This is the place where Reynier Mena ran that absurd 19.63 time a couple of years ago where his previous best was 20.04. He's only barely broken 20 seconds a couple of times since.

FEMKE IS NOT WINNING IN PARIS. HOPE AND PRAY ALL YOU WANT, ITS NOT HAPPENING.
SML is definitely the favourite but if Femke Bol narrows the gap which appears to be the case then that can only make the matchup better. Sydney makes one mistake e.g. crashing into a hurdle then Femke wins. Not out of the question.
