Poor Dina.

Poor Dina.

Very iffy as to whether that time is going to be good enough.

 

[Diddy]

I wish Nishikori had been knocked out by a medalist at least!

 

[FetchFugly]

Good for Daryll. Poor Dina, her performance doesn't bode well for the 200m.

 

[Say Sheena-na-na]

Not surprised at all about Dina but so sad. Such bad timing. Hope the 200 is better and she’s been sharpened by these races.

 

[win_the_game]

Apart from Daryll Neita today has been a bit of a disaster for British athletics.

Not sure how Reece Prescod got away with that false start, although with a 5th place it won’t matter.

I wonder what’s going wrong?

 

[FetchFugly]

Dina is such a class act. You could tell she was doing all she could to hold it together then the 200m was mentioned

 

[dzjermlaw]

Dina out of the 200 with an injury.

 

[Madison]

She’s so likeable.

 

[win_the_game]

This is devastating for Dina.

 

[dzjermlaw]

I wonder if it’s too early to note that GB have never failed to win a single athletics medal at an Olympics.

 

[Say Sheena-na-na]

I wonder if it’s too early to note that GB have never failed to win a single athletics medal at an Olympics.

It’s crossed my mind.

 

[Say Sheena-na-na]

That Dina interview was awful. Zooming in on someone entirely distraught is really not on.

 

[FetchFugly]

She is going through it again on Eurosport, but holding it together much more (and being distracted by false starts). Said she wants to do the relay.

 

[Say Sheena-na-na]

She’s so classy. I love her so much. Loved that she took the time to congratulate Daryll first before anything else.

 

[FetchFugly]

Quite a mullet on Browning.

 

[FetchFugly]

Great to see all three British women in the 800m final. Keely came from way back.

 

[Say Sheena-na-na]

I put a fiver on her to win gold and it wouldn’t surprise me if it was her vs Mu for the final

 

[win_the_game]

San Marino DOUBLED their total ever medal count with a silver in the Mixed Trap Shooting!

It's pleasing to see so many countries winning medals. 72 have at least one so far. At this rate the record set in Rio could be broken.

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

What's the ice between the Jamaican girls?

 

[FetchFugly]

What's the ice between the Jamaican girls?

They said that Thompson-Herah had left the coaching team but that was super frosty.

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

I just saw that interview with Dina.

Aw babe.

 

[BoysForSeles]

Superb sprinting from the Jamaican ladies. Haven’t seen that much iciness since the imperial Ottey v Devers v Torrence v Privalova days.
