One second outside the WR for Jebet! But, as Crammy said, she seemed to be not bothered about the WR, easing up in the last 60 metres.

Jebet saving the WR for a lucrative appearance on the circuit!

Continental records for Jebet and Coburn in 3rd and a host of PBs down to 9th.

But, yeah, barring injury it's just a matter of time before she crushes the WR. It's time really, it's a not a mature WR yet. It needs to get down to 8:45/8:50 to start to be comparable in strength to other WRs. |

Anita clearly wants to have at least the top 50 throws of all-time. ![]() Quote:

![]() Yep, no-one has dominated it for ages as shown by the paucity of sub-48 times in recent years. Also hoping for Van Zyl. Nice when veterans do well

Someone mentioned Wariner but there is also Devon Allen in the sprint hurdles. He goes tonight.

So happy for Sophie.
A NR!! On a different point. I wonder why the on-screen graphics do not show anything about NR, PB, WL, SB and so on? No little on-screen icon next to their names. Steve Cram said something about it last night. It's annoying. I suppose we should be lucky they display WR.

![]() Nozawa of Japan blasting the 4th heat, jogging in the last 40m comfortably and still winning, running a 48.62 PB. Very impressive. |

Yeah, the lad did well.

So ... 4 World records in the last 4 weeks!
When was the last time that happened?Admittedly 2 of them were in 2 women's events that either have to fully mature (Hammer) or have very few opportunities for all the best to race each other (10,000m). |

Yeah, they never do with the 'new' Olympics graphics. It's also a bit annoying that they don't show PBs and SBs when the athletes are being introduced.
I don't understand the decision to omit this information. |
