After jumping PB in the highjump. Devastating. I thought that this could be our first medal since Busemann.Yeah, he pulled up during the 400 m and was wheelchaired out.

Though he had a habit of breaking the world record in teeny tiny increments.There is Bubka and 35 world records.
Yeah, at the meetings because there would be a bonus. Many athletes do that. Bubka made it into an art.Though he had a habit of breaking the world record in teeny tiny increments.
If De Grasses time was a few hundreds of a second faster, he could have claimed a faster average speed than Jacobs result in the 100M.
If that happened, I would have loved for someone to ask Donovan Bailey if he thinks Andre De Grasse has earned the world's fastest man title.
Jacobs starts his 100m from a standstill while De Grasse gets to run into his 2nd 100, you can't make a fair comparison like that, especially after Jacobs beat De Grasse head to head. However, I loved that whole Donovan Bailey / Michael Johnson challenge in the late 90s, can only imagine how social media would have magnified that drama if it was around especially after Johnson pulled up.
And yes, I could totally picture Donovan tap dancing around everything he said in the 90s to be on Andre's side haha.
It seems like they always screw up the baton hand offs.USA 4x100 Men's Relay fails to reach the final.

One of, if not THE coolest exhibitions i have ever witnessed.Jacobs starts his 100m from a standstill while De Grasse gets to run into his 2nd 100, you can't make a fair comparison like that, especially after Jacobs beat De Grasse head to head.

Warner with +9,000 points, what a terrific performance.
Once Warner basically hit results in 100M and Long Jump that would have gotten him pretty far in those individual events (I think his long jump would have earned a bronze if I recall correctly), it was pretty much his to lose.
Yeah, he was definitely in the driver's seat.
Still a lot of nerves around events with 3 attempts.
That's what I was checking each day. Did he put some points on the board? Good. Next.
The fact he was continually putting up personal or seasons best didn't hurt.

I think if Jacobs and De Grasse ran a head to head 100M 10 times in the next month - De Grasse beats him at least 7-8x out of 10. I think he's a better sprinter, and is faster. But it doesn't really matter - Jacobs performed better on the biggest stage of them all and deserves that title.
De Grasse has always had issues with his starts.
