Wariner looked absolutely knackered. That, to be fair, is a dreadful run.
Great run by the big man Merrit.

That dive was great, a couple of grazed knees are temporary but an Olympic medal is permanent.
Mystery as to why everyone in the race ran slower except the Champ. Sure even our fellas of a few years ago like Thomas, Baulch and Richardson used to run mid 44 and would've all beat Wariner had they done that here. Suppose Rooney and the others can all do that too but didn't for whatever reason.

Was a wet track, I suppose.

I really don't think Idowu has a lot more in the tank than that. He jumped a season's best, so it was hardly like he choked, and it would have taken a PB to clinch the gold from that great jump by Evora.
Not in Edwards' league, I'm afraid. He just doesn't have that raw pace down the runway, as far as I can tell.

this is one of the most disgraceful episodes in british sport and it's nowt to do with this lad really. This was leaked to the press by a senior member of staff at the ABA in order to unsettle the Olympic boxing team as there's a huge infight between the head of the ABA and the Olympic Boxing Team manager. Then after all the other boxing writers had shelved it for what it was, some scumbag columnist at the Mail ran it.Lord Kangana wrote:Crazy Horses Waahh! waahhh!
And hurray!!

Still pissed off about the 4x100. It would be better to stop at the bloody line than do that. His teammates must be bitter, because I am...
And the boxer... involved in an indecent incident with a French girl.......
I like his style.
