Wenda Nel still doing hurdles now

Doubt she's a realistic medal hope

You never know

 

[Azbubu]

Laurel is embarrassing us.

FFS Laurel’s let men worldwide down.

 

[R13...]

she's out

 

[6spdmanual]

women are about to have a field day with this outcome.

 

[wbot]

Doubt she's a realistic medal hope

True

 

[R13...]

True

She at least managed to avoid being last.

This 5000m is going to have a crazy end considering the names involved. Hassan, Obiri, Tirop...

 

[Hamster]

I mean they say Hassan is the favourite but on the right day Obiri is unbeatable.

 

[daveza]

We need more of this ...

Edit: Really ? What does it matter where we anyone watches it ?

 

[Azbubu]

I mean they say Hassan is the favourite but on the right day Obiri is unbeatable.

Never doubt her.

 

[Hamster]

Never doubt her.

Hassan is insane though. Where they get the energy at the end to still run that fast is just mind boggling.

These long distance 800-10000m races are the best by far

 

[pinball wizard]

These long distance

Speaking of which, isn't Gerda Steyn in with a medal shot in the marathon?

No idea. Hope so. I don't follow marathons really so no idea.

 

[Stephen]

Did they ever say which radio station ran the event that caused Waydes serious knee injury

 

[Pegging]

Looks like Laurel’s snatch was just not good enough.

Looks like Laurel’s snatch was just not good enough.

 

[TheMightyQuin]

Looks like Laurel’s snatch was just not real enough.

I would probably battle just to lift the steel rod.
