Paris Olympics 2024

@Cheasty i have vague memories of Donovan Bailey and Michael Johnson facing off in a catch weight race at some meet before. Think it was over 150 metres and Johnson feigned injury with 30 metres to go when he realised his goose was cooked.

Did I dream this or did it actually happen as I have never heard it mentioned in pop culture ever since

Tebogo wins the 200 and now the man from Trinidad is leading the javelin. If he was to win he might be able to afford a pair of matching shoes to compete in in future.

They did race over 150m, think I read it on Wikipedia.

Lyles is some piece of shit.

He was beaten and makes a song and dance about being injured, including being taken away in a wheelchair.

I have a 1% notion that this may have happened alright. David Beggy racing a greyhound made considerably more impact on my consciousness.

Here we go

The Botswana fella led the whole way in fairness

Lovely touch from Tebogo to take his name card off the singlet.,

As big of a wanker as Iโ€™ve seen in athletics,

Well called by you in the heats for the 100 metres.

Pakistani javelin fella looks like a fella called late to play indoor soccer in the tracksuit bottoms.

They like Tossing the Khyber in Pakistan.

All the talk about Lyles even though he finished third.

Big crash I hear?
