Average start but comes through to win his heat

 

 

Gatlin booed by the crowd in his heat

His final 10,000m and probably the hardest race he's had in years, they tried everything to beat Mo and he was still too good for them, superb run from Farah.

Why isn't he running in the 200m?

 

Ah, that'll be how I managed to get one of the cheaper tickets for the 200 semis then. 'Fail' as they say nowadays.

That's a shame. Christian Coleman may be an alternative highlight.

Bolt's tipping Wayde van Niekerk, who broke Michael Johnson's record in the 400m last year.

 

I'm most looking forward to the women's 200m final though, which is also missing the Jamaican (Elaine Thompson) who would have been the clear favourite, meaning that at least three others (Schippers, Felix, Ta Lou) have a genuine chance of gold and could push each other to impressive times.

Enjoy that.

 

A picture of Dafne Schippers is never out of place:

I hope a week of whisky, tomato juice, theology, etc., has been a blast.

He was brilliant!

I think there's at least one on the 'Olympic Hotties' thread.

Bolt second in his semi though was easing. Coleman the fastest in the world this year, the big danger.

 

The only danger, going by the times, however Bolt was easing up, he'll take Coleman when it matters.

Really hope Laura Muir gives a good account of herself in the 1500m final! Love watching her and she seems like a genuinely lovely person!

I thought bolt got 2nd?

Looks like his foot goes over before Coleman?

 

It's your chest/upper body, that's why you often dip at the line.

BBC are gutted

No wonder, they must have spent a fortune on the promos for his last hurrah.

 

Also, Cram has never hid his disdain for Gatlin/drugs cheats.

Upsets are a big part of what makes sport .

Would have like Bolt to go out on a win ,but that's entertainment .

BBC grief is just funny

You get caught once it could have been a mistake, but if you get caught twice, no excuses, you should never compete again.

Still the 100 metres relay for Bolt to finish on a high

 

He did run a season's best

The Double drugs cheat.

I quite enjoy the Sheriff of Nottingham pantomime spoiling the party side of things. Good on him, balls of steel, resolve etc

 

Also I utterly loathe the London luvvies and the BBC luv ins.

The Double drugs cheat.

In many ways, just the once. The first one was 'rescinded' after proving he took them for a lifelong condition (ADHD) and if that were now, he'd likely be given a TUE like Wiggins got. Indeed, it was overturned after USADA said Gatlin 'did not cheat and did not intend to cheat' through use of the medication. It was also well known by US athletics he took it.

The BBC need to stop turning sport into a celebrity circus. I absolutely loved the seethe after their masturbation was stopped right at their cumshot.

 

It's sport. Not a panto.

Cannot believe nobody fulfilled your request until now.
