Athletics, Paris Olympics 2024 Highlights, August 5: Duplantis takes gold with a new world record, Sable enters 3000m SC final

That’ll be it from the Stade de France. Thank you for being with us. We will be back tomorrow with more action from the Olympics.

After an extended victory march, he rings the ceremonial bell at the track.

NEVER IN DOUBT! He has done it. THE MAN. THE MYTH. THE LEGEND. Duplantis clears 6.25 at the biggest stage.

He misses it again. Struck on the shin and the bar dislodges. He will have one final attempt at history.

Kendricks and Karalis egg Duplantis on. That’s the beauty of sport. He does it... oh no... His knee makes contact and the bar comes off. Two more attempts.

Duplantis to try a 6.25, a mark no human has dared to cross.

NEW OLYMPIC RECORD! Duplantis gets a 6.10 to go past Brazil’s Thiago Braz’s (Rio 2016) 6.03.

Keely Hodgkinson will be the favourite to take the gold in 800m women’s final. Tsige Duguma, the world indoor champion, on the inside. The bell has been taken. The stadium is up on its feet as we head towards a thrilling finish. Hodgkinson leads. Mary Moraa tries to come in wide on the outside. HODGKINSON IS THE OLYMPIC CHAMPION! Duguma and Moraa are second and third, respectively.

Kipyegon has been disqualified for obstruction. The mid-race argumet with Tsegay has cost her the silver medal. Sifan takes second place instead and Nadia Battocletti has been promoted to the bronze medal place.

Karalis fails to lodge himself over the bar but he is all-smiles and happy with the bronze medal. Kendricks takes silver and Duplantis will take the gold home.

Feng, who didn’t qualify for Tokyo, will take the silver home despite hitting the same distance as the third-placed Elkasevic. However, the Chinese athlete will take the second place owing to a better second throw. Allman is off on her victory lap after hitting a 69.21m off her final throw.

Steinacker finishes the competition in fourth place. Not a good place to be, but that won’t bother the German, who leaves with a huge smile pasted on her lips.

DUPLANTIIIIIIS! 6.00 cleared. Running out of words now. Karilis and Sam Kendricks both fail to clear the mark.

Time for the final lap. The Kenyans have taken the first three spots now. Faith Kipyegon leads. Beatrice Chebet is second. Sifan Hassan of the Netherlands overtakes Margaret Chelimo Kipkemboi and that would only mean Kenya won’t be taking all the medals home.

Obiena goes out at 5.95. Almost had it off his third attempt. That would mean Karalis has moved into the bronze medal position.

The Ethiopians have taken charge! Ejgayehu Taye and Tsegay have zoomed past the others as we approach 3000m.

Allman, meanwhile, betters her mark to 69.50m. She is 7th on the all-time Olympic finals list now.

Feng and Croatia’s Sandra Elkasevic both hit the 67.51m mark. Crossing Allman’s set mark would, however, require some work.

The Olympic Record is set to fall today. Gudaf Tsegay’s 14:00.21 is the standing world record while the OR is a distant 14:26.17. At the 1000m mark, Tsegay is sixth.

The mark’s set at 5.95. And Duplantis sails clear in his first attempt. Easy as it goes, gentlemen!

Good run from Brittany Brown and Daryll Neita, who qualify for the final. Time to find out who the non-automatic qualifiers are... Jessika Gbai takes one with a personal best of 22.36 and Asher-Smith will take the other one. Parisot will miss out despite registering her career-best time.

Karalis clears 5.90 and almost takes a lap of the area while celebrating wildly. Mondo, nonchalant as ever, has decided to pass 5.90. WHO PASSES A 5.90?

Finally, Allman takes the discus lead with a 68.74m throw. That would do her nerves a lot of good after a ‘No Throw’ in the first attempt.

Gabby Thomas, the fastest this year, and Dina Asher-Smith will run in this heat. Can someone stop them from finishing as the top two? Turns out, they cannot. Gabby takes the Q with a timing of 21.86, one of the fastest times this season. Asher-Smith finishes with 22.31. Helene Parisot from France, with a lifetime-best time of 22.55, will have to wait it out.

Feng Bin lets out a loud roar! The discus soars and swerves in the Parisian air before landing 66.33m away. That will see her take the lead.

Alfred (21.98) and Favour Ofili (22.05, SB) will make the final. Mckenzie, who finished at 22.30, will have to wait and watch.

The first heat is set to begin. Two of the two fastest women in the world this year - McKenzie Long and Julien Alfred - will take up lanes 7 and 8. 

The first two in each heat (Q) and next two fastest (q) advance to the final.

Duplantis re-enters at 5.85 and he pushes off after a solid run-up. Although he clears it easily, he doesn’t look very happy with the effort.

