Team GB are having a bit of a mare in the 400m hurdles.

Dai Greene looked uncomfy and may not qualify and Jack Green clattered to the floor. Fingers crossed for Dai!

Let's see what this Rhys Williams chappie can do.

Dai Greene thru to the final !! Yay!!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Phew for Dai! Glad he made it as a fastest loser

 

[felixthecat]

Jack Green looked like he did something nasty to his groin as hit hit that hurdle - poor lad

 

[felixthecat]

I smirked a bit when I realised the Aussie in the last heat was named Brendan Cole. Clearly SCD doesn't pay enough.......

I was a bit worried about what he might have hit I'm glad Dai Greene went through though, wouldn't have been right if he didn't he's such a determined athlete

So did I.
Then I remembered that spangly sequinned Brendan Cole the dancer is a Kiwi and not an Aussie. I properly chided myself for confusing the two.

 

[felixthecat]

I was a bit worried about what he might have hit

Not sure he hit anything vital - looked like the impact forcibly extended a contracted muscle. Possible an adductor tear/strain?

I'm sad, I analyse the injuries

 

[felixthecat]

In fact, I'm so, so sad I watched it back about 4 times before deciding not an adductor, more likely iliopsoas

*needs to get a life*

[felixthecat]

[Espresso]

[felixthecat]

He was drinking in my local last week with the rest of the Aussie team.

The long jump official getting his flags mixed up and the crowd's reaction to it was comical.
