Gatlin win. Comical. Only a Tipperary win tomorrow
would be more unpopular.

That was ridiculous. Michael Johnson sounded utterly sick.

I hope the kids learned the moral of the story. Taking drugs pays off

Gatlin’s superior technique beat Bolt

Sort of backfired.

:blush:

Bolt way too slow off the blocks

I’d be most confident that Gatlin was cleanest athlete in that race.

Look Gatlin was caught, that’s the only difference

I hope Bolt goes on to fight Conor McGregor.

Gatland was better conditioned, simple as that, Bolt is the Lance Armstrong of running ffs

It is unbelievable.

I may have mebtioned it somewgere else but i think i’m at the tail end of my greatest individual achievement coaching with a kid who has dyspraxia and recently joined an athletics club. He couldn’t pull himself up into a plank for weeks. And he was scared shitless of me. Has taken 12 months though. But his dad said there is another 20 in his class not much better.

Schools are starting to do counch-to-5km now. Not sure i’m a fan of it without some strength work, however its still good to see the will.

Bolt leaving his career without failing a dug test is a gold medal in itself

Twice. He’s either incredibly unlucky or incredibly stupid

All the muldoons are seething Bolt lost, BBC had built him up too much for them.

You said last week the kid didn’t have dyspraxia.

Yip. Bolt has tevhnically gone back. Stuart McMillian (Andre De Grasse’s coach) even suggested a medal would be a result for Bolt as his mechanics had dropped back a bit

I done the exact same.They love bolt as do I, he’s a great character.

I don’t really buy dyspraxia full stop. But he was doagnosed with it. My point was about the diagnosis of it all.