Andre de Grasse and Lyles in the same heat. Lesssggoo! Lyles takes it at 20.19. De Grasse falls off the grid in the latter half, but finishes with a 20.30. That would do. Towa Uzawa gets a look-in with 20.33 as well.

Valarie Allman is all-smiles as her name is announced! Can she defend her Olympic gold?

USA’s Knighton wins this heat with 19.99. Makarawu Tapiwanashe (20.07) and Shaun Maswanganyi (20.20) also get the Q.

Bednarek with a 19.96! The fastest in the heats, thus far. Alexander Ogando (20.04) is second and Joshua Hartmann (20.30) third.

Players from the African nations have outshone their opponents thus far in the 200m heats thus far. But they won’t have a representative in Heat 4. Kenny Bednarek will be featuring in this heat.

Letsile Tobogo, fresh off the podium in 100m, tops his heat to make the Semifinal with a timing of 20.10. Makanakaishe Charamba (20.27) and Filippo Tortu (20.29) complete the top three.

Huang Bokai of China, who missed out on qualifying for Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020, goes clear of the 5.80 mark. Emmanouil Karalis of Greece and Ersu Sasma of Turkiye also clear the mark.

Tarsis Gracious Orogot (20.32) loses his first place only momentarily. But all’s well that ends well. Wanya McCoy of Bahrain (20.35) comes second. Renan Correa (20.41) is third.

Liberia’s Joseph Fahnbulleh (20.20) extends his lead with the longest strides you’ve ever seen. Eseosa Fostine Desalu (20.26) comes second and Wayde van Niekerk (20.42) rounds up the Qs. Ryan Zeze of France (20.49) misses out, much to the crowd’s dismay. He can make it through the Repechage round.

The first round of the men’s 200m goes live at 23:25 IST. There will be six heats in total. The first three in each heat (Q) advance to the semifinal, all others (Re) advance to the Repechage (except DNS, DNF, DQ).

This has been a slower heat compared to the other two.

1000m later, Simon Kiprop Koech is setting the pace. Lamecha Girma and Frederik Rupert are breathing on the Kenyan’s neck.

Feet directly underneath the top hand and Ernest John Obiena, who almost ended up not qualifying for the final, clears 5.70 with considerable ease.

The crowd gets behind local favourite Louis Gilavert, who has stayed in the lead for the first 2 minutes and 40 seconds.

The referee has awarded Amos a free entry into the Final. He had appealed that he was forced to go on the inside, which saw him fumble at the water jump. The Kenyan had the wonderful presence of mind to come around and continue the race instead of stopping in his tracks.

Duplantis enters the contest at 5.70. And, as expected, he will clear the bar without breaking a sweat.

Sable, on the left, realises that he can afford to take it easy. He will be happy to take the fifth place with 8:15.43 and give it his all tomorrow.

There is a huge gap between the first five and the clutter at the back. Sable fights for a top three place as he slips to 4th ahead of the last lap.

Sable’s back to third at around the 5-and-half mark, overtaking Japan’s Ryuji Miura with ease. He may be in with a strong chance to make the final.

Sable drops off with five laps to go. Kibiwot exchanges glances with Ethiopia’s Samuel Firewu, who will be setting the pace now.

Sable looks over his shoulder briefly. He may have lost his pace just a fraction but he stays away from the traffic.

Tomas Habarta has pulled out during the first lap. That has to be an injury. He grabs his thighs and winces in pain.

The second heat is underway. Sable has jumped to the front. Abraham Kibiwot is right behind him. 

Kenya’s Amos Serem, winner of the national trials, finishes sixth after he messes up the water jump to go back around and try again. He won’t make the final tomorrow.

At around 7:09 mark, El Bakkali snatches the lead from Ethiopia’s Getnet Wale. In another minute, he is miles ahead.

Leonard Chemutai of Uganda has taken the lead close to the 6-minute mark. El Bakkali has started to speed up as well. 

Duplantis has passed the 5.50 mark. All the others ahead of him, (1-5) in order, have cleared the mark off their first attempt.

The first five in each heat will advance to the Final tomorrow.

Daniel Arce of Spain takes an early lead. El Bakkali takes it easy as he saunters along in the middle of the pack.

The first heat of 3000m SC gets underway. Sable is a part of the second heat. Defending champion Soufiane El Bakkali, a part of this heat, imitates a roaring tiger when his name is announced.

Duplantis walks out amid raucous cheering. The guy who has vaulted over 6m in excess of 60 times over the last 4-5 years. Nobody comes close.

The Coups de bâtons is underway. The vaulters are being introduced.

Armand Duplantis, the world record holder, will be in action in the men’s pole vault final at 22:30 IST.
