2022 Doha DL

Kipsang confirms his 3:31a chops!

Woo first over 2.30. And now over 2.33.

[JMysterio]

You should probably have googled that back when he ran 4th at the Tokyo Games..

You didn't take that seriously did you?

Oh! Only a +2.1 wind, Lyles looked great. Kerley couldn't make a dent at the end.

19.72 to 19.75.

De Grasse has work to do.

De Grasse always has work to do during these pre-Champ meets. Same old. He will be in the mix when it matters.

I think Allyson's 21.98 meet record is gonna fall if the wind cooperates.

[Atticus]

Oh! Vadlejch out to 89.87!

[Atticus]

By the way, Sowinski is a GREAT rabbit - he's always checking the field to see if they are close enough.

[JMysterio]

Well, he was 7th with 100 to go and finished 6th, so.....

Ok, he was even with one guy before passing at the end...way out of camera range.

I think most guys prefer to throw with the wind in the javelin now, and I wonder how far prime-Vetter would have thrown.

Used to be a slight head-wind was best, yes? Did something change besides moving the CoG forward a bit?

[Atticus]

Hmm, JuV missed two at 2.24, passed 2.27 to take a shot at 2.30.

Interesting. Reversing JT direction is rare in my experience, but maybe I just wasn't paying attention.

Rohler struggling with 72 and 69.

since they reversed direction (after PV was out of the way) the throwers must have thought so.

Weber up to 86 in Jav - is the wind a significant help?

Interesting Puma 'toga' vest for Anderson

I ain't no fashionista, but that clear strap was tacky!

Regardless of whether she was testing new things, SMU was decidedly beaten there by Paulino. It shows how good Paulino is becoming and that you can't mess about with that calibre of competition. I'm sure SMU will be much better in not-so-windy conditions, but still, I was a little surprised just how much she did struggle in that final 50m.

Wouldn't it be weird if she fails again to win a World gold this summer!

Paulino looked very good and is definitely a threat for the gold in Eugene.
