Gemilli did well there.
London 2012 - Track & Field/Athletics
- Thread starter Donaldo
- Start date
Actually a hamstring or groin pull would destroy him. No point in exerting yourself if the win is already in the bag.
Gemili snatched third then, have to see if he is one of quickest losers. If not great effort.
Yeah only 18 and still raw at the edges.
Gatlin, Blake and Bolt all look like they can do faster. Could we see three people all beating the previous WR? 
You guys could be right on Gatlin. The fecker's 30 and a time like that? Unreal!
Nice kid Gemili. Not bad for someone who has only been running seriously for about 12 months.
I think it's mind games more than anything.
Mo Farrah getting his medal.
The two jamaicans seem to be on another level.The way they just cut their effort in the last few meters (specially Bolt) is so impressive
Only focused properly on it since January.
Was Blake limping coming off? He seemed to trip over Gay's foot.
Hope he can make more progress.
Has the best young sprinter recently world commit himself to running for Britain or something? If so we could have some real contenders in the next few Olympics.
Think someone cut him up after they'd finished.
What a reception.
Just don't trust someone that's been caught cheating not once, but twice. Would be bad for the sport if he won.
Fantastic watching Mo get his medal. What a guy.
you have a point, he has been caught twice but got away with one,if I remember rightly.
I think once a drug cheat always a drug cheat and you should be banned for life, harsh maybe but that's my thoughts.

That's why I can't understand them doing it. If caught, they are never trusted again. Every performance is scrutinized.
Denise Lewis
Nice arse.
Denise Lewis
That was hilarious. Just shows they are fans like the rest of us.
I hope Gatlin won't even win the Bronze medal.
Now talking to Louis Smith and Max Whitlock. Great result for them. Louis thought he could have won, but is taken it well.
Could be the first Olympic 100m final to have all finalists finish under 10 seconds.
Bolt should win. 9.64.
What shoes are the 1500m runners wearing? They're all the same model!
Sale on in the athletes village I think.
Casting aspersions on the Algerian?
Is Steve Cram insinuating this 1500m result is dodgy?
Casting aspersions on the Algerian?
You heard what I heard.
Well our triple jumper definitely doesn't have Jessica Ennis's looks.
She looks ancient.
I suppose, though, he's pobably seen this guy for his whole career and knows what he's been capable of before.
Still, it's funny that none of the Brits who have smashed world records (especially the women cyclists who broke the WR in every race) are ever mentioned
nice pic
We're a bit shit at 1500m

Yes, but quite often we are breaking our own WR. As you say it is when the performance is out of the ordinary. If we were terrible cyclists and then all of a sudden we are world beaters, there would be suspicions.
Which is such a shame when you look at our previous attempts in days gone by.

What time is the finals for the 100m?
