Re: Athletics(Original post by erniiee)
Hm well it annoys me that I can't receive Channel 4 Music or Viva

Ah I might tell them to get Virgin then

Wahey team Virgin!

Re: AthleticsYea, I'm praying for 25 degrees, a 1m/s tailwind, no rain and good humidity at 21.50 on Sunday the 5th August.(Original post by _OliviaTheOwl)

I'll be SO annoyed if it rains.. trust England to build an open top stadium :-P -
Re: AthleticsOh my gawd, I will cry haha. Yea why couldn't they build one with a roof?! You'd have thought they learned..(Original post by _OliviaTheOwl)

It's crazy isn't it! I'm hoping we'll see a sub 9.8 before next month aha! -

Aha, will be very disappointing! I wonder whether Bolt and Blake will clash before London too..hmmmmm
-
Re: AthleticsCome to think of it, I think I do!! :(Original post by erniiee)

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

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

You can watch it then
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!

Re: AthleticsNope it's not on Eurosport(Original post by erniiee)

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!

Re: AthleticsAh :/ I remember they showed the Zagreb world challenge last year. Maybe they only show European sport meets..I should've figured from the name(Original post by _OliviaTheOwl)

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
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!

Re: AthleticsLoool it's no problem, I would've missed it as I would've been at school(Original post by erniiee)

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..

Re: AthleticsHa okay(Original post by _OliviaTheOwl)

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 
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
)

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
