Agreed still think he could have had a shot at the 400m.. Rumours are athletics sa forced him to run 200 if he wanted to be considered for the 4 x 100 relay which is now a doubt anyway

I don't get that logic. I mean it's no harm letting him run the 400.

Was the radio station ever mentioned who did that event. I agree ever since that incident he has dropped so far from a world record breaking athlete to nothing almost

KFM I think it was, but don't quote me.

I'm with you on this. Of all the track and field events - wtf is this?

Who decided one day "ok guys, ima take a run up, jump two..no.. three times, destroy my knees and then see where I land...we measure with a tape!"

"But isn't that just long jump but with big steps?"

"No!"

100%

Schedule of events would have given him less time to recover for the relays.

He is needed in the relays, but has no chance in the individual events

 

[daveza]

Not calling for it to be removed, just a weird sport, but the more the merrier I say. I draw the ****ing line at Darts though. Take that **** to a pub.

It's not a sport.

More of a sport than breakdancing surely.

These high-jumpers pole-vaulters should get an extra medal for best make-up.

Where are you watching high jump?

 

[Heisenborg]

Is it just me or does Jamaica have athletes in every event

He hates the 400, 200 is the one he always wanted to win.

quite odd.

400m world-record holder Wayde van Niekerk: I hate the 400m

They commentators keep polishing Lyles when it was obvious from the heats that Tebogo of Botswana is the faster runner over 200

Let's talk at the finals...

 

[ectoplasm]

Coetzee ended last in 400m, and didn't look close to anyone else

 

[R13...]

Let's talk at the finals...

I think he'll beat Lyles even if he doesn't win. Hope he didn't peak too soon LOL

 

[animal531]

Semi on now for table tennis, Japanese guy vs that Swede, they're murdering those poor ping pong balls.

 

[ectoplasm]

The english commentators on BBC1is hyping the Englishman for the 400m gold.

EDIT: and he came second, couldn't hold on to gold, lost it in the last 5 meters

 

[Heisenborg]

What a 400m


4th and 5th fastest times in history. Underdog takes it. Again

Lets go tebogo 200m

That Knighton kid is a wild card. Well he is a guy now.
