    Women's 1500m final was such a mess

    Ugliest race I've ever seen, I think.

    Archer does not play well with others, on at least 3 occasions she nearly brought the field down.

    she was lucky she didn't go off the track, trying the inside lane all the time.
    the spainard was worse, elbows flying everywhere if someone tried to go by and quicken it up.

    U20 championship record?

    It’s recorded as a EU20R on their results but they list his 1:46:13 as his seasons best.


    A very scrappy women’s 1,500. I want expecting Archer to be DQ’ed she was pushing and shoving a bit. She was running into spaces that’s event there.

    Hang on the BEEB reporting she has been disqualified plus one of the Spaniards. Appeal on the way I’m sure.

    Is medalling not a bit optimistic for Healy? 4 of the other 5 athletes have better SBs than her.

    Twice Healy tried to make a move and it was checked off on both occasions. Such a shame because she absolutely could have won bronze there.

    Unlucky for Phil. 4th and a new PB. I didn’t think Williams would be a factor in Lane 1 but she ran a very aggressive first 200. Bol is very impressive, I wonder what she’ll do outdoors?

    She has never run as fast as she did in the final.

    What more do you expect?

    Don’t agree with the RTE studio enthusiasm. Healy was bullied out of it positionally in a race she had the pace to medal in. Has to be more assertive in future I think.

    Ridiculous comment. She ran a PB in the final. What do you want her to do?

    Delighted for Healy but the difference was Williams from Lane 1 getting to the break ahead of her. There was a medal there for sure.

    She ran a brilliant race, unfortunately not getting a medal but I think she gave it her all & got a PB in a final. Not really a lot more you could ask of anyone!

    3 decent 400 out doors and she will be an olympian in 2 events.

    Phil Healy did so well, setting a new PB in that environment. Williams was the surprise package. On another day, Phil could have taken the bronze.

    Femke Bol is unreal. I reckon she’s already capable of a sub-50 400m outdoors. I can’t remember the last European woman to achieve that. Maybe Antonina Krivoshapka?

    She’ll need a very good run to qualify

    51:3 is QT

    I didn’t realise Bol is actually a 400 hurdler. She’ll be a real threat in that event in Tokyo with that flat speed. The Dutch have a lot of athletes coming through. Krivoshapka was sub 50, along with a few other Russians, but they have all since serve doping bans. So it’s not a fair comparison.

    Surprised at that. Seemed to try and barge through on the inside when there was no gap.
