Vaguely comical. Daf could win this blindfolded.

Second semi - Lalova-Collio in 11.26 (-0.4m/s), Pinto in 11.27. Pohrebnyak also clocked 11.27 but has to wait for a fastest loser spot.

That was as tight as the men's final.

Third semi - Henry in 11.09 (+0.2m/s), Kambundji in 11.23

Let's see if Henry can actually replicate in a final this time. She didn't hold anything back.

Desiree Henry, 11.09 very good indeed. And a great second for Kambundji who always does well when she isn't carrying anything.

Jaz Sawyers 6.25 in round 1 of the LJ, will need to do more. Still, beating Spanovic so far who NJed.

As long as the sight of Big Daf blasting off in to the far distance doesn't freak her out, I reckon Desiree should get a medal, based off that heat.

Norwegian absolutely blew that coming off the bend...saw Jack Green hit the first hurdle so presume that was what did for him.

Is the entire Turkish athletics team just a bunch of Mercenaries?

No, all the crap ones are Turks.

Spanovic 6.94 in the LJ, everyone else might as well get the tram to Centraal Station.

Turkey must have the largest team of athletes not born in Turkey - I have so many doubts over their athletes

Every nation has their fair share of "imports", but the Turks really have taken it to new levels.

Sawyers improves to 6.63m (+1.7m/s) with her second jump.

Men's 400m final - Rooney in 45.29

And the other thing is that they never compete outside of Turkey except at major champs. Very much following the traditional Russian and Greek formula.

Yes!!!! GOLD!!! for Martin Rooney, well-judged race.

Well done, Rooney! Exciting race.

Roooney!

I sometimes have my doubts about him, but that did look a smart run from him down that back straight.

Hopefully take that into RIo - for the relay at least where we might have a chance to medal?

Mind you, at a time that will probably barely get into the Olympic semi, but gather ye rosebuds while ye may.

Yeah, global times are way beyond what we are seeing here, but at least we have a few guys on the same level.

I remember a few year ago 40 odd failed drugs tests from Turkey athletes - but who knows

At least that was when they were mostly all actual Turks, obviously they have changed tactics since then.

Yep I think a relay medal could happen in Rio - Matthew Hudson Smith ran well at the nationals

Buy them in - use to be the gulf states who liked that. Mind you GB has a few but at least they had nationality rights.
