Some of these javelin tosses are pretty brutal... Door is certainly onen for BTE

I'm watching the volleyball game on TV and glancing over at pole vault on my phone...but there's no commentary on the latter so I have no idea what's going on.

Yeah, as much as no commentary can be good sometimes.. it definitely helps when you are watching a sport you don't regularly follow.

This Group B is doing much better than the first group thus far in the Javelin throw.

BTE with a subpar second throw. Really hoping she can miracously beat the 50m mark.

BTE being 3rd after this event is great. Apparently the Belgian girl is a horrible 800m runner so well see

Shawn Barber has missed twice at 5.45m in pole vault qualifying. Only has one more chance
