DAKE BOMBS!!!! Oh my god!!!
Unbelievable! He can do anything when he flips the switch. Just wish he’d found it in the semifinals
Nothing they could do about it though!
Gibo is shattered and likely out of the final
Seriously incredible bad luck for him when it comes to the olympics

Gutted for Tamberi
Clearly struggling with his health

Don't feck this up Jakob
Trinidadian rider had a really nasty crash in the velodrome. Fortunately it looked like he was conscious when they took him out of the building
Fischer will win this

History made with Albania* winning its first ever Olympic medal.
* it was won by a Russian world & national champion
* it was won by a Russian world & national champion
This is slow and also obviously overcrowded.... could be a messy ending here.
A cradle to win gold in freestyle. Not something you see everyday
Here we go..
Jakob takes it!
Kenya 2nd. US 3rd.

JAKOB!
Bossed it.
Class of his own there.
Thought Jakob was stuck boxed in on the inside then just took off
Great control in that one, assertive throughout.... helped keep it from being a mess too with solid communication throughout. Well earned gold that.
those high jump fellas are unnatural. I have played volleyball before, where the net is 2,43m.... to think these guys are clearing almost that is weird
Faith Kipyegon
What a legend.
What a legend.
Bronze!
What a race.
Excellent effort from Georgia Bell to get the bronze in the 1500. Ran the perfect race
I know - where does the power come from for their jumps? Just crazy to watch..
Incredible run from Georgia bell, great effort from Laura Muir as well. British record for Bell and a PB for Muir
Hey, cheer up a bit. The CAS stripped Chiles of Bronze today.
Great bronze and sublime effort from Muir who absolutely stuck to her game plan. Can't fault that one from a Team GB perspective, the winner is legendary.
What happens in the high jump if multiple people can’t clear the same height 3 times?
Faith kipyegon won the 1500 in Rio with 4 minutes 9 seconds, then ran 3:53 in Tokyo to win and now 3:51
Just ask to have multiple golds again?
From the BBC: Georgia Bell took 14 seconds off her personal best in that final. FOURTEEN.
Goes on countback - whoever has failed less earlier heights wins. If they are still level there should be a jump off.
Thanks. Why was there a shared gold last Olympics? They were tied on failures and agreed to not have a jump off?
The athlete with the fewest misses at the last cleared height.
If that is same as well, there's a jump off between them, or like famously in Tokyo ( Bashim and Tamberi agreed to share gold)
