- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Whar happens if both clear? They increase it? Then bring it down if neither clear? Till only one clear a height..
Correct!
Blame the organisers. I would have them jumping within a minute of each other until the end.
The 3rd American ate opposition
@JPRouve is gold in the 102+kg a foregone conclusion again?
Also I just saw that Nasar was only 2kg short of the winner in the 102kg category

Oooo that was close. Tebogo almost caught up.
Insane 4x400
Great race
Gonna have to see those split times, that was an insane effort from Tebogo and Botswana.
Ray Benjamin with two golds
USA lost gold in high jump
Finally its over. Hamish wins gold!
Dumb 'murrican 
At least a silver !
Hamish definitely looked like he was willing to share too.Dumb 'murrican
He’s a caf poster who has been reading Samid’s posts and got carried awayDumb 'murrican
At least he won silver as a red blooded American rather than sharing gold like a pinko commie European
Imagine if USA lose the medal count to China by one gold now
So after this woman’s 4x400 it could be 37-37 for golds between the US and China? (If the US win of course). What is the medal outlook for both for the rest of the evening?
Can we switch back to the females instead of this twat please?
Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees
Honestly, don't get how China are even up there given their total lack of showing on the Athletics table.... did they just give up on track and field with Liu Xiang injury in Beijing breaking all hearts?
Who
Oof.
I guess we will have to console ourselves with our 30ish more medals
(I’ve never understood why any position in the medal table is based on golds and not total medals)
If Talakhadze doesn't win then it's the biggest upset ever. And Liu Huanhu is naturally a 89kg lifter both Nasar and Gigachad could or should be in the same category but China made the later go to an heavier category to give room for Tian Tao and Li Dayin.
BBS saying Hudson Smith ran 43 seconds dead. Only Johnson ran faster.
Didn’t see it live but if true, that’s nippy.
Come on the women (no euphemism)

These 400m athletes running out reminds me of Crystal Maze... equally cringe too
China have gold in the artistic swimming.
Let's go, Mawdsley! I mean, let's go Ireland!
Quite simple really - do you think a country with 0 golds and 20 bronzes should rank higher than a country with 19 golds and 0 bronzes?
An argument could be made for a points system though, but tbf there isn't an official medal competition between countries at the Olympics anyway.
That's an insane time and it certainly didn't look like it as he didn't make up ground it seems, but obviously the camera isn't showing the gap he's generated to guarantee third, which I think he did without the France and others fumbling at the end.
He's got quite a funky style too, yet seems so smooth despite that. Very Johnson-esque.
Should a country with 1 gold and 0 silver rank higher than a country with 0 gold and 100 silvers?
The argument to absurdity can work both ways..
Jeez what a lead by the US
American women are so dominant
If what I heard today is correct. During one of the Olympics China had more medals and the USA said that gold medals should be the real barometer.
Ireland?!
Bol to come??
Bol to come??
Fecking hell Americans
US could lap the rest on the final round
