2021 multi-event

They're jumping. Bar is at 4.82 now.

Will final scores still count for qualifying purposes?

Will final scores still count for qualifying purposes?

They would have to, I'd think.

ZZ and GS both over 5.02. That keeps GS on pace for a Qual score.

GS over 5.12, more cushion points.
ZZ over now.
Uibo jumping with them - over.

GS currently at +145 above 8350 Q pace (after 5.22/17-1 1/2 clearance), and still jumping. Every additional bar (10cm) is worth 5 seconds in the 1500.
Tilga after PV is +90 above 8350 Q pace.

[Atticus]

GS PR 5.22 !

According to my quick math, these combos score 8350

JT/1500

60/5:00
62/5:05
64/5:10

PRs are 69 and 4:44

Looks like GS took one shot at 5.32, missed and moves on to the Jav.

[Dave]

GS PR 5.22 !

8350 looks pretty doable today.

8350 looks pretty doable today.

This may be my bias showing, but I'm not sure 4 Americans will score 8350 this year, so the Qual could get you on the team . . . not that we are counting unhatched eggs!

For GS, yes, agree...

For Tilga

60/~4:32
62/~4:37
64/~4:42

PRs are 69 and 4:35

I’ll assume he isn’t going to screw around here. He will get a safety throw in and then throw like hell on the second and third attempts. Then a full out 1500.

Zackly, just focus on a good technical throw, and increase urgency thereafter.
He's being doing T&F for 15 years now, since he was 12; he knows how to manage this.

...and as for Tilga, who does not have as much cushion... remember, the kid ran with pure guts in the 1000m to win the indoor NCAA. The rest of the meet is over, are they still showing it on SEC+, if so, what's the weather like?

There's just a screen that says, 'Your event is currently in a wether delay'.
I was hoping someone would just turn on the feed and zoom out to see the entire infield.

[Atticus]

The feed just came on!
They're almost ready to throw.

[Atticus]

GS is trying to stroke me out. That throw looked close to 70m and he HAND-fouled.
2nd throw, super-safe, 58.26.

ZZ at 55
KT 66
KS 53

**CLEAR!**

OK, my heart restarted. 65.75 last GS throw.

Now for a character-testing 1500. Sub-5 or bust!

[miketandf]

Come on guys!
Great job!... After JT...
Scantling +135 above 8350Q pace, needs 5:15.54 (PR=4:44.31)
Tilga +66 above 8350Q pace, needs 4:48.04 (PR=4:35.39)

[Atticus]

GS 1500s

5:05 = 8407
5:00 = 8436
4:55 = 8465
4:50 = 8495

4:45 (not even a PR!!) = . . . 8525 . . . Gut Check!
