Jaysis Greg, you don't have to pose in front of the guy's coach!

I reckon Jess gets silver. So one medal of each colour for the night - says something about the state of British athletics when that haul is a bit disappointing.

BBC live feed have described #handinthesandgate as a "schoolboy error". I love that phrase 
Not sure why, it just amuses me and I use it myself quite often!!

Tall order but there's nobody more determined, I really hope she can do it.

Yipchaa!
BBC has "unconfirmed reports" that JEH has to beat Thiam by 9.47 secs, which happens to be the exact difference between their PBs!
Thiam has been eating her PBs though while Jess prefers to refer to PPPBs - post-pregnancy PBs.
Christ, KJT down to 8th
She'll have other chances.

Around 10 seconds, which is doable but quite squeaky bum time!

Don't monkey with the buzzsaw
I think it's more like 10 secs and that's the difference between their PBs

Sounds like Phil's been doing a bit of shouting His voice wasn't sounding that bad in other interviews!

I love watching Rudisha run. Great style. Him in the 800 in London was THE performance of the whole games, it was astonishing.

I was going to go back to bed but I think I really ought to watch the women's 100m final!

And now the women's 100m. Come ON Shelly-Ann

Watching Fraser-Price and Schippers race each other is great, such different styles and physique.

I love Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce's hair plus the gold decorations on her arms!!

What a run that was!

Great run by Elaine Thompson!

Huh, I didn't think SAFP even got bronze. I'm getting bad at this.

Nah, I thought she got 4th also

She's really great at more than half of the events - could be competitive at a couple of them if she specialized - but she's not a kid any more and she still can't compete in the shot and the javelin. Like, at all.
QueenOfGoths
Fuck you Dave!
Awww poor Greg
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
Greg should be proud, bronze at the Long Jump (an event I feel where winners and losers can change in just matters of days) is still a good achievement. He's got gold at them all though, worlds, commonwealth, and the olympics. Take a bow fellow ginger, I want kids like you. And a beard like yours.
And you.
And you.
Rutherford is very emotional, and they gave him that foul jump in the end (and rightly so)
I thought that was a foul jump FAR too close to call. I'm surprised something like hawkeye hasn't really been introduced into some field events, it's extremely close to call things like that.
