Eugene. The World Cup final at Thobia Montler ended in failure.
But a lot of other things happened during the night Swedish time. Or how about tears, the purple show, and the Japanese crisis.
United States of America! United States of America! United States of America!
It was a ceremonial show for the American enemy on the second day of the World Cup. In the 100-meter final, the United States booked four places out of eight, and when the dust faded after 9.86 seconds, Fred Curley was world champion, two hundred ahead of compatriots Marvin Brassey and Trayvon Bromell.
– We said we’d do it and we did, USA baby! , as summed up by Fred Curley at home in front of a triumphant home crowd.

What happened to Olympic champion Marcel Jacobs after that?
He never even started in the semi-finals of the 100-meter sprint.
The Italian Athletics Federation wrote in a statement that the cause was a feeling in the right thigh that increases the risk of serious injury.
Jacobs is said to have had an ultrasound where they saw no muscle tear but a slight muscle cramp.
A painful choice but I have to make it, he says on Twitter.
went on ways
The United States was not satisfied with gold. In women’s football, Chase Ealy opened with 20.49 on his first shot in the entire competition. A result that no one else can match.
Sweden’s representatives in the final had to accept three shocks.
Fanny Ross finished 11th at 18.27, and Axelina Johansson struggled to recharge after her qualifying efforts and stayed at 17.60.
– I’m so happy, I didn’t think I’d go to the final. I’m so glad I pressed and went to the final. Of course, I wanted to move on but I was discharged, Axelina Johansson tells TT.
Hanna did not join
Hanna Hermansson reached the semi-finals with a personal record in trials. Once there, it became very difficult to keep up. The Swede was parked far behind in the field and when the pace picked up she couldn’t answer. Despite this, she came in with a time of 4.06.70, her second best ever.
– There were no growths in the legs, yesterday there were mental discharge. I got a bit passive with 600m remaining. It was approved but I wanted more, she says and says:
– I have a new level, I know I have faster races in my legs, so you are a little frustrated that you don’t venture when I get such good resistance.
Sparkling purple screen!
He also started working on the women’s 100m race. The trials did not provide any preferred prime cases. However, we did get some great test temperatures.
Most impressive is Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce who already turned off the engines at 60m but kept sprinting at 10.87.
– I just tried to qualify as easily as possible, she says.
However, the question is whether time or poetry has attracted the most attention. This heroism is the color violet applied to the hair that will soon become like a “pocket rocket”.
– I like to dye my hair. When you’re in a big tournament, you want something to do and dyeing your hair is one of those things. This year it turned purple, she says.
However, Fraser Price wasn’t the fastest, it was unexpectedly Dina Asher Smith. The Brits had a slow start to the season but they seem to have penetrated form perfectly. The number 10.84 (with more effort obviously) was only one hundredth from her national record.
night tears
We also found the saddest female athlete of the night in the women’s 1500 semi-finals. Ugandan Winnie Nanyundu chased after one last point in the riots – when she fell. She wept uncontrollably from both the pain and disappointment on the track and then continued relentlessly all the way through the mixed area where her compatriot Ronald Musagala had to lead her off the track.
covid-chris in japan
Covid-19 continues to be a cloud of unrest in Eugene. It was announced overnight that seven men had been removed from the Japanese marathon team the day before the men’s race. Two active players, the captain of the national team and four others on the team, have contracted COVID-19 and are now isolated from others at the World Cup Stadium.
