Thought they'd fucked that changeover.

 

[Lord Camomile]

That misses the bit where our women forget to do anything at all and sheepishly move back into position.

 

[Sirena]

Er christian was within a few inches of it this year.

OK but it was still a few inches.

And there's this. Illegal but almost unbelievable

 

[Lord Camomile]

Thought they'd fucked that changeover.

I thought they'd fucked a couple; as Jackson said, Asher-Smith had to slow down too.

Ifs and buts...

 

[kabbes]

Silver in a 4x100 is amazing. Really amazing.

And Mo had to WIN that silver. The last mile was sub 4 minutes, ffs.

He should've been shot for that jump. Scary.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Talk that Neita stepped into Germany's lane on the last changeover...

def did

 

[Lord Camomile]

This must be very weird for the Russian high jumper...

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Quite like the anthem. Like the closing credits to a 1950s biblical epic.

 

[Lord Camomile]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD!!!!

 

[Maggot]

Get in!

 

[kabbes]

Legends!

 

[belboid]

Crap way for Bolt to finish, but what a run by the Brits.

 

[kabbes]

Third fastest time in HISTORY. That's proper good, that is.

 

[butchersapron]

blimes

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bolt can't even do his usual playing around. Really, really sad

 

[Badgers]

Wow

 

[Saffy]

Fantastic for Britain.
I'm sad for Bolt.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Fucking hell! Brilliant, just brilliant.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bolt could barely put weight on that left leg, looked proper fucked

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

Amazing, amazing

 

[QueenOfGoths]

So sad for Bolt

 

[Sirena]

It's a curious night. First Farah, then Bolt. Heroes tumbling.....

 

[Lord Camomile]

Side story: makes a mockery of the fact Gemili wasn't in the individuals

Well, you do have to draw a line around your selection procedure one way or other. It's only fair.

 

[Casual Observer]

Would like to know Gemili's split time - the fastest of any in the entire relay I'd say.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Those changes were perfect

 

[Lord Camomile]

Well, you do have to draw a line around your selection procedure one way or other. It's only fair.

I honestly don't know the ins and outs of it to put forward a decent argument, but from what I understand they made him run when he was still injured, rather than letting him heal and then trial, which there was still time to do I think.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

wow

Fucker for Bolt. Not the night for the legends. He was running for bronze, though.
