chicken nuggets!

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Powell is just...amazing

 

[Barking_Mad]

that time was unbelievable, even more so looking at the handovers, all of them relatively safe. im sure on the first one the incoming athlete had time to pat the guy on the back after the baton change!

 

[scooter]

Unbelievable

 

[marty21]

Powell is just...amazing

he stormed the last leg

pity he didn't do much in the 100 final

 

[Barking_Mad]

chicken nuggets!

i know Bernard Matthews puts stuff in them but i didn't think they had that effect

 

[ScallyWag II]

That's an astonishing amount of time to take off a record 0.3 seconds

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Gb relay women appealing for some reason

 

[Barking_Mad]

haha! I love this from the BBC text commentary

Bolt tears down the track after Powell and actually finishes in front of the Netherlands.

interference from an outside lane? Makes no difference i cant see what they can do, they're hardly going to run it again.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

The way bolt stuck his arm out to receive the baton is what should be shown as an example to the ones who keep messing it up.

 

[Barking_Mad]

LOL. Jamaica have JAM on their vests.


as you were.......just amusing myself.

switching the baton is easier for Bolt though coz he can afford to go a bit slow knowin he'll make it up when he starts running. Likewise when he passes it on, he's so far ahead by then, they can do it carefully

 

[TrippyLondoner]

5.85m cleared by the russian in the pole vault, want him to beat the aussie!

I know,but its still the right way to do it.

The aussie clears 5.85m on his last go!

[TrippyLondoner]

How do pole vaulters get from gig to gig when they're training?
