Yeah, here's his pb's

Date Event Venue Time (seconds)
16 August 2008 100 metres Beijing, China 9.69
13 July 2008 200 metres Athens, Greece 19.67 – National Record
5 May 2007 400 metres Kingston, Jamaica 45.28

IIRC he ran 400m in 45.something secs when he was a jnr

he's got the speed, huge paces, he should give it another go

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Down to 4

 

[marty21]

the russian has got this i think

he's got the speed, huge paces, he should give it another go

With all the heats it would be difficult for him to do the 100, 200, and 400m.

However, depending on scheduling it could be possible. After all the IOC did move the schedule to accommodate Michael Johnson doing the 2 and the 4.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

That russian is massive

 

[marty21]

we need the swede to fuck up

 

[TrippyLondoner]

[TrippyLondoner]

Pathetic last attempt mason, no worries! he wasn't expected to even get a medal before.

 

[Melinda]

He must have been too mind fucked to jump! Not surprising! I cannot comprehend where his head must be!

[TrippyLondoner]

Great stuff!

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Gosh - pop out for a bit and its all happening. Well done Germaine Mason, excellent stuff!

 

[Melinda]

Anyone here prefer this system of false start/ disqualification?

I know the previous way caused delays in the schedule, but this way always strikes me as unfair.

 

[TrippyLondoner]
