Tempted to have a flutter in this womens 1500m, but not made my mind up yet, might wait and see which one has the best trainers on

I must admit I only tuned in for the 100 metres on Saturday evening and was nauseating at the bolt worship that went on, but what entertainment I nearly fell off my chair laughing when gatlin won it.
The absolute shock horror on the beeb made for excellent viewing, I was in convulsions well done to the beeb for providing such an enjoyable spectacle. |

Out of curiosity checked on all-time women's 400m greatest times just now
A staggering 24 of the best 30 times were before 1988! |

By:
Who's your womens 1500 pick then? I'm going for Hassan to take gold
|
|
By:
Laura Muir.... No pressure
We were set a target of 6-8 medals before the start of the games, so far we have 1. Assuming Mo gets another, where are the other 4 coming from? Relying on Laura to get a couple, our 20k walker, and a relay medal.  |

By:
These BBC women are bigging up 'gold medal prospect' Laura Muir so much. It's annoying
I would be surprised if she got a medal - 2.9 medal lay. Kipyegon is better value around 5s than Hassan but it should be close |

Caster Semenya for me..

Great finish but ....Muir went too hard in the Olympic final and this time allowed to crawl for 3 laps ......
|
|
By:
Pipped on the line by the fast finishing Kenny Semenya.
|
|
By:
Very tough. Really feel for her.
She will be replaying that race over and over, but you only get one chance. Let's hope she gets a medal in the 5k |

Kenya have been branching out into other Athletic events outside of the long distance running in recent years haven't they?
Julius Yego threw the 10th longest Javelin throw in history 2 years ago and now a Kenyan 1500m World Champion |
|
By:
that was a hell of a race
reminded me of a 3m novice hurdle at Cheltenham on soft ground |

as someone who knows nothing about horse racing that means nothing to me

I predicted 4 medals, looks like with Mo Britain will have just 2, will this affect Lottery funding ?
