Just noticed the auto correct of Paulino across the page. Paulino won quite easily in the end and would have been interesting if she'd had SML outside her. Would have definitely been best to have them in same race for competition purposes even if I understand they can't really break their rules.

Only Blake broke 10 secs in the 100m, definitely not conditions for sprints.

Amazingly different physiques for the shot putters. Intriguing to understand the impact (or lack of it) of the different build types.

As good as duplantis is, 5:92 opener is impressive!!

I was unimpressed by the tights! Showed a lack of intent, though that may just be my prejudices against that particular item of kit!

Dina Asher-Smith has run really well to end this season. Maybe that race felt like a training run with Alfred (assuming they train together).

Richardson looked like she'd stopped off in Amsterdam for some brownies before the 100m.

Great run by DAS much better endurance.

Poor conditions and a race she was going to win easily. It makes sense to keep warm and clearly performance was still good given the main event.

Duplantis has just stopped in the pole vault instead of trying for more so another not enjoying conditions I guess.
