Re: General Athletics ThreadHe knew there would be absolutely no chance in the 100m I imagine.(Original post by DH1')
Is it true that Lemaitre pulled out of the 100m's to concentrate on the 200? -

Re: General Athletics ThreadProbably wise. Still, would've been nice to see him there.(Original post by Mess.)

Re: The most beautiful sprinter ever, shame his race will cloud thatWhat are you on about, Bolt may look 'ugly' but he dominates every other human being that has ever lived (and competed)
This isn't gymnastics, there are no points added for elegance.

Re: General Athletics ThreadChambers looked really good today, I'm happy for him. Everyone's been criticising him in the media so much, things like 'he's been given a lifeline like no other athlete could dream of and he's letting us down, wasting it all and getting beat by teenagers', mindless comments like that. Would be really happy for him if he gets to the final. He's a guy who made some big mistakes many years ago and now wants redemption. He's straight talking and seems more mature than a few years ago. You can see that he's determined, he's 35 and should be all means be well over the hill, but he ran one of his fastest times ever today, and that too after easing up in the later stages. With Blake, Bolt, Powell, Gatlin, Gay, and Bailey pretty much nailed on for the final, he's got a decent chance of getting through in the other spots (I was told he was the fourth fastest qualifier, only Bailey, Gay/Gatlin, and Blake were quicker), and he seems capable of a sub-10 run.

Wise choice I think. He has a higher chance winning a medal in the 200m -

Re: General Athletics ThreadIt's not too soon, the men's 100m final is tomorrow. I think they just do it that way, because they know that there will be a lot of media coverage tomorrow for the men's 100m final.(Original post by This Honest)

Re: General Athletics ThreadCan't wait for Mo. When I was running long distance (stopped now unfortunately(Original post by Mastermind`)
Merged by mistake, has been deleted now.
Looking forward to seeing Mo Farah later
) I always dreamt of being the Brit who finally challenged the top dogs in the long distance races, so it's great to see we've got someone doing that, at our home games as well
