Kurtis Marschall 5.95m for bronze in the Men's Pole Vault.
Mondo Duplantis kept me up until midnight to watch him go 6.30m on his third attempt for a new World Record.
For Mondo 6.31m can't be too far away. ;)  :D

Gout Gout's ability to maintain his speed over the last 50m is phenomenal.  He'd be hard to beat if he could accelerate a little faster at the start.

When he transitions form boy to man, puts on a little muscle, he will be an animal who will be extremely hard to beat.

It's important we don't have too high expectations for Gout Gout for the rest of this meet.
By making the semis he's already achieved a great deal.
To make the final would be sensational...but he is up against the best in the world, mature runners at their peak
Plenty of time in the years ahead.

He does have this ability to maintain speed
I suspect his best combination may not necessarily be the 100/200 but he might be more suited the 200/400.
He's run a 46.20 400 without really training for it.

Watching him match it with world class athletes like that makes it easy to forget that he’s still a schoolboy.

Gout 4th in his semi-final  in wet conditions 20.36
Torrie Lewis 4th in her Semi Final 22.69

Three Australians through to the semis of the 800.
Jess Hull fell in her heat and trailed the field in but has successfully appealed and will run with Claudia Hollingsworth (1.59.06) and Abbey Caldwell ( 1.58.71)

Eleanor Patterson and Nicola Olyslagers both qualify for the High Jump Final

The best race of the night was the Women's 400m final...
Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone (USA) 47.78 and Marileidy Paulino (Dominica) ran the second and third fastest 400 ever.
SML's time should be a World record.

The fact that Marita Koch's 1985 run 0f 47.60 still stands as the World record is an absolute disgrace.

Aussies doing well at the WC's for sure. Gout has time, will be up there with the greats by the time he's finished I reckon.

She's very positive :D
She was clearly the best jumper in the competition despite getting her 2.00m clearance before the worst of the rain.
She had two really good attempts at 2.02m. None of the other competitors came close.
