"Is lane 8 a good draw for GBR?"

Steve, even I know that's a silly question.

 

[planetgeli]

2nd - with 2 really terrible baton changes.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fucking hell!

Cram said the conditions could make changeovers difficult, and certainly looked like we struggled, but bloody hell it looked like our runners still pulled it out the bag. They were fast!

 

[Steel Icarus]

Oh do shut up America

 

[Lord Camomile]

If Germany were a surprise, I'm not sure who was supposed to better them, they were well ahead of France in 4th.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Brilliant run from our lasses, great way to finish a Games for Dina and Darryl

 

[Sue]

I'm on a train so relying on you lot to keep me updated, so help me.

Silver for the women in the 4x100m

Although currently a slight worry we were outside of the box for one of the changes. We could have won it if our changes were better. Sha'Carri Richardson blasted it on the anchor leg

 

[Lord Camomile]

While the handovers obviously slowed us down, I suspect if we'd been closer, the Americans would have run faster.

Sounds like Johnson possibly does, too.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Two of our changes were shite

 

[Steel Icarus]

Still! Silver! That's pretty amazing

 

[Lord Camomile]

Yeah, Dina absolutely rocketed out on the first leg, was very surprising!

 

[planetgeli]

Changeovers were legal, just. But definitely cost us.

I thought Asher-Smith and Neita were on fire.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

So close to gold for the UK women but well done for silver!

 

[Numbers]

Sha’Carri Richardson is annoying as fuck.

 

[Sue]

Shite but legal would work. (And coming behind the US team, i mean )

Delighted they’ve got a medal. Daryll is absolutely amazing.

 

[Boo Radley75]

If we'd had 10 more metres, Daryll would have caught Richardson. Immense first and fourth leg for GB and Silver has the best I was hoping for before the gun so well done!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Wowza!

 

[Lord Camomile]

I almost posted "I wouldn't want to win a medal because someone messes up a changeover, but..."

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Well done GB men, I don't think we could have expected more than bronze. Or less if the USA had got the baton round

 

[baldrick]

I'm going to be pedantic here, apologies

Her name is DARYLL

 

[Lord Camomile]

Never apologise for being more correct.

 

[Sue]

I'm going to be pedantic here, apologies

Are you new to the boards?

 

[Sue]

Really sorry I'm missing the relays. They're one of my favourite things.

 

[Boo Radley75]

Amended my side.

 

[Maggot]

What time is KJT Running?

 

[belboid]

3 minutes!

Sorry, in 3 minutes. She better be a tad quicker than that in the race
