When I used to do it I never tried my best in the heats, always save something in reserve was my motto.

HURRAH

By:
WHY you don't save any energy .same energy goes into clearing as into failing to get over,you mean these 8 were playing mind games with those who,ll jump close to 2 40,

Venezuela ahead of us in the table, all that funding sloshing about certainly paying off for GB.

Corruption rife in Venezuela ?

Most of the improvement in sprint times is down to the tracks .
I presume this track is a slow one. Nobody seems to have any problem with the 50th best sprinter being as fast Carl Lewis at his peak , all down to the tracks in my opinion and these championships are showing just that. |
|
By:
Improved sports nutrition, sports science, recover techniques, training techniques, extra funding for better coaches, huge sponsorship deals for elite attracting more and more athletes, running shoe development, sophisticated doping are all reasons why sprint times have improved, not just a faster track.

Just one question I need answered here.....Is Dafne a cert in the 200m
 usually quick out the blocks, looks to be winning heats with a bit in hand. Shaunae normally not as quick of the blocks, having to make up the ground later. Will Dafne be to far in front to claw back? |

Niyonsaba and Wambuie...2 more blokes !

Wambui msakes Semenya look like a catwalk model
yeah,the winner's iffy as well |

By:
the leader in the long jump is questionable as well
|

By:
She called her team mate a "sp*stic"

By:
ridiculous dq for lynsey sharp
|
|
By:
The 800 metres women have been sold down the politically correct river .
Semenya was barely out of a jog to win , could have won by 20 metres if desired. |
|
By:
Sharp had no need to be that close to the yank , all her own fault.
|
|
By:
Semenya has a jogging style when she's flat out. Not that she was on this occasion.

Kipyegon Bett did worse in the final of the mens 800m

By:
Why on earth they keep having 12 runners in the 1500 metres I have no idea , too many and the reason they constantly clash and fall.
