He doesn't even look that tired...

 

[Steel Icarus]

Mrs SI and The Girl were watching upstairs and me and The Boy downstairs on iPlayer, and they were 30 secs ahead of me and I could hear shouting but not what sort, lol

 

[Casual Observer]

Mo was clipped by other athletes at least 4 times. I'd forgotten how brutal these races can be. Great close race, but as Steve Cram says, Mo's races somehow always are.

 

[May Kasahara]

Outstanding Brilliant race, incredible Mo.

 

[butchersapron]

Here comes the DQ

 

[Steel Icarus]

Oh stahp

 

[kabbes]

Supreme racecraft.

 

[butchersapron]

If two sprinters are saying the blocks are shit then they need listening to.

 

[Maggot]

I was there, am still high from the excitement.

 

[Maharani]

What time does it start tomorrow?

 

[kabbes]

What time does it start tomorrow?

KJT having a mare in the Heptagon high jump, which should be her best event

 

[Steel Icarus]

Pleasure to watch Nafi Thiam, though. Elegant, brilliant, and as Mrs SI just said (as I was thinking it) very beautiful

 

[Maggot]

KJT having a mare in the Heptagon high jump, which should be her best event

I'm not surprised. A seven-sided high jump sounds very difficult.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I'm not surprised. A seven-sided high jump sounds very difficult.

Bloody auto-correct

 

[baldrick]

I like her, she tries, but she never seems to hold it together when she needs to, to get over a bad throw or whatever and just move on. It really lets her down.

 

[stavros]

I do dislike commentators giving us meaningless statistics. Bolt and Farah having more WC golds than Bubka completely negates the fact that Bubka only competed in one event, and for half of his career the WCs were only every four years.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Was at the morning session. Great crowd and some great athletics. I'm a big fan of the heptathlon, and while it was heartbreaking to see KJT stumble (again ), watching Rodriguez and Thiam was a joy, for very different reasons.

At 22, we could arguably be watching Thiam win at at least two more Olympics Although the multi-eventers do suffer at the hands of injuries quite a lot.

 

[colacubes]

Locked in for tonight on the telly. Looking forward to see if Bolt can do the business.

Am going on Monday evening with my Mum who's never been to the stadium despite being an Olympic volunteer (she was assigned to the Beach Volleyball ) and then on Saturday morning with my bezza and her eldest small for the relay qualifying

 

[Lord Camomile]

then on Saturday morning with my bezza and her eldest small for the relay qualifying

Oooh, love a good relay!

 

[colacubes]

Oooh, love a good relay!

Innit Thought it would be a great event to introduce my mate's small to athletics

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

I have The Fear that Bolt won't do it tonight.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I have The Fear that Bolt won't do it tonight.

Me too. But then I had The Fear about Mo last night!

 

[Lord Camomile]

I remember being worried about Rio, too.

 

[blairsh]

Prescod!

 

[colacubes]

Reece Prescod

 

[Lord Camomile]

Wow, coming from behind...!

 

[colacubes]

He reminds me a bit of Bolt given his height and the way he runs the race. Just saw the replay and he didn't even look round. Gameface

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

Wow, coming from behind...!

Helluva finish

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

He reminds me a bit of Bolt given his height and the way he runs the race. Just saw the replay and he didn't even look round. Gameface

Yeah, tall and gangly
