What's the most what has dnf'd in a single major race like OG WC EC WCup, NCAA, etcetera?

W800m '93 was pretty catastrophic.

M Perry 11/10
S Kallur 4/1
V Powell 4/1
L Jones 9/1
P Felicien 12/1
D Ennis-London 16/1
A Whyte 25/1
S McLellan 25/1
A Lamalle 33/1
N Denby 33/1
N Yanit 66/1
P Lopes 66/1
V Dixon 80/1

Quite an age range in that field, no? I thought Kallur could sprint the flat in 11-low? :P

btw, Kallur had the better PB in the 100m against Perry (11.30 <-> 11.34)

[Jaack]

Excited to see O'Rourke raise her game and run 12'6 in Osaka.

I must admit, that is funny! Well done! :lol:

Perry through Heat 1 easily at 12.72

[lefterisp]

A lot of depth in this event. 13.08 only good for 8th in the second heat.

[jazzcyclist]

Powell and Felicien are in adjacent lanes in the heats. I wonder if they discussed the finer points of memory erasure while warming up.

[dj]

Three heats of four done and the last time q at the moment is 12.94.

[dj]

Denby's stumble appeared to cost her 3rd in the last heat as it allowed Tejeda to get past her.

I'm wrong,Denby barely held 3rd, with Tejeda 4th in a same-time 12.91.

Last time q was Lacena Golding-Clarke at 12.92.

Seeding must have been perfect (), as it was the first four in each heat who advanced.

[AS]

No big losses from semis:

Through:
Kallur
Ennis-London
Whyte
Jones
Perry
Felicien
Dixon
Powell

Out:
Denby
Golding-Clarke
McLellan
O'Rourke
Lamalle

[Justin Clouder]

The slowest qualifier for the final ran 12.68 in semis - this could be a great final, blanket finish anyone?
