these old athletes look good for their age!!

I was trying to work out how old Wells was, can't believe he is 60, looks amazing

can probably still run a 100m in 11 secs

doesnt have to worry about dope tests, seriously tho looks great for 60

That happens when you dont smoke or drink and exercise regularly.

Agreed. Alan Wells could pass for someone in their 40's.

Ah, childhood memories of Moscow in 82.

even moscow in 80.

or even 1980...80 and 84 olympics devalued imo because of the boycots

no wells wudda beaten the americans easily lol

oops alan, what did you say then!

did wells really need to say that? i suppose he's right enough but to say that made it extra special was a bit surprising to say the least.

he's been waiting for 32 years to get a stint as a pundit and he's done his conkers on his first try at it

funny how its ok for a black person to say they're proud to be black but not ok for a white person

It is white people who feel inferior on the track. I was rooting for Mo Farah of course but seeing Galen Rupp get silver was one of the highlights of the games as it showed that white athletes still have a chance in endurance events if the temperature is down to London levels. The dominance of North African runners was not total after all.

Great point there Sageform. It would be great for the sport in general if events were held in a more temperate climate. It has been fantastic seeing athletes being able to compete without collapsing, exhausted, due to the heat.
