1st time ive seen a marathon winner asking for Directions

Can I have 1.01 about Steve Cram saying "Mo Farah answers his critics in the best possible way" when he smashes the field to bits in the 5000 and 10000 ?
|
|
By:
Gatlin the more impressive there. Albeit with a better tailwind. Interesting to see if the odds change.

By:
bolt looks shot to bits
|
|
By:
trip too short for bolt now, needs 200
|
|
By:
Bolt eased down with 10 meters to go, got a poor start and still ran 9.96, he does seem worried though, normally he's smiling, laughing and joking before the start but there was none of that, very unusually tense and his interview afterwards was the same.

is farah vulnerable here??

Jess Ennis is perfect in every possible way. Changing her name to Ennis Hill isjust rubbing our faces in it though.

That's another few boatloads of immigrants on their way to the Calais tunnel to live the British dream.

Great drama in the Heptathlon Johnson Thompson has handed the gold to Ennis
 after fouling all her long jumps  |
|
By:
ALL IN and u get done by a Toe Nail
 |
|
By:
Free money to lay KJT in Heptathlon. If you dare take on any possible challenge that is.
|
|
By:
free money indeed can't challenge that!
|
|
By:
I can't decide if she was brave or stupid.
|
|
By:
Stupid.
|
|
By:
No challenge. KJT was not interested in a medal of any colour other than Gold ,they say fortune favours the brave
|
|
By:
Well someone just put £50 on KJT at 40s.

Darlo she has been balls (excuse the expression ) out since the start ,she is 22 tactics will come ,insanity in the high jump yesterday ,know what you are saying sadly KJT has one gear at the moment ,She is a massive runner for Brazil
 |
|
By:
I don't think there was a lot wrong with going for it; but I think there was going for it, going for it, going for it. Dead easy to say in hindsight but surely she had to put at least some mark up in either r2 or r3 when the differences are fairly small by holding back on just one of three jumps.
Different tactics & approaches for different people though I suppose. |
|
By:
You are spot on Darlo ,somehow her approach appears to have been all or nothing ,Perhaps having Jess as a team mate has caused this ,who knows ,would have been great going forward if she had been a bit more conservative
I lose touch with athletics cant believe Jess was the price she was ,looked at betting last night before 1st event and thought HTF is Jess this price ,there must be something I don't know GO GOLD JESS ... |

British Athletics appealing the last no jump.

By:
It was pretty clueless by KJT. Should have been a lot more conservative and brought her landing foot back a good 10-15cms - she could have still produced a jump in region of 6.60-6.70m & still be battling for gold.
|
|
By:
Madness TBH , would have been a great battle ,but ? You can fault her stupidity ,you cannot fault her competitive approach
you live and learn ,but all in and done by a toe nail is a bit cruel |
|
By:
Any of you guys watch the marathon last night ,The guy who won totally lost the plot 2KM out was looking at his watch obviously thought this must be nearly over ,started asking the crowd where the finnish was
|
|
By:
missed that. Sounds funny
|
|
By:
Not entirely unknown for championship marathons. Jim Alder went off course in the 1966 Commonwealth Games because tournament officials forget to tell him where to go when King and Queen made an impromptu visit. He lost the lead but reclaimed it on the line.
|
|
By:
I think JE's big second jumped forced her to go for it on her last jump.....realistically to win gold she needed 50cm on JE.
|
|
By:
Wow. BBC finally announcing the appeal. Only been about an hour since the appeal was launched.
