Zürich DL 2021

[Atticus]

Not sure I've ever seen a pass at 2.01 like that (Las).

And she's over 2.03!! As is Mahuch! McD passes after a miss.

[ATK]

Lasitskene really is the one of the best clutch performers. 2 misses at 1.96m and now clear at 2.03m

[Atticus]

McCarter freight-trains an 8.14. He's a big guy.

[ATK]

Steffin McCarter, leading the Mens LJ after 3 rounds, another American who can get a wild card to Eugene

[Atticus]

Depending on the construction of the HJ apron, will they get a bounce?

Well, it ain't hurting!

I didn't realize that McD is 24; Ida thot she was 20/21.

Watching Lasit in slo-mo - I really like her take-off, very efficient.

[Atticus]

C'MON!
McD so close to 2.05.

And Lasit is over!!!

[ATK]

Lasitskene says game over

[scottmitchell74]

Oh, wow. 2.05

[ATK]

Mahuchikh going for 2.07m now

[Atticus]

Since 2012 (when IAAF granted the DL winner a wild card) USATF's rule has been if the reigning world champ is American, they take precedent with the wild card.

Let's amend that. Both go. Then we get Kovacs and Crouser auto-in. There's still two more places at the WC Trials.

[Atticus]

2.09 for Lasit - why not?

[ATK]

Lasitskene with the win, now going for 2.08m

Nevermind, she's jumping at 2.07m

[Atticus]

Big two's clearances over 2.07 or higher, just for grins.

2.09 Kostadinova
2.08 Kostadinova
2.08 Vlasic
2.07 Kostadinova
2.07 Kostadinova
2.07 Kostadinova

I rather fancy this setup for field events. Not as big as a stadium but it's more intimate and the focus is all on the field events.

I also like the smaller final field. 12 is too much, I think in championships make the cutoff 8, I wouldn't even mind 6 like they did here. You get to know the athletes better and let's face it...pretty rare a 10th or 12th place qualifier does anything in the final.

[Dave]

Ha. Big men break things. Like the stopboard.

Crouser looks like a caged panther, waiting for the fix.

Now he looks like AOY. Undefeated, new world record, Olympic champion.
