A good effort mate there's no doubt about it.

As expected.

Looked like Peeters obsctructed Anning a bit at the transfer.

I just learned the Dutch team were originally disqualified for this, but then got reinstated.

According to folks it was the officials fault for putting them in the wrong order. Dutch team was leading so they should have been put in the inside lane but GB was put into the inside lane for some reason.

I was feeling a bit sad for Anning after her DQ and she actually had a great run there.

Fucking hell

Interesting.

Relay and especially short track will always have this danger

It's unfortunate

[shenmue]

It's the beauty of the event imho

Mondo classic takes place today from 5.30pm in Sweden. An incredibly stacked lineup.

• Armand Duplantis (SWE)
• Sam Kendricks (U.S)
• Emmanouil Karalis (GRE)
• Ernest Obiena (PHI)
• Kurtis Marschall (AUS)
• Sondre Guttormsen (NOR)
• Thibaut Collet (FRA)
• Renaud Lavillenie (FRA)
• Ben Broeders (BEL)
• Ersu Şaşma (TUR)

[The Thorn]

Everyone has cleared 5.65

Karalis the first to clear 5.80

[shenmue]

Gripping stuff

[The Thorn]

Duplantis, Karelis, Kendricks, Marschall and Collet clear 5.90

[The Thorn]

Karelis clears 6m but fails on 6.05

Duplantis world record attempt coming up

[shenmue]

The tension is slowly but surely building

[The Thorn]

No world record tonight, wasn't even close really. Fair play to all competitors. Roll on the World Indoor Champs next weekend! (No doubt won't see much of it at silly o'clock!)

My mouth is already watering mate in anticipation I can assure you of that
