Kiprop and Kwemoi qualify, Manang'oi did not start. Robby Andrews stepped out of the field but he's on the list of qualifiers lets see if the same laws that eliminated Kemboi apply.
800M Women
Its going to be Nyairera vs Semenya who qualified, Sum and Chebet did not
Wambui should pull a kipyegon kamata semenya at the 100 hapo ndio kick yake huanzia.

What possible postn will we finish overall?
We hv ony 3 events left - M1500m,W800m na Javelin. W800 is very tricky.
Even Javelin Yego had to work hard to qualify.
Based on the medal standings at the moment (we are 18th overall), and assuming max we can get is 3 golds, our best would thus be 11th overall in medal count just after Australia, ceteri paribus.
If we manage 2 then we go 13th.

Long Before Lochte, Ancient Olympians Were Serious TroublemakersQuote:The ancient Olympics featured doping, bribery, boozing, and, shall we say, “finger snapping.”

Maybe Ayana got caught in those moments, they happen once in a while  In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience.

Ayana blew it. Wrong tactics in the preliminary round and in the final. In the end she over-extended herself.
Ask Laura Muir who also blew it in the 1500m

Yaani Japan won silver in the 4 X 100m? and No African team reached the final?
And Japan are always among the contenders in the 4 X 100m
The fastest Japanese sprinter will easily smoke their Kenyan counterpart. No wonder their sevens team is no joke compared to their joke Kenyan counterparts who went to Rio for maziara.

My goodness. I hope they don't subject Wambui to a gender test. The lady is too masculine. Hoping for a great contest today though

Unbelievable that a tiny country like Britain is having 25 gold medals. No wonder they conquered and colonized nearly the whole world not so long ago.

Perfect, perfect, perfect, considering vivian had to take a break from the sport and she comes back like this, ati bolt, ati phelps, hakuna this is the real deal, just brilliant, tremendous effort, amazing persistence, genius tactics.

I was really surprised by Japan winning silver in the relays. Not to take anything from them but their star anchor runner Asuka Cambridge who helped them to clinch it is half Jamaican!!!
