Have they still got that ridiculous one false start and out rule?
Yeah that is still in place. Someone is bound to go from the 100m.
Would be annoying if it was one of the big guns
Hope Bolt has learned his lesson
I'm in 2 minds about this rule. Partly I think it's a bit harsh but on the other hand...they all know the rules. Don't do a false start! It's not that hard, you're supposed to react. Make sure you hear the gun and you'll be fine. It's not like Bolt needs much of a head start.
Might do this summer
With Blake around, Bolt will have to be at his best
Posted this before but worth a re-visit

I went to the Olympic Park today to pick up my athletics tickets. Ridiculous queue, took about 2 hours.
Anyway, on the Tube home there was this American bloke with an Olympics Coach pass - he's coaching some bloke from Zambia in the 800m apparently who he reckons might get to the final but won't win. Back in the day he used to coach Carl Lewis though! :o
Olympics :bow:
Drug cheats :bow:
He did say that most of them are on drugs. :unsure:
Should have remembered his name so I could look him up, there was a bloke from Swedish TV opposite who knew him from past games.
Oh. It was Joe Douglas I met

Greek female triple jumper sent home over tweets she made about the recent discovery of Nile virus found on Athens

With so many Africans in Greece, the West Nile mosquitos will be getting home food! ! !
Such a shame she didnt qualify for the olympics. Would have actually made it worthwhile watching.Quote:

Looking forward to the distance runners. This is my area of expertise.
I should have been in the team, tbf.
I have been picked for the Great South Run later in the year though. I think I go in the orange wave :good:
The main event begins tomorrow. :popcorn:
Greg Rutherford of GB is in the long jump. I went to school with him and he's an absolute top bloke, fingers crossed for him. :scarf:

Do you reckon it's worth splitting this thread down? There's gonna be so much going on....

Isn't she one of the ones who's a rival to Ennis?
Yeah she will be.
Also, Grabuste. :lol:
And I dunno, last time we didn't get that many posts on Athletics.
Fair do's.
