin to take him out of contention to give himself a shot in the 1500m, where he’s elite.
