Wow Mu almost stuffed that up by running wide. She has such a huge stride pattern advantage. A fantastic finish. Hodgkinson almost got her.

Brooke has moved to 5th after no jumps on 3rd and 4th attempt.
Olympic and defending world champ Malaika Mihambo of germany had 2 no jumps, the 2nd was a big foul, then jumped a 6.98 to stay in the comp and go second and 4th jump took the lead with 7.09. She is the one to beat.

Amusan a 2nd WR within 2 hours in the 100m hurdles.

What Tobi Amusan did, I'm pretty sure has only ever been done once before when an athlete has set 2 WRs within the same arvo/ within a couple of hours and back to back performance.
Jonathan Edwards in 1995 set back to back WRs.
Almost three weeks before this championship, Jonathan Edwards had just marginally improved upon Willie Banks' ten year old world record (17.97m), by jumping 17.98m in Salamanca. In the preliminary round he was not even the #1 qualifier, edged out by Jérôme Romain. On his first trip down the runway in the final, Edwards became the first athlete in the world to jump further than 18 metres without wind assistance, registering a world record jump of 18.16 m. In his second jump, he jumped even further, setting a new world record of 18.29 m (60 ft 0 in), the first jump one 60 feet and a .31 m (1 ft 0 in) improvement over his previous world record. 67 cm further than silver medal winner Brian Wellman. It took more than 20 years for Christian Taylor to become the first man to jump beyond Edwards' first record.

Cedric Dubler ran his own 1500m this time, not having to coach Ash Maloney and moved himself up from 10th spot to 8th place in the decathlon.

Mondo got the gold, has a crack at 6.06 easy clearance by 15-20cm and a new championship record, knocks off Dimitri Markov's 6.01 in Edmonton in 2001.

What timing, USA dominate and win the 4x4, McLaughlin dominate last leg on her home track, and crowd on their feet and Mondo runs in for a WR attempt and nails it.
What an end to a great meet.

Oz achieved top 10 status on both the medals table - 6th by golds ranking, = 10th by total medals, and = 9th on the placings Table.
Oz achieved 11 top 8 placings for 47 pts and 2nd highest points totals behind 1999 Seville with 58pts and a 7th place with athletes gearing up for Sydney 2000. In Tokyo Oz achieved 14 top 8 placings for 52pts.
The 5 big nations from the Commonwealth - England is the big part of GBR and Nth Ireland team - did well but small nations like Bahamas, Barbados, NZ, Nigeria got several placings so it should still be decent quality finals in a lot of events at the Comm Games, just not the depth.

In Tokyo their were 3 WR's the two 400m Hurdles by Karsten Warholm and Sydney McLaughlin and in Triple Jump by Yulimar Rojas. Also there were 12 Olympic records, 28 area records and 151 national records broken.
In Eugene it was 3 as well. Sydney McLaughlin again in 400m hurdles, Armand Duplantis in the Pole Vault and Tobi Amusan in 100m hurdles broke WR in the semi final and then broke it again in the final 2 hoiurs later but its not recognized as wind was +2.5m. A legal +2.0m probably would have added 0.02 to the time which still would have nbeen a second WR.
By my count 11 championship records were broken, but there will be an article tomorrow summing it all up.
