Thanks. I was going to make that calculation myself for 5 thousandth of a second separation between Lyles and Thompson.
Interestingly, swimming events only time to hundredths of a second, and ties share the medal. The reason is that in swimming the architecture of the pool walls plus the variation in the pressure needed to trigger the touchpads would make it unfair to say who was actually first. Track races also only give official results to hundredths, but high resolution photos of the finish are the determining factor.
I watched the semi finals and all they were talking about Kerr and Ingebrigsten's rivalry and who would come out on top. I guess neither of them. 🤣
Harlan and Ian Eagle are the best in the business at the moment. I love Harlans calls particularly the radio broadcasts.
Dutch woman Bol has fastest time this year & less than half second off SML's record time. She could make it interesting for the first time in a while.What I think of when Sydney is running her hurdle events....
Quincy Hall (USA) just came from behind to win Gold in men's 400m. 🇺🇲
Wow!
Wow!
Awesome race. Thought he was out of it but he never quit. Great race!
I only saw the replay and dude looked like he was struggling so much but still passed everyone. Just had unusual body language. Might be how he always runs and it's just the first time I've seen him. Looked about out of gas at the end.
