Why are there 9 lanes and not using lane 1?

I think I remember hearing they don’t use lane 1 for the hurdles as you can’t see the first one round the corner in that lane.

I fucking knew an American would snatch it at the end, but was still surprised by that!

He absolutely caned it down that final 100m.
That was mad.

Seemed like Hudson-Smith pulled a muscle in the last bend, but didn't seem to show any kind of pain in his face during or afterwards. Not sure what happened.

The second week in particular has been really disappointing, and about 6 of our silver medals have been by fractions from gold.
Maybe we didn't buy enough lottery tickets.

He tightened right up in the last 20. But ridiculous times, he must feel aggrieved but he has to be proud of that time

That looked awful, the way he stayed down was a shock too.

My missus just rewound and watched him fall about 6 times over.

What’s weird there is he was running at the same pace as everyone else, all just slightly tying up but still moving… and then Leroy Fucking Jenkins comes flying through them all.

Really feel for Hudson-Smith, seemed distraught with family & friends- hard to watch
We were yelling at the telly, but the American fella had such a strong finish, there was no answer; a bit like last nights 1500m
Damn

Hudson-Smith was very unlucky, as the BBC points out his time was the fifth fastest in history, unfortunately the fourth fastest was in the same race.
