Yep, good long jumps for them both. I just hope Sotherton's finally got her javelin sorted. If she has, then she's good for bronze hopefully... Kluft's just too damn good and I've been impressed by Blonska, so I can't really see past them getting gold, silver unless something majorly goes wrong.
Yeah, I was impressed at how good Ohurugu was, considering she's hardly had any races. Sadly no 800m girls reached the final, but they still ran well today.
Next on track, the men's 100m semis... I'm so excited! Asafa Powell FTW.
Some surprisingly slow times in the semis, I know theres a lot of kidology but still no sub 10 second times, not a lot of 10.1 times either. Devonish through the final, MLF just missed out
Ennis looks a lot better on the javelin than Sotherton. She just stops at the point of delivery and makes a rather lame effort.
I knew if any Brit would make it through to the final, it would be Devonish... but unlucky for MLF to miss out by one-hundredth of a second. Pickering would be disappointed because he knows he can run faster. Erm... I'm thinking Gay might win later, although he did look really nervous. I'm so looking forward to Powell vs Gay, I just hope the former comes out on top!
Sometimes I just want to slap Sotherton - her javelin is so frustating! I really thought she had sorted it by now, but evidently not. She's fastest in the 800m though, so hopefully she can still get bronze.
Good javelin from Jessica Ennis really...while it wasn't a lot, 2 PBs is not bad at all..and she still looked disapointed, with that, which is god for the futre.
Not the complete disaster from Kelly either. So think still looks good for the 800m
I definately think Kelly Sotherton can get that bronze medal, That Austra SKUJYTE has a PB of 2:15 with a SB of 2:19 for 800m. Kelly is way faster than that.
I'm still pissed off with Asafa... he just gave up at the end and didn't even try for the Silver. But, as much as it pains for me to say, well done to Gay.
Well, he's got a lot to think about. I'd be shocked if Powell didn't win a global title at some point, and in the long run an Olympic gold is of course preferable.
