Athletics - Running and Jumping and Throwing and stuff!

[Lord Camomile]

Fuck, just occurred to me, where the fuck is Christophe Lemaitre?

 

[felixthecat]

Oh yes

 

[quimcunx]

And it's over.

 

[twentythreedom]

Bolt, 9.6, looking sideways...

Thankyou, thankyou

 

[quimcunx]

Does he do the 200m?

 

[quimcunx]

A glorious day for Brixton.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Bolt is great

 

[twentythreedom]

yeah

 

[felixthecat]

Awwww wish Tyson Gay got bronze rather than Gatlin

 

[Lord Camomile]

Awwww wish Tyson Gay got bronze rather than Gatlin

I suspect almost everyone would. As I said on the other thread, don't think he's ever quite got the success he perhaps deserves.

 

[felixthecat]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMAICA!!!!!!

Yeah, but it was dudes what was running, loads of em. Cheeky fuckers are all at it. The yellow shoes are a Nike "fuck you" to adidas I think... runners must be able to choose own shoes? esp uf sponsored? Adidas are title sponsors but Nike are still everywhere, from what I've seen anyway...

Where do you get the idea that everyone has to wear Adidas?

 

[quimcunx]

apparently Usain felt fairly confident he might do well. Whuddayuno.

 

[twentythreedom]

I thought there was a fairly strict "no unauthorised brands" rule, personal deals or not.

yeah me too, but evidently it isn't the case, blatantly in many instances tbh. Still, it's the best publicity most will get so why not try to get exposure for personal sponsors.. (within reason)

 

[Lord Camomile]

That medal ceremony reminds me, I miss when they used to show fuzzy slow-mos of their winning feat as their flag went up the pole.

London 2012 fucked it up, everyone go home

 

[Maltin]

I can't believe GB are still top of the athletics medal table

 

[Lord Camomile]

Actually, what was our fourth gold?

 

[quimcunx]

Actually, what was our fourth gold?

Bolt? No, he's Jamaican, silly.

e2a: I swear that said ''was that our fourth gold''

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Actually, what was our fourth gold?

You mean today?

 

[quimcunx]

10pm hardly strikes me as the optimum time for the human body to perform at its best. How fast would they be at 10am?

 

[twentythreedom]

Where do you get the idea that everyone has to wear Adidas?

They're the only ones allowed to advertise etc. Stupid innit, pretty much counts for fuck all. See about Dr Dre's headphones? Guerilla advertising, they gave non-samsung etc phones to team gb, dusguised with union jacks

whole lot's a loada bollox tbh

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fuck, just occurred to me, where the fuck is Christophe Lemaitre?

Anyone?

 

[twentythreedom]

Greystoke?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bolt? No, he's Jamaican, silly.

Well, in these days of "crappy multiculturalism" anything's possible! Eh? Am I right? Eh?

 

[agricola]

Actually, what was our fourth gold?

Long jump, Heptathlon, 10k and the 100m.

 

[Lord Camomile]

You mean today?

In the athlix. The table had us with four golds and one silver.

 

[quimcunx]

Well, in these days of "crappy multiculturalism" anything's possible! Eh? Am I right? Eh?

I'm starting a twitter campaign against you.

He's one of ours in Brixton today. Happy Birthday Jamaica.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

In the athlix. The table had us with four golds and one silver.

I thought it was only 3 gold?

 

[Lord Camomile]

I thought it was only 3 gold?

Wait, you could be right there, 4 in total.

As we were...

 

[quimcunx]

Worth saying twice.

"Bolt started with all the nimbleness of a wardrobe''
