jackson was just 0.07 off the world record. neita clocked a personal best. and while she was two places below, asher smith still felt positive after the race. sometimes when life hands you lemons you ve got to make lemonade. i m looking forward to paris next year and really motivated because i know when i am at my best, i am among the medals and up there, that is where i m at. just done the best with the cards i ve been dealt this week. 800 metres final. gemma reekie won her semifinal and she ll be joined by medal hope keeley hodgkinson, who also came first in her semi despite a late surge by the usa s nia akins. hodgkinson realised just in time the final is one of the last events of the championships tomorrow night. tonight there s a chance for a medal in the men s and women s 4 x 100 metres relays. both teams sealed their spots in their respective finals later.
For the first time as a pro, Athing Mu didn't cross the finish line first in an 800 tonight but she still impressed us greatly. All 3 Americans will be in the final as well Moraa, Hodgkinson and Reekie.
