The Athletics Thread (... but predominantly about Bolt)

[Mike]

I reckon Blake is going to win gold in the 100m. A time of around 9.60 ish.

Bolt wont get a good start and he'll not be able to claw it back.

Im the same pal, i think Bolt is going to get a shocking start and Blake will power ahead.

[red g]

Is the flase start rule still in? read they were thinking of changing it. not sure when though?

[Buzzo]

Don't forget Bellshill's Tom McKean

Can you remember the Geordie fella Dave Sharpe? He robbed a shop and was chased for miles by the cops who couldn't catch him, haha

Mckean lways got himself 'boxed in' in finals didn't he

He's polis now (a copper/rozzer etc.)

[Shaggy]

Bolt on BBC2 now, 100m

[Gibbo]

Terrible terrible start.

Mans a freak of nature.

[Assassin]

Bolt on BBC2 now, 100m

Is he not finished yet?

[Buzzo]

Blake in the 200m now.

Aries Merrit also just broke the WR in the 110m hurdles.

[Daniel 7]

Missed it, ffs

What time did Bolt get?

[Buzzo]

9.86 or something I think. Amazing to think that is a bit **** for him.

[Shaggy]

Yep, it was a dreadful start and his pick-up was dire too. Looked really sluggish...and wins in 9.86

[Daniel 7]

Slow for him! Not so long back, that was the world record.

[Buzzo]

And Blake won in 19.54

Bad day at the office for the Jamaicans

[Assassin]

Yep, it was a dreadful start and his pick-up was dire too. Looked really sluggish...and wins in 9.86

Out of interest, how many metres did he win by with the dreadful performance

[Shaggy]

Out of interest, how many metres did he win by with the dreadful performance

I'd guess about a metre

[Buzzo]

I'd guess about a metre

Yeah, as ever, he blitzed the field during the second third of the race and had won it with about 10 metres to go.

I didn't even notice who was second, third etc.
