championships

tomorrow night the runners of the second stage await nervous to take your position here we go it's a long and lonely this leg canara hayes has come out well so quinara hayes netherlands is running the good leg right now in lane five that's before on the leg lead for them, hayes is now starting to close in on zoe clark, netherlands, he is still running well and this is good running here. by hayes the aussie overseas ruby ​​but the american is in the lead good race at the end of this stage by zoe clark she holds him up as the australian ruby ​​starts to get tired and hayes is starting to get tired so it's the americans with Great Britain and Australia on the outside, oh, and what a pity, after an excellent stage of advantage for the Netherlands, they dropped the baton and were up there in the race, but when they broke the back straight, it is the Americans who They have a considerable advantage, well, athletes now cut. after the first leg on the streets quinera hayes the number two in the

world

this year under 50 seconds and the setters come together wonderfully well kendall ellis has a lead of about eight or nine meters at the moment the teams are fighting australia is falling back a bit after that Good initial stretch from Ruby, but larvae from Great Britain and Northern Ireland and Nielsen track the American.

This is a good race. The athletes are now in position for the third leg. They get them into position at the 200 meter mark where their runner is and they are. not allowed to move and the americans lead britain in second place so it's weak for the united states perry shakes drayton, a talented 400m hurdler before a knee injury ruined that element of his race but look at wembley he has a lead of about 20 meters or so botswana is running very well morocco in the third leg for them trying to close the gap the australians just pull back a bit but this is good running here wembley will go to natasha hastings will be shaken right to emily diamond the botswanians Well they have a monster of a mantle in the last stretch and the canadians have outclassed Jones very well against McDonald so it's the Americans with Hastings miles behind here, Diamond in second place for Britain and a real enthusiasm for that automatic third place, the Americans.

They've been very, very impressive here, Moncho will love to hold on to third place, but it could get tricky with the United States bursting into that top corner and what a race from Tiara, the French woman, to try and get them back into the mix, so that the USA surpasses Emily Diamond in second place, Botswana, third and Canada in France fighting for fourth place. Remember there are two fastest loser positions, the Americans take 3 21. Diamond meets the second monster, third for Botswana and what a race by the French. who I think could very well have made it to fourth place, will have to wait to see if they overtake their fastest losers.

Very, very impressive from the Americans, there was no problem getting to the final. Well, I wouldn't say they barely broke a sweat. but it seemed like they were running within themselves, such is the depth that the Americans have, they can bring up names that many people in

world

athletics

may not even have heard of without being disrespectful, they have such depth that it really was wonderful . team and let's not forget that there was no phyllis francis on that team, the 400 meter individual champion and we didn't call alison felix, we saw her in the heat of the four for one, but you can bring her, of course, an individual medalist in The 400, If you want, they were also controlled, that's why they won the world title seven times.

The United States knows what they do in four-by-four relays, but it's also good for the British team. 324.74 seconds for them, they were clear. in seconds, as well as in the pit, just like the Americans were in front, you will never catch up with Natasha Hastings, one of the fastest athletes in the world this year, yes there will be fast divisions for them, only a notable one for the British team . lavia nielsen ran brilliantly in the second leg she did a leg of 50.7 it was as planned in the first heat then in the women's four by 400 meter relay natasha hastings easy as you want we stayed and waited to see how they make up their team for the final only one point In them Wimbley also ran a third leg 49-2.

She looked great as she ran down the backstretch, so she wears it. Ah, now let's take another look at the end of the first leg because Kefur, as we watch Hastings, just crossed the line very. very convenient for the united states the fastest losers by the way are the french and the australians this is geforce in the center of your photo and what a shame kefer for lisanne dewitt well the cane slipped out of geforce's hand and she had run a fabulous first leg to put the Dutch quartet right in the hunt for one of the four automatic places, yes that was terribly disappointing, she was almost so tired that she dropped it without passing it, so it's a shame for the Dutch team, but having said That great race of the American team, they thrive in the 4x4 because they have such a good collegiate system, they run so many relays there and the strength, as Cath said, in winning so many world championships is based on that disappointment for the Canadians, it is They faded a little.

Actually a bit with Macdonald in the last leg, so it's France and Australia who occupy the fastest loser places at the moment, but remember, of course, we still have another tie coming up, but that was good of them of the Americans and, as Catherine said, the quartet could potentially improve even more with the changes before tomorrow night's final, it is just an event in which they have been so dominant since the conception of the world championships, athletes from world class that can give left, right and center a world advantage to themselves, but not us. Read a lot about that because as Steve said before, they don't do relays very often several times during the year, four for one, four for four, best of the season for the British team, Botswana national record, so don't So far, very good, a lot of excitement.

In the relays the world championship really ends wonderfully well, isn't that a good classification for the Americans, although the confirmation that the United States with that world leading time seems very comfortable, good race by the British and Botswana, a national record Will France and Australia have to wait? and i see a good finish from the australians, the canadians are out, so heat number two, the women's four by 400 meter relay, a full complement in the usual lanes two to nine, jamaica, so no five, any impact on the green will automatically pass. look how the jamaicans do in this second series three individual finalists in the 400 meters jamaica one of them is part of the team in this series potentially williams mills and jackson will enter so poland will start in lane number nine and put them in the lead and will take them home name on leg number three for the italians in lane stick the straw bahamas amateur clark and dorset is a decent team that for the bahamas in lane number six lane five jamaica leroy mccochl will be gordon and macpherson mcpherson sixth in the 400m individual talent like me say bring as you navigate the qualifying lanes South Africa South Africa nella nell on throws three and four and don't shout then potentially bring in Caster Samanya if you get to this final lane number three Germany will be the champion in 1997.

