Field-a-Team: Tokyo final standings

There are joint bronze medallists: long-time leader Cussen4 and TeamAA finish on 160 points.

AllInTheGame jumped from 7th to 2nd after the Decathlon to finish on 162 points.

But from the depths of hell came Marley-CR to snatch victory on 164 points.

TrackAthletes.ie @trackathletesie.bsky.social · Sep 21

This is a reminder of the final Field-a-Team: Tokyo scores with just the Decathlon to add.

Skotheim is gone from the comp after a DQ in the hurdles and Victor, Kopesky and Tilga failed to clear a height in the PV.

Cian McPhillips has qualified for the World 800m final, shattered his personal best, and broken the Irish record, as he won his semi-final in 1:43.18. No joy for Mark English who finished 3rd in this semi-final, just behind two medallists from last year's Olympic Games.

Same two at the top today, as Team AA jumps from 6th to 3rd following the addition of the men's 1500m and men's long jump scores.
