Val about to get her medal

I hate that they didn't build podiums with a basic plastic screen between each level. Those photos will be shown to their grand kids, would be so much better without masks.

Off the masks come for a photo op. Not sure why they need to stay on during the anthem

Kerr clears the height!

[canefan]

Holy crap, the guy from Qatar has got crazy hops, and rapper swag to boot

800m - too far to sprint, too short to pace. Brutal distance.

[Rapido]

That was a crazy fun 800m semi.

Pole squeezed through a gap on inside twice!

Who is the kiwi commentator on the high jump?

[Rapido]

Huge jump by the one eyed crow!

Kerr wasn’t even close to it. He’s all done.

[Stargazer]

That means a 10th place for Kerr.

Well above his pb, but he's still young so hopefully he'll use it as a platform and build towards 2024.

Looking at the field, he should be targeting a medal at the comms next year (assuming that they happen).

This Qatari is a freak

[Rapido]

This korean jumper is awesome!

[Stargazer]

New National Record for Korea.

The Aussie jumps a season best (or pb?)!

[gt12]

Spanish triple jumper is my kind of angry.

They said his PB is 2.36. 1 cm higher than this

So good.

Helped to keep him light by eating most of his food for him

[ACT Crusader]

This high jump is fantastic.

If only there was a crowd to watch it 😕

[antipodean]

Triple jump looks like gold was won in the first jump. Venezuelan Yulimar jumps an OR and no one has got close since.