Rusev will take them out laura muller will bring them home elaine number two nigeria george nathaniel egwin and ajayi classification the first three and the next two non-automatic qualifiers will go to the final nigeria germany south africa jamaica bahamas italy ukraine and poland okay, so a clean start and a nice roar from the crowd as the athletes get up and run pretty evenly around the first turn, the mighty south african going well down the backstretch in lane number four while their criminal ukrainian in lane number eight , george from nigeria has pulled back the wobble of the german outsider also in lane number two, so around the top bend the longest leg in a relay of four by four hundred meters because all the athletes running on the polish lanes are outside and Hollywood is doing well, but right now it's the Jamaican.

Anastasia Leroy in lane number five, so we are attentive to the first transfer. Who is going to change the baton first? Poland is doing well, Italy is also doing well inside, although Nigeria had a wonderful turnaround and Neil is going to run well. There it is Nigeria who is going to fall in the last stretch while they lead the second series. neal has a great chance because patience george ran a good early stage for them so it's nigeria from jamaica and the germans in third with poland who had a cracked opening leg with gap, is trying to close out the italians and the ukrainians right in fifth place by the time they're starting to queue so it's still mclaughlin, oh look how tired they are at the finish line so now it's jamaica passing ahead. a tired nigeria germany in third place but look at poland in fourth place they are close jamaica nigeria germany italy poland and the jamaicans are moving away here chris and gordon on the back stretch esmeralda egwin for nigeria she is the runner of the third leg for them remember the first three guaranteed place in the final, the Jamaicans have a small advantage here, but from second to fifth place it will be an absolute battle as they are going to turn around, the athletes are in position for the fourth leg which will take place at the point of 200 meters from Jamaica. it's a good stage here for gordon, he will hand stephanie anne mcpherson the 400m individual finalist, so there is no change in position as they move into the final stage jamaica nigeria germany poland has moved up one place to fourth and in the final stage for jamaica mcpherson barring injury no one will be able to catch up with the jamaicans in this tie, they are gone but the battle is behind them can the polish athlete in the final stretch igor baumgardt return to an automatic qualification spot ajaying for nigeria in second place for Germany in third place and The Polish athlete Baumgart is loading here only the first three remember that no one wants to leave him in a non-automatic qualification place, but Jamaica and Macpherson left the Nigerian Aegean.

Well, she had a little outburst and Germany is. There is going to be a battle between Germany and Poland for the third automatic qualifying spot, but they are holding on to Jamaica, Nigeria and Germany. Well, what a good second here after the women's four by four, but barely breaking a sweat is the Jamaican stephanie ann mcpherson, her teammate put her in a wonderful position that is so nice when the three athletes preceding you in a four by four do great job she just bought the baton home and jamaica well the athletes will potentially bring in steve as i mentioned williams mills sharika jackson that's the americans again looking very very strong it's their time for the jamaicans a very very series rare of divisionsafter leroy opened from the beginning 51-52 50.7 for mclaughlin will be 50.7 for gordon 50.7 for mcpherson, I think the Jamaicans did exactly what we expected of them, really so easy.

Behind there was a small battle in Nigeria, who came in second place with Germany, Poland was finishing fast, but in the end I think they almost stayed in the same positions for almost the entire last stretch, well, Jamaica versus the United States, look at the moment , It is not like this? As you say, both teams can bring additional women if they wish, so we will have to wait and see the final format of those teams to reach that final, well we will just confirm who will be the fastest losers. poland and france so that great run on that baumgard anchor leg wasn't in vain she closed the german mullet so although she didn't get an automatic place they will go by as fast as losers and there was disappointment we saw one of the athletes from the Bahamas I thought at that moment that it was an athlete who had just finished running a stage, in fact, it was the athlete in the second stage from the Bahamas, which was Christine Amital crashing to the ground and being left lying around the starting point. 200 meters, that's why The Bahamians weren't in the mix in the third and fourth game, there are fans, let's see what happens here trying to get on the shoulder. of the South African, oh, it was a really very hard fall, what a shame and The Bahamas' ambitions for the final were over at that point, but what an impressive ranking you have mcpherson in the anchor leg and, as you said, catherine novellene williams mills and How nice it would be for Williams Mills to compete knowing that she had breast cancer mom in this stadium five years ago.

The Jamaicans won an Olympic medal and then she had surgery. It would be a nice story if they added her to the team they have. A shame for Richie, that's for sure, meanwhile the decathlon discus moves towards the second round near Helsinki, it started with a no-shot, oh that's almost reaching the 45 meter line, a little before that , so a relief for control, following in the footsteps of such distinguished competitors. in the czech republic decathlon like several and dvorak now has a team that has a personal best of 47-12 getting a very decent shot in star wars so good points for him no wonder he can celebrate that he started with a no shot and now 44-71 so we are still in the second round, now we can go back to the Estonian guy who really messed up with his first shot under 40 meters, this looks better, he is still wobbly, for of course, but no, he is above 40, so oig lane recovery is not one of his best disciplines with a personal best of 44-62 and not very high for that, just a couple of meters away.

Big promise from this man that the puck is an event he will need to fully attempt. improve over the years 42 11. I'm just celebrating there with compatriot Marcel Weibo, so confirmation of that second heat of the women's four by four hundred meter relay jamaica, nigeria and germany automatically through jamaica, the defending champions They will have to fight once again. like they did two years ago with the United States, but good confirmation, good classification for them, this is how the final will be lined up, as I said, it will be the penultimate race of the

2017

championship, the Americans will start as favorites, but the question is which one. world class athletes that the jamaicans will choose for that final in britain well they would bring down the house if they managed to get on the podium again only one medal for the host nation so far no farah in the 10,000 meters he goes of course later in five o'clock
