"Oh, he's called Usain Bolt..." 
I wonder if Cram actually got a note in his ear to remind him

Holy fuck, that Coleman's a bit nippy!
A bit shocking they were talking about worries Bolt might not make the final.
Oh wait, what's this...?!

Coleman looked to be going nearer to flat out whereas Bolt had plenty in the tank.
Our man Reece Prescod looked good too with a great second 50m. Looks like he'd be a better 200m runner so hope he's in that as well.

What Bolt has to s experience. Coleman has to handle more pressure than he's ever had.
I'm worried about Bolt, too, but you'd be daft to bet against him.

What a run down the straight from Weightman.

Hassan looks a strong athlete, glad Weightman went through and Muir is looking good

Just realised, why isn't Bolt racing 200m? He's always said it's his preferred event

Not enough left in the tank to do both I suspect. And the 100m is top showbiz, something Bolt has always had an eye on.

Bolt announced he was only running the 100m here after last year's Olympics because the heats/semis/final for both races is too much for his aching/ageing body. The scheduling wasn't as kind as it could have been last year and I think it pissed him off a bit. Also, I think Bolt knew back then that Gatlin would only be running the 100m here so there's no rubbing his nose in it incentive in the 200m.Just realised, why isn't Bolt racing 200m?

I watched an interview with him that Steve Cram did on iPlayer and I got the impression that he wanted to retire after Rio but had another year on his contract so decided to compete but make it easier for himself. His geaet's not really in it any more.

Michael Johnson was saying earlier that Bolt doesn't really worry too much about stuff like going out on a win. He knows what he's achieved, and is content enough - and confident enough - to take this event as it comes. I still hope he wins tonight, mind.
He's down for the 4x100 relay squad too, I think

That's one hell of a run Ayana is putting together in the 10K

47 seconds in front of the silver medallist. Blimey.

My mum has been volunteering for the last few days (coordinating/handing out volunteer uniforms) and she apparently heard someone ask "how do I get tickets for the opening ceremony?"

Is there a nicer bunch of athletes on the planet than the heptathletes?
