both Sharp and Henderson at -1. Henderson just started though, I believe she's in the last group to tee off.
The golf coverage is better this time. Good graphics and the leaderboard is updated. Learned lessons from last week.

Only down the stretch. The corners only have 8 lanes.

Is there still much of a chance for Warner to catch Eaton or are we hoping for silver at this point? (does Warner still have an event that he is dominant in or is there an event Eaton isn't the greatest at)

No more events that Warner dominates in. Eaton is better then Warner at all the other events, especially the 1,500m.

Just looking at their personal bests in each event (according to Wikipedia):
Pole Vault:
Eaton 5.40m
Warner 4.90m
Javelin:
Eaton 66.64m
Warner 64.67m
1500m:
Eaton 4:14.48
Warner 4:24.73
So, I'm guessing we're looking for a silver. Only real chance at gold would be Eaton faulting on every throw in javelin or tripping in the 1500m. But, you never know!

Erica Wiebe just won her quarterfinal in the women's 75kg wrestling. Not sure what time her semi-final will be. Looks like another 6 matches on the schedule before that one.

How do we compare to the bronze guy in these same events?

Warner sucked at the discuss throw. His PB for discuss was 50.26 and he only scored 44.93. He could have made up some major ground on Eaton there. Dammit!

Because I'm so nice:
Pole Vault:
Eaton 5.40m
Mayer 5.35m
Kazmirek 5.20m
Warner 4.90m
Javelin:
Eaton 66.64m
Mayer 66.09m
Warner 64.67m
Kazmirek 59.39m
1500m:
Eaton 4:14.48
Mayer 4:18.04
Warner 4:24.73
Kazmirek 4:33.78
If Mayer is near his bests we'll be hard pressed to hold him off for silver.

So, I just read that the USA women's 4x100m will get to run again. Canada and China have the exact same time, so if the USA beat them, then Canada and China will also have to run again to qualify. This is bizarre.

Don't they go to the next decimal place to figure out who beat who? Why doesn't this apply to Canada and China? Of course the USA will beat both their times..

Erica Wiebe is in the gold medal match for the Women's 75kg Freestyle wrestling! It's the last match of the day, so not sure on the start time. If somebody is watching coverage on TV, hopefully they'll say. I'm just following the results online.
