deesidejambo Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Now Michael Johnson (that well-known Doctor) has said the IAAF have got it "horribly wrong". Despite the fact that he has not even seen the medical record evidence, but the IAAF spokeswoman has. Well Michael - you and Gabby can both gtf. Neither of you are Doctors - neither of you have seen the evidence of the guys visit. Get back to tossing each other off about how absolutely fantastically fantastic Usain Bolt is. He is of course the greatest sportsman in the history of the world, past and future. And that evil Gatlin - how dare he ruin the race by winning it.

132goals1958 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Just watching the triple jump and it is amazing that 22 years on, Jonathan Edwards record remains intact. Even more remarkable, it is almost 50 years since Bob Beamon had that not to be forgotten world record long jump and only Mike Powell has improved it, Indeed since Jessie Owens world record in 1935 only Ralph Boston, Beamon, Powell and a Soviet Union athlete have held world records. With better training, methods. stronger and bigger athletes, general improvements in sports science what is the dynamic of those two field events that make it so unique.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) I did look like she grabbed at the arm and then followed up with a little push. If it happened further back in the race it would not have mattered but so near the line is different.

Victorian Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 The American had eased out a bit much further back but Sharp didn't. She probably wouldn't have caught her but was slightly gaining. The girl who made the inside run made Sharp make another effort and she ended up making contact. I think she could have edged out a bit to stay clear of the American's path. Harsh.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 She did qualify as a fastest loser. So did the American so it didn't really matter although I still think Sharp could have gone around the outside and avoided the clash. Worth an appeal though.

Worth an appeal though. Just what I was thinking. Not sure why Sharp didn't edge out by half a lane. It was actually the American easing out that allowed the other runner to make the inside run for 2nd. Either way, the top 4 would all have qualified.

Jambo-Jimbo Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Superb from both the GB sprint relay teams, unexpected Gold & Silver, as we maybe had a chance for Bronze in both at best, but to win and come second is outstanding.

Credit to Edris, Mo may have been knackered going in but left everything on the track, could barely walk the lap of honour. Some performance to beat him.
