Piri-Piri Wins the heat to go into the semis

[Chazza]

Decent run that

[Leyton388]

I think she will do well in the final if she gets there.

[Chazza]

Here we go!

Powell and Gatlin up first.

[ChesterDave]

Drug cheat wins it

[Chazza]

Wow

9.82 at a canter

[CJ]

Jesus gatlin looks strong

[Imy]

9.82 Gatlin

[Leyton388]

Cant wait for Bolt to wipe the floor with Gatlin in the final

[Chazza]

Powell didn't look good

[Imy]

Powell didn't look good

3rd and currently not qualified

[Leyton388]

Bloody drug cheat shouldn't even be in it.

[RichC]

Powell is going to be sweating on getting into this final, fancy all the semis are going to be quick!

[Gibbo]

He has to get into the final first. His semi is not easy, with this structure weird things could happen and I'm not convinced he's quite there. He is not starting well, even for him, and he's not driving through in that 40-50m area the way he was a couple of years ago.

Now I've said that he'll probably go run 9.25 in the final

Ah, I thought hed already got there

Hopefully it's a decent race.

Size difference between Bolt and the Chinese athlete. Lads v Dads
