That lad who won the gold is that silly event

:rolleyes:

Another day of glory for British athletics as Mohammed Farah wins the 5,000 metres.

shelly ann fraser does the 100/200 double but im struggling to believe this given that her mate veronica campbell brown got done earlier this year
in the 4x4 that last leg from the Jamaican was incredible to get them a second place, id love to see the splits for that last leg, again how the fk did he do it?

Fair play to Mo Farah, double Olympic and World champion. Some man. Pity the BBC coverage has been so sickening.

Agreed

I donā€™t follow athletics particularly closely but is Mo Farah an athlete that can be believed in? Sadly, everybody in that sport has the finger of suspicion pointing at them now. My take on it is Farah seemed to be pretty much a journeyman runner up until he was 28 and then suddenly started winning world and olympic titles.

Did I hear right that he ran one of the fastest 1,500 times in one of his first races over the distance back in the early summer? Most 1,500 metres are finished at 30. Farah bucks the trend and becomes world class over 1,500 in his thirties.

cracking evenings Athletics well underway now
Im watching the womenā€™s high jump carefully ensuring i switch over when the Mrs. is paying any attention to what i am at, Menā€™s Javelin underway now and the 200m final to come later tonight
womenā€™s 110 semis were interesting, strange these days to see a snowflake at the top of a sprint event but sally pearson from australia who is the current olympic champion posted a very fast qualifying time of 12.5s to get through to the final with the fastest time, more than likely doping i suppose

I guess some people donā€™t believe in miracles.

ā€œdid i hear rightā€¦ā€

fuck off pal

Bolt is up shortly in the 200

that was some 4x4 relay final for the birds
The USSR held off the yanks on the line , was some run from MacCrory on the last leg for team USA to almost catch the commie hottie
Bolt is up at five past the hour, for me its 8-05pm or about 20 mins

Yeah that was a close one the Russian done well to hold off the Yank in the last lap

Sally Pearson beaten in the 100m hurdles. Not that much of a surprise after an injury blighted season.

Tim Hutchings rightly condemning the Russian crowd for starting a chant before the starters gun for the womens hurdle final, its not a knowledgable crowd like at the crucible for example.
good race, Rollins beat Pearson with a bit to spare, Pearson would get it in fairness

Indeed she would

jesus, the Kenyan let some roar out of him after he threw that javelin, as Prince Philip rightly pointed out these type of peoples clearly still throw spears at each other
