Kerr came close, agonizingly close to clearing 234. None else has looked like clearing it.
He has one more attempt. As things stand he gets bronze.
-
Yes! Over.. as is woo - so it's a two man fight to clear 236;for gold.
-
Huge from Kerr
-
That first attempt at 2.34 for Kerr was so close
-
Massice

Does Woo go to 2.38
-
It’s been a great noght - that 110m hurdle race was big time by Tinch. The 1500m women’s and Hull holding on for bronze.
-
Woo misses and Kerr gets the gold

Yes I was glad for hull - it looked like she was going to drop into 4th as she was flagging so bsdly on the home straight.

Olympic and World champ. Amazing stuff from Kerr

Kipyegon is just a freak and ran a perfect race, but for Hull to hold off one of the other Kenyans was good ol Aussie grit.

Great victory for the big fella. I fear these golds won't get the adulation they deserve due to the timezone and the lack of TV coverage here.

Hand it to the Aussies, they have it on two free to air channels with two different commentary teams.

I reckon 95% of that is because of Gout Gout, our teenage sprinter. Running in the heats of the 200m tonight, 9:15pm. Can't wait.
We've legit never had a good male sprinter before. If this guy is good... we're entering the Gout Gout age.
Edit: This is him breaking our national 200m record at age 16:
-
Yeah looking forward for seeing the young kid on the big stage. Shirvo was a decent sprinter, but OZ have never had someone that ran with this sort of ease. The expectations are as high as I’ve seen maybe since peak Sally Pearson

You had a guy get a silver medal in the 200m. Then your Olympic Committee blackballed him for wearing a human rights badge.
Edit: He had held that 200m record that Gout Gout broke since 1968.

Catching up on the events from earlier/yesterday - it is absurd how Sydney McLaughlin runs a US record time in the 400 and it looks like she is just jogging the last 50 meters.
It seems like she has it within her to break the WR.
