Gatlin is 16/1 right now.
Gemilli did well there.
He was in Chelsea's youth team for about 5 years. Great to see him doing well.

It'll be in the 9.7s. I'd be surprised if it was anything less.
Did anyone see that Micheal Johnston programme on why black men dominate the sprinting? I thought it was fascinating, I always wondered why white men were crap at it.
Something to do with better muscle fibres and such isn't it?

Don't you think it's a bit sad how we seem to be satisfied with the majority of our runners just getting to the semi-finals?

Not really, we're not known for our athletes on the track.
Not having a good day on the track so far for teamgb.

We seem to lack stamina in the last half of races. Just watched a 400m heat. Conrad Williams was in touch then tied up in the run in.
Crowd is very subdued tonight.

Yeah the lack of endurance at the end seems to be our thing, we seem to be getting better but it'll take some time to start getting people competing for medals.

We were winning stuff yesterday, tonight they are seeing our runners not progressing. It has brought them back down to earth. They will liven up for the 100m.

Same attitude from the commentators in the swimming when they kept finishing 5/6th. I thought it was poor.

You wonder how it could affect the funding for swimming. It has been a really poor performance from the swimmers.
Big race for Oscar.

The reason we are "satisfied" is that there is visible improvement, all the time. It shows that we are going in the right direction.

Enjoyed that from James exchanging bibs with Pistorius.

I can't get over how damn nice all these athletes are. Lovely stuff.

They won't be so fond of Oscar if his blades get good enough to beat them.

They usually are. It seems to be the 100m runners that have their big rivalries and issues.

Kirani James representing Grenada. The island of my heritage has never won an Olympic medal. He can surely change that.

They are the most famous, richest and get the most adulation, it gives them big egos, much like footballers.

He could beat everyone if he used springy blades, but he's not allowed to.
