Last 200m heat in heptathlon.

Wow, Ennis and Schippers share the win with 22,83. That should put her back in the lead and she's ahead of her record series.

Zelinka came 3rd in the heat, so she's now 3rd place in the overall standings.

This looks odd, 3 Japanese and an Irish lass ahead of all the Africans...

Tomas Majewski wins gold by one centimeter.

Edit: improved his best by 2 in the final round.

It never ceases to amaze me seeing how well Africans do in distance running.

It's incredible how long some of the track and field records have lasted as opposed to the swimming ones.

Long jump in the hep. underway as well as men's 400 m heats. Oscar Pistorius (the one with the prosthetics) made it through, finishing second in his heat.

Dobrynska leaving it to the last jump again.

Whoa, I did not know that her coach/husband died of cancer earlier this year.

Lashawn Merritt, defending Olympic champion, can't finish the race, clearly injured.

Dobrynska fluffs her 3rd attempt, she's out of the gold battle. Meanwhile Ennis improves to 648. Javelin's her weakness, that will be the decider.

Hopefully Perkovic (discus thrower) wins the 1st gold for Croatia in London today.

Isinbayeva "barely" clears 450, about meter between her and the bar.

What the hell is St. Kitts and Nevins doing, pulling Kim Collins out of 100 m for staying at a hotel with his wife and kids?

Collins on twitter:

Quote:
6 athletes and 9 officials. That ain't enough to make some people happy. Omg.

Even men in prison get their wives to visit.

For those who saw me run in Mexico. That's the last time I represent my country.

Javelin underway in heptathlon.
