Whupped his ass!
Rio Olympics 2016
- Thread starter LuisNaniencia
- Start date
They've hyped this Super Saturday/Sunday for golds in the athletics so much I have a terrible feeling it's all going to go pear-shaped.
Love the way Team GB do cock all in the years between Olympics like they are sandbagging and then smash it
Phenomenal team. Phenomenal coaching. And the work done in terms of marginal gains is incredible

Bit too powerful for me. Laura Trott nearly burst my ear drums with her shrill tones.
It's great! Loved it it when Hoy said the men'cyclists had won jack shit since London, but when they nailed a WR in qualifying, all the other teams' coaches heads dropped.
It's like Christine Ohorugou (sp?). She's injured for four years then smashes it.
This is what it's all about, they've become really clinical in that respect. Even seeing the boat for the mens 8's rowing Pinsent was able to point out a marginal gain modification, albeit him being somewhat underwhelmed by the feature / concept.
I think Mo Farah is a dead-on favourite. Rutherford is an outside shot to be honest in the long jump if recent form is anything to go by and the belgian lass could cause Jess Ennis Hill some problems.
The hepathlon should be class
Apparently the 1st place lass is 4m better at Javelin, but 10s slower at 800m - which makes Ennis the favourite still
first ever gold medal for Puerto Rico
Puig wins gold in the women's tennis.
I think Ennis should be favourite but largely because she has the experience and know how. The PB for her kind of goes out the window as I'm not sure how much of an impact pregnancy has had on her performances. I did hear she likes references to her PB's to be the ones that are post-pregnancy.
And that's a first ever gold for Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico . . .
You ugly island . . .
Island of tropic diseases.
Always the hurricanes blowing,
Always the population growing . . .
And the money owing,
And the babies crying,
And the bullets flying.
I like the island Manhattan.
Smoke on your pipe and put that in!
I guess the Puerto Rican tourist board turned down your job application then.
Sadly. My old man loved West Side Story.
again that looks like a very disappointing crowd.
Reckon Thiam has the heptathlon in the bag, phenomenal performance from her so far.
Thompson is blowing this
What is KJT doing? Eep
KJT 
A huge turning point in sport was when China deconstructed how to design a world champion athletes and created them ready for the 2008 Beijing games.
GB is already an advanced stage in terms of sports culture, infrastructure and participation. So this is where they have cracked the code, evidenced by the silver:bronze ratio from London and Rio so far.
KJT
Annoying as she is so cute! So small and light limbed and fragile, it seems impossible she can be such an amazing all round athlete.
If she put on more arm and body muscle, would that slow down her running speed?
She reminds me of CBJ for some reason.
Maybe just the BJ bit.

Some bikini beach volleyball is on if anyone is interested
KJT needs to be mentally tougher. Her technique just doesn't look right with a javelin. She's got to go with speed and just lash it forward. Give it some momentum.
Got a haunted look in her eyes at the moment.

kjt always looks like she's been crying
Feel bad for KJT, the commentators seem to be being a bit harsh on her.
KJT looks physically gaunt and tired. I feel bad for her right now, I know she's living her dream, but she looks pretty broken at the moment.
big shadows under her eyes .... lacking sleep.
KJT's heads gone. Can't throw a javelin but she's certainly throwing her medal hopes away.
KJT has to improve her Javelin if she is to ever win a medal
If Backley says she's thrown in the region she's been throwing all year then I don't think her head's gone, she's clearly worried and not prepared very well however and it's something she's going have to work on going forward.
Ah damn, terrible third throw.
That was KTJ throwing her medal way with last Javelin throw. Sad for her.
Kirani James won't be stopped in the 400
poor Javelin for KJT ,but her best throw is only 1 meter short of her best this season, but it has harmed her chances of that Bronze.
...and crying
it was the long jump in London.
I think she good at all of them, just under extreme competitive situations, she mentally breaks down in one or another event.
Yeah, looks quite simple for him
Long Jump being in five, then Mo in three-quarters of an hour.
Backley was just commenting that her javelin has been at that distance all season.
