Thank you - I missed that result.

Olga Rypakova (KAZ) leads women's triple jump at the death with 14.61m (+1.5m/s) =SB! What response from Ibargüen?

It's 14.53m (+0.7m/s), so her streak of 34 is ended by the same person that denied her Olympic gold in 2012!

Schippers takes Heat 1 in the women's 100m, a surprise to nobody. Unimpressive time due to a massive headwind, but she looked strong.

Very impressive running from Nelson! Philip didn't look so good.

Come on Dina and Henry!

Second heat - Gardner in 11.02 (+0.8m/s), Bartoletta 2nd Q in 11.07, Henry 3rd Q in 11.07.

DAS 4th in 11.08 SB, so she'll be in the final too.

Actually can't remember the last time Henry beat DAS in a H2H.

Pretty good for both of them, actually. They should both get through.

Not a good start for Gardner, at least by her standards, but she looked easy.

Agreed grassmarket, good running from both Henry and DAS.

I made a prediction not long ago that Henry will emerge as one of our strongest 100m sprinters, maybe even eclipsing DAS. I stand by that, although I'm a big fan of them both.

Good on Desiree. She seems to have improved her starts and she's got some strength. I wonder if she can pop 11 seconds this season?

Sanya should've taken her performance in Eugene as a subtle hint to call it quits.

Tia Brooks (USA) edges the great Valerie Adams with a 19.73m shot put PB.

Half-beard goes out at 2.23 in the HJ.

If it wasn't so damn windy, today would have been a great opportunity to go sub-8 in the men's 3,000mSC.

Blimey, not a minute passes and C Kipruto / Birech have already gapped the field.

First 1,000m done in 2:35.27. That's a ridiculous pace - next couple will be slower, without doubt.
JavarnJohnson
05-06-2016
This could be very fast...
Edward_Sloley
05-06-2016
Second km in around 2:43. Sub-8 could still happen!

Actually, 65 secs needed for last lap, which is over 400m...

Kipruto wins in 8:00.12 WL/MR! Just outside the milestone!

Mullett 10th in 8:31.13, Gunn 11th in 8:52.60.

Damn, so close!!!

Have the Brits finished yet?

Just checked out Ashleigh Nelson again in the women's 100m Heat 1. She was closing like a beast. I think the final is between Schippers and Gardner, but Nelson looks really good for 3rd. She'll be fighting it out with DAS, Henry and Bartoletta.

Just realised that second heat was the first time two Brits broke 11.1 in the same race.

Never seen the high jump bar dislodged by a breeze before - good to see Grabarz got credit for that 2.26m clearance.

What can Kiprop do in the men's 1,500m? We could see our second WL of the day.
Edward_Sloley
05-06-2016
Kiprop wins in 3:29.33 WL/MR! It's also a UK ACR!

Wightman 9th in 3:37.53 SB, Lancashire 11th in 3:37.77 SB.

Great run!
