They're about equal at long jump. Javelin is huge.

“Thrown away”.Was Thaim's jump 50 points better?
That's Hall's chances all but done. All about the big two now.

You just know that she’d be filth in la chambre.

No, she barely closed the gap. But figuratively speaking, a 40-point gap is neck and neck after event 5.
Their bests in the two events to come...

Lyles' bid for Olympic sprint double wrecked by Covid - https://www.bbc.com/sport/olympics/articles/c3w6qpgezz5o
The narrative seems to be that he would definitely have won without Covid - seems a bit disrespectful towards Tebogo and Bednarek, for a start.

Thanks. I couldn't find anywhere online to keep track of it. It sounded like they had roughly the same result, so I assumed KJT was ahead. She needs a monster throw for gold. Thaim will run the 800 fairly well.
Ok. I wouldn't be surprised if gold is decided by as little as 45 though.
Well you're a kill joy
I'd just looked it up myself, so thought I'd share!

If both throw something like their season’s bestsin the javelin, Thiam will take a lead of around 90 points into the 800m. That equates to about 6s. To visualise, that would be a distance on about 35-40m behind.
It’s certainly possible but would need the run of her career.
Javelin time.
44.64 for KJT
Such a bonus to get a good marker safely down. Now she can really go at the next two, without over worrying about the prospect of fouls.

Difficult to imagine Thaim not getting gold again. KJT needs the throw of her career
From the Betfair market, Thiam's probability of winning is currently just over 70%.

Nice throw there. Puts Thiam under pressure to get a decent throw in.
