Mo for a glorious return ahead of the Spuds game. And just before the chaos of not signing anyone ensues.

Cripps_orig

Only reason to go to that game tbh if he is paraded.

But seriously wtf has happened to him?

I remember 4 or 5 years ago, he was a pubber. How did he become the best in the world at what he does?

Decent run by GB.

We're never going to finish top 2 unless the big 2 flopped the baton changes.

Bronze was all we could get and that's what we got

Yup, looks like GB have well and truly cocked it up. Every time.

Real shame. Felix charged out of those blocks and Ohuruogu was blowing hard down that straight. She couldn't pull off yet another miracle but still, some athlete.

Niall_Quinn
27-08-2015, 12:45 PM
Lost her bottle, lost her form when the druggie went past her. Psychological loss, considering how easy she looked in the semis. Shame.

Magic stuff by Bolt.

Even in defeat he has no shame, sliding up trying to steal some of Bolt's limelight. What a punk.

Niall_Quinn
27-08-2015, 01:09 PM
Even in defeat he has no shame, sliding up trying to steal some of Bolt's limelight. What a punk.

Think it may have been an attempt to draw a line under things. Two defeats, go and congratulate the winner, I think that's okay. Could have been the other thing of course, hard to know. Shame all the other drug cheats haven't been shown up as thoroughly because they should have been. Should be a little "drug cheat" flag on their block and the announcer should detail their doping convictions every time. Little "drug cheat" symbol should be displayed on the TV results. Just embarrass them every time they step on a track and reward the clean athletes with the distinction they deserve.

9.97 for Coleman, 9.98 for Bolt but Bolt's start was er slow to understate it.

Final is on 21:45.

Gatlin got quite an impressive and un-British boo :lol:

Women's 10,000 final, lady who won nearly lapped the 2nd and 3rd places :wacko:

Re NQ's point, there is music pumping out CONSTANTLY. <_<

Looking forward to the 100m final :popcorn:

Should support the British lad but given he has no chance, come on Bolt!

Why isn't Gatlin a villain?

He has failed a drugs test, twice!

Most of them around that time were drug cheats. He's kind if carrying the can for a lot of cheats, discovered and undiscovered. He should have been banned for life, but if justice was applied evenly it would have meant banning half the registered athletes in the world. That's why this Russia ban is such a hypocritical farce. Biggest drug cheats since the East Germans and Chinese is easily the yanks. Their coaches made an art of taking the risk, taking the ban or taking the plaudits if they got away with it. Gatlin is an honours graduate of that system. Everyone focusing in on him is pretty convenient for the Americans and their rotten history of doping. Britain not much better btw. Christie got off so lightly for his obvious transgressions.
