2021 Gateshead DL2

[gm]

zzzzzzzzz... waiting for someone to come along and explain how exciting that women's mile was because "tactics"

[gm]

Harris with a pretty bold move that paid off... 1:44.76 and a DL win ain't bad

110m hurdles

Ronald Levy 13.22
Omar McLeod 13.42

Interesting!

Kerley is beginning to look like a 400 meter guy playing at the 100.

[Vault-emort]

Jamaican selectors have no case to answer.

[Trickstat]

Bromell shows he can do it outside the US.

[Vault-emort]

Nice run from Bromell despite cool conditions.

Much better than women's 200m times.

[shivfan]

Women's 200m

Elaine Thompson 22.43
Jodie Williams 22.60
Blessing Okagbare 22.61

[shivfan]

Good to see Bahamian veteran Donald Thomas winning the men's high jump with 2.25.

[Vault-emort]

It's obvious the commentators can't speak out against this stupid field event format.

[Vault-emort]

Bol certainly is a medal favourite, which - despite her Euro form - I wouldn't have thought a month or two back.

[booond]

Good run by Bol, flat race by Little.

[shivfan]

Women's 400m hurdles

Bol 53.24
Little 54.53
Russell 54.66

There's no rain, guys!

[Vault-emort]

Typical English weather predicted for Gatehead DL. 18°C and 63% chance of rain for 2:00pm.

What is the risk of injury in such conditions?

Apparently none if you have a decent coach and warm-up routine.

(Quoting from posts made about Sha'Carri competing in Gateshead a month or so back)

[ATK]

Pichardo jumps 17.29m on his first attempt and is passing the rest, knowing no one in the field can touch that. Let's hope he doesn't foul in round 6 and end up finishing 2nd or 3rd...

Hes safe with a 17.50m jump in round 6.

But Pereira ends up 3rd despite jumping 17.11m to Bocchi's 17.04m
