¶'09 WC mLJ: Dwight Phillips (US) 28-¼ (8.54)

[3a]

Rutherford doing his usual of great qualification, brutal final. If Saladino and one other person breaks 8, he's out...which is very likely.

Good to see Phillips doing well so far

[eldrick]

i have a bad feeling in my waters for dwight

i hope he gets an 8.60 to kill it otherwise someone's going to get an 8.55 with a +1.5 to sneak him

Third foul for Saladino

[nevetsllim]

Saladino - three fouls.

I think I said this earlier: The track gods mock us!!!!! :x

I can't believe Saladino couldn't drop 7.86m or better. Crazy!

Oh well, let's see if Mokoena can go 8.50+ and Phillips 8.70m+

wow im surprised he fould that last one. I though he would have just jumped a safe jump instead of try and force it.

He is bonkers.... 3 fouls 5cm over, 5cm over, 3cm over.. talk about not being able to react.... move your damn maker back a bit!!!!!

[nevetsllim]

Two Brits into the top eight but I've been disappointed by Greg's first three jumps.

[Peter Michaelson]

Have to wonder about the mascot sitting by the long jump pit. Keeps sitting there despite getting sand from the pit heaped upon him jump after jump!

[Vault-emort]

837 for Watt

At this level, it's not that simple. Adrenaline lengthens the strides and he could have been moving back 8cm every time.

The Panamanian federation head should resign immediately :roll:
