What happened to Blake? Wasn't he supposed to be Bolts next big challenger, 4 years ago he was close to him.
Rio Olympics 2016
- Thread starter LuisNaniencia
- Start date
I love how the Bahrainis are just helping themselves to random Jamaican sprinters so they can get a medal.
He got caught twice
It's probably his last olympics
Can you prove they're all on it ? In Gatlin's case he was caught and is rightly being criticized for it.
Was just thinking this, the last I remember him he won the 2011 world championships and then went off the boil for some reason
Hamstring injuries
Another dodgy one though. Was he really clean?Linford Christie is still the British record holder for the 100m at 9.87, Bolt just beat that even after easing off
He's definitely lost a step since his run of about 5 years ago when he was neck and neck with Bolt.
Fantastic from Murray. Britain's greatest ever sportsman 
Hope I'm wrong but I fancy Gatlin for the 100

Three legs is definitely cheating.
9.00 to break the world record, after seeing his semi final.
Seem to remember races where they would have 4 or 5 total false starts (not by one runner) before getting the race off. Some of them rumored to be intentional to throw others off their game. Like many rules this one was put in place to stop the abuse.
They had a former-Kenyan in the women's marathon earlier as well.
I think that'll make him more compelled to take the piss a bit. He's already got his world record, winning his final race without even taking it seriously would be an iconic way to go.
This is hilarious. The Qatar volleyball team is filled with Serbs, French and other European players. They give them citizenship and pay them a lot to play for them. Pathetic really. Qatar apparently will revoke their citizenship and are not even going to pay them if they come back without a medal.
To be honest, either would be pretty funny/entertaining/rewarding to see
Talking about drug cheats (never proven) Flo Jo still holds the record for the woman's 100 and 200, which is amazing since it was the same games as Ben Johnson and quite a few men have ran faster
Damn, lots of blood
Would have done that at Beijing if he didn't walk the last 20 meters
BrilliantWatching NBC and no sign of the track & field, especially the 100M final... what gives?
Any US based folk on here know which channel it's on? I see water polo and women's volleyball on at the moment (5:35 PST).
I'm not reading any of the other post on here so I can avoid the result...
Andy Murray casually breaking the little ornament you get given with the medal
And people were laughing at me at work for taking time off work to watch the 100m final. This is Bolt's last Olympics and I expect to see something that will be remembered fpr years in Olympics history.
I am typing this as I am playing with Bolt on Temple Run 2 as well. So hyped.

so, where is the live TV feed of the sprint races? or are they holding it back for the primetime show?
In how much time does the 100 metre starts?
The 100m final isn't for another 40 minutes. Everyone was talking about the semi finals.
No idea...BBC masterrace here. You have my commiserations.
Well done Laura Muir getting in to the 1500, outside chance for a medal
phew! still, I didn't see them either. NBC
35 min
Schedule is for 2.25...don't quote me on that though, blink and you'll miss it.
I love that Bolt is such a massive United fan. Makes me want him to win even more.
Chris Baker is the spitting image of Lucas Digne.
There should be a version of running where you're given a big stick to beat your opponents with. Method of winning would remain the same albeit being allowed to beat opponents with a stick at any point in the race.
Enjoy it while we can, who knows what the coverage will be like once Eurosport take over.
