I have considered discus as the most boring event in athletics but today's competition was an exception.

WILMA!

Wow, 475 not good enough for a medal in women's pole vault.

WILMA CLEARS 480 AND RETAKES THE LEAD!

At lest we have bronze medal from these championships.

Karsten Warholm had no business being in this final. But they obviously didn’t have the guts to do the right thing against one of the biggest favourites.

I usually like him though but this stinks.

Is this a new thing or has it been for some time that medals are given right after the competition? None of that standing on the podium and listening to national anthems.

Started last year or in Tokyo Olympics.

Hammer trow seems to be Canada's game now. Gold in men's and women's.

Duplantis is must watch TV. When the bare minimum is winning the gold, and people will go home disappointed if you don't get the world record, you're probably doing something right.

"Sakari" wins her second gold of the championships.
