    Hm well it annoys me that I can't receive Channel 4 Music or Viva used to love watching music channels for some reason ha.

    Ah I might tell them to get Virgin then

    So do you know when the Ostrava meet is?

    Haha aww you're not missing out on a lot. Music Tv channels seem to be slacking lately

    Wahey team Virgin!

    May 25th
    - 12 days to go!! :bban:

    Apparently Powell's going to be at the Shanghai meeting on Friday. Is that not a bit peculiar, to race twice in a week let alone about four thousand miles away from where you do the first race? I'd barely race twice a week at home in the summer...

    Come to think of it, I think I do!! :

    Oo that's one race I won't want to miss! Poor Gay, he thought he had a chance of beating Bolt this year but I think Blake might do so instead

    You can watch it then :awesome: I think it will be on around 12-3pm (not sure exactly when) because of the different timezones. Check it out on the guide

    Indeed! I feel so sorry for Gay :/ he's really sunk into the background. At one point, I thought he was the only one who could beat Bolt! You're so right..if anyone's gonna do it, it has to be Blake I think the times will literally be crazy, even if the weather is bad. Lets just hope there are no sucky semifinal draws (e.g. Bolt and Blake in the same one T_T), that could cost them getting a decent lane in the final!

    Nope it's not on Eurosport

    Exactly! I mean it's all down to his injury towards the end of the seaon last year but hopefully he's recovered fully now. It was such a shame that he missed the World Champs in Daegu.. him, Blake & Bolt in the same race?
    That would've been the race of the YEAR
    Ahh, but then we'd have a pre-final showdown which would make the final even more spectacular as one of them would be all out to beat the other!

    Ah :/ I remember they showed the Zagreb world challenge last year. Maybe they only show European sport meets..I should've figured from the name

    Yea, such bad timing! And he had run a 9.79 before he packed up for the season! I feel for him, having to go for a second surgery too. His body must be suffering

    Oh my god, my dream race :love: I missed the 2009 world championship final, and so I have literally been waiting to see these guys go up against each other forever. Ha, I was so annoyed at last years final ¬_¬ and I missed Bolt vs Gay at the DN Galan in 2010! pity me

    That's true..it could make the final even more tense! The women's 100m final is on the Saturday btw! I find that a bit odd, ha, I seem to always remember it being after the mens! :confused:

    Loool it's no problem, I would've missed it as I would've been at school

    Ahh I know, poor Tyson.. but you never know, all this time he may have recovered amazingly & gained this supersonic speed that neither Bolt nor Blake can compete with(unlikely but still a nice fantasy )

    Ahh, I pity you! I've missed so many meets myself due to having miscalculated the time differences lol

    Haha for once us Women come first..

    Ha okay

    Aha yea lets hope! Imagine, he's just been hiding it

    Ahaha aw well there's always google to do it for me, I just type in the City and country and time e.g. "Kingston Jamaica time". Although I failed hard to find the Daegu time difference today..I couldn't find a working stream though :rant:

    LOL, its strange right? I think it could make the mens even more exciting! Who do you reckon will come first? I think Jeter, but if she doesn't watch out, VCB could steal the gold! (I hope anyway, I love VCB :awesome: )

    Ahh I know, but I'm too lazy to do that. I prefer the old counting backwards on fingers method :cool:
    Grr I hate when that happens or when the stream keeping on freezing ¬¬

    Mm, I don't think either of them will win tbh. They're both in their 30s now.. they don't look it though o__O
    They'll probably be a female equivalent of Yohan Blake out there somewhere. Jamaicans seem to be dominating the athletics world as of lately:excited::party:
