Allyson Felix is one of the most talented athlete's i have ever seen runs outstanding times in the 100,200 and 400

[Novo]

That's Mo's training partner who finished 2nd they are really good friends

[Novo]

Awwwwwwwwwww

[Lee.]

What was that announcement there?

[Black Dagger]

Poor Greg has been overshadowed by Jess and Mo

I think he expected it though, and I wouldn't say overshadowed, his support was just as strong tonight, he's got a gold medal, I doubt he's fussed. :tongue:

[Jayson]

aww Jess

[Shaun]

:love:

[Jayson]

Woooooo

[GypsyGoth]

:worship:

[Shaun]

[Shaun]

[Jords]

Amazing job!

[Jayson]

[MTVN]

[Jayson]

And now I'm going to sleep for 5 days

Cannot believe I've stayed up this long

[Marc]

:worship: etc.

[MTVN]

Missed your 10 o clock bed time have you

[Jayson]

Missed your 10 o clock bed time have you

No I've been up since 7pm yesterday

I'm ****ed

[Lee.]

[GypsyGoth]

Perri Shakes Drayton destroying the field

Yayy Perri did great :love:

[Black Dagger]

Well done Perri <3.

Nice strong showing, hopefully she's even stronger in upcoming rounds.

[Jayson]

Lovely hurdling

[MTVN]

C'mon Dwain

[Jayson]

Chambers and Bolt running now

[Munchkins]

Bolt is just inhuman
ridiculous :O

[Jayson]

Bolt obliterating them all, and showboating at the end :joker:

[Mystic Mock]

Bolt was very good.

[Jayson]

Shame that Dwain didn't make it

[MTVN]

Good run for Gemili

[Munchkins]

Awee Gemili seems lovely

[MTVN]

Mo :worship:

[Munchkins]

Awww Mo just fantastic :worship:

[Munchkins]

Omgg commentary box are absolutely hilarious :love:

[MTVN]

:joker:

[Wildcat!]

THAT WAS HILAROUS!!!! and great to see.

[Jayson]

The presenter was just like "imma act cool because I know they'll air this eventually"

[GypsyGoth]

That's not fair the way that guy has springs on his limbs.

Why doesn't he put different springs on and do the high jump next?

[Shaun]

poor Aldama, third Olympic games she's finished just outside the medals :( [albeit for Cuba, just GB this time :p]

[MTVN]

Bloody Rooney

[Marc]

Aldama :( she's like 40 yo, she will no doubt do another Olympics

[Marc]

Rooney :bored:

[Jayson]

How did that IOC person qualify? her time is like 40 seconds behind everyone else :shocked:

[Jayson]

Christine Ohuruogo up next in the 400m final :pipe:

[Marc]

[Jayson]

Fantastic stuff :amazed:

[Marc]

Well done! :love: amazing comeback

[MTVN]

She did alright

[Shaun]

Christine :worship: phenomenal athlete

[Jayson]

Had that race been 10m longer she so would have won

If only she was on an inside lane

[Marc]

That was crazy good! Another 10 metres :suspect:

[Marc]

:joker: Echo'ing Jayson again

[Jayson]

ffs Marc

[Marc]

DeeDee Trotter... what a great name

[Marc]

ffs Marc


OMG I did it again.....

[Macie Lightfoot]

Sanya Richards-Ross <3 very well deserved.

[Jayson]

So rude

[Me. I Am Salman]

So close but well done to her anyway

[Locke.]

Luka Modric about to race here

[GypsyGoth]

How random is it to have just one hurdle and a pool of water, why not have a big wall and a tunnel.

[Marc]

Tbh Claudia they considered it, but apparently it's a bit of a disadvantage to those who are fat... :-/

[Marc]

There's like 1 white person, properly racist is this race.

[MTVN]

White people just aren't as good at jumping and running through water

[Jayson]

Why is my internet so slow

[Shaun]

I was supposed to be in the final but I couldn't be assed

[MTVN]

This 100m had better start on time, I have to go out at 10 :suspect:

[GypsyGoth]

Tbh Claudia they considered it, but apparently it's a bit of a disadvantage to those who are fat... :-/

:laugh:

[Jayson]

If anything it'll start early

[Novo]

They have even got a countdown to the 100m going now :joker:

[Locke.]

McEnroe and Lineker, no matter what event it is you can always count on them to pop up

[Jayson]

Bolt will win it in WR time

[GypsyGoth]

Bolt is a giant.

[Jayson]

omg

[Macie Lightfoot]

Bolt will win it in WR time

Win, maybe. WR, I'd be shocked.

[Marc]

Thompson and Martina just ruin that lineup tbh

[Me. I Am Salman]

Come on Yohan Blake

[Shaun]

supporting the Gay tbh~

[Marc]

:worship: Bolt

[Jayson]

Come on Bolt...

[Shaun]

lmao the beast

[Jayson]

Legend :joker:

[Locke.]

The Beast has got this in the bag

[Marc]

They're all amazing but in a few seconds or so one of them make the others look slow and rubbish.

[Novo]

The Silver beast by the end of tonight

[Jayson]

Here goes

[Shaun]

-holds jayson-

[Marc]

Netherlands guy to make a shocking upset.

[Jayson]

YES!!! :amazed:

[Marc]

Bolt :worship:

Amazing

[Jayson]

Take that Legend killer you ****!

[Maia]

The bolt!!!

[Marc]

Bolt :worship:

Amazing

[Shaun]

jesus

[MTVN]

Easy

[Locke.]

Thought he had blown that with the slow start

[Jayson]

Gay didn't even podium :joker:

[MTVN]

What happened to Powell

[Me. I Am Salman]

Wanted Blake to win, felt it was his time
But well done to Bolt

[Locke.]

The Beast was very unlucky in the end

[Marc]

Gay didn't even podium :joker:

Homophobe

[Jayson]

True

[Me. I Am Salman]

ughh Yohan deserved it more

[Jayson]

A white woman just won her 200m semi.

What is this sorcery?

[Jordan.]

Hollys coach is Masood from Eastenders

[Legend killer]

Sadlt for London the Athletics will cost it the chance to go down as one of the all time great games. The track and field has been a major letdown tbh know where near as exciting as in Beijing

[Novo]

Much better if you ask me

[Legend killer]

Much better if you ask me

Your telling me the track and field has been more exciting then in Beijing come on man

http://rustledmyjimmies.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/DID-YOU-JUST-TRY-TO-RUSTLE-MY-JIMMIES.jpg

[Novo]

Yes

[Legend killer]

Yes

There were 14 World record's broken in the track and field in Beijing while i don't think there has been even a handfull in London

http://i.chzbgr.com/completestore/12/6/8/Z3tlpCF9m0KfYv4bYorWVg2.jpg

[Macie Lightfoot]

Yeah so far this doesn't compare to Beijing at all. The upset in women's PV was great, as was Kirani James going under 44 and Sanya Richards getting the elusive gold medal. That's really about it so far though, but there's still a lot left so maybe things can start to get real good.

[Marc]

London > Beijing

Brownlee bros on later today

[Marc]

Top 5 after the swim

[Marc]

Top 3 now during the cycling

[Marc]

They were falling like bitches today in the hurdles I saw at least 5 people not finish.

[Marc]

Brownlee Brothers looking like they'll be getting Gold and Bronze!

[Marc]

Gold and Bronze for the Brownlee Brothers :pipe:

[Black Dagger]

They've done it.

:amazed:

With a potential of 3 (4) more golds to come today, we look set to beat our Beijing record.

[Novo]

Good old Alistair

[Marc]

Ceremony is being really delayed... :suspect: I hope no body is injured or been caught accused

[Novo]

The triathlon medal ceremony is delayed as Johnny Brownlee is seen being taken away by medics in a wheelchair, showing just how much the triathlon takes it's toll on athletes physically.

[Black Dagger]

I hope he's alright, he's been phenomenal today and should be really proud of his bronze medal.

[Shaun]

the Brownlees :worship:

[Black Dagger]

Rober on shortly in the High Jump.

I'd love him to be a shock gold medalist, but hopefully he can secure a bronze.

[Black Dagger]

Rober cleared 2.25

He stands a really strong chance of getting a medal.

[GypsyGoth]

Instead of throwing the discus all the time, they should throw random kitchen appliances.

[Jayson]

Olympic Spooning

[Shaun]

yay Osagie qualified for the final (of what idk)

[Novo]

Osagie in the final, what is going on :joker:

[Black Dagger]

Rober failed his first attempt at 2.33 =(

Hopefully he will do it next time, he deserves a medal.

[Locke.]

Kitum!!!!

[Jords]

Dude he was 1 lanky bastard!

[Black Dagger]

Rober is technically 'out' as he didn't surpass 2.33.

But he still MIGHT get bronze, I believe, but not sure.

[Jords]

Hes currently on bronze needs 1 of the other guys to fail their last chance, cant remember their name.

[Black Dagger]

Hes currently on bronze needs 1 of the other guys to fail their last chance, cant remember their name.

Oh, keep me updated then bub.

I turned off as he was getting upset and I wanted to cuddle him.

[Black Dagger]

Oh, confirmed.

Bronze.

That's pretty good, he was favourite for silver, but a medal for GB is still good <3.

I didn't have him down as a medal hope earlier as well. I'm pleased for him. :amazed:

[Locke.]

This guy that keeps attacking the high jump bar everytime he fails :joker:

[GypsyGoth]

I hope the russian wins :D

[Munchkins]

The high jump is actually solid wtf
such a hard event

[Locke.]

Kynard the Attacker gets a Bronze

[Jayson]

That guy's hair :love:

[Jords]

This guy that keeps attacking the high jump bar everytime he fails :joker:

:joker:

[Jayson]

The discus thrower :joker:

"YEEEAHHH, YEAAHAAHAHAHHHH, YEESSSS, YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"

[Jords]

This arsehole shouting after throwing his bloody discus

[Black Dagger]

The high jump is actually solid wtf
such a hard event

Yeah, I would never be able to do it.

I probably even couldn't do 1m.

I've never been good at sport though, the olympics is like the thing that has got me hooked into it.

[Jayson]

Shelly-Ann <3

[Black Dagger]

Kynard the Attacker gets a Bronze

I thought Rober just got it? :sad:

[Locke.]

Might have been a silver he got actually

[Black Dagger]

Oh apparently 3 people are bronze medalists?

Interesting scenario.

[Apple202]

Bit late but amazed at how well were doing! woo team gb all da way!

Oh and from these games I've already decided I'm going to be a gymnast swimmer who does judo on the side

[Locke.]

Lets hope this girl wins the Gold

xQp0Jx1mdsI

[Jayson]

The German guy :worship:

[Jayson]

YES LOCKE

Shelly-Ann must win everything. Dat ass.

[Legend killer]

Damm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sally Pearson is pretty hot would defo smash/10

[Novo]

Come on Kellie wells

[Jayson]

omg

[Jayson]

Pearson :worship:

[Locke.]

A new Olympic record

[GypsyGoth]

That was good.

[Jayson]

The reaction <3

[Jords]

aw these top 2 :love:

[Legend killer]

Well done Sally

Would Make Sweet Love/10

[Munchkins]

YAY SALLY :D
wanted her to win so much

[muchadoaboutnothing]

The German guy winning the discuss Gold was brilliant. Loved the way he ran around the track shouting with delight and then jumping over the hurdles during his celebrations. Brilliant TV..

[Macie Lightfoot]

Harper was close! Hopefully will shut up about how she "has" Lolo's gold from Beijing

[MTVN]

Blake cut it a bit fine in that semi, Bolt running now

[Marc]

Blake and Bolt killing it

[Marc]

Well bolt did...

[MTVN]

Strolls into the final

[Marc]

Quite literally

[MTVN]

False start rules so dumb

[GypsyGoth]

It's nice to see all that drug taking paying off.

[Jayson]

Rude

[Jayson]

Fraser-Pryce about to win gold

[GypsyGoth]

This should be good :amazed:

[GypsyGoth]

Felix will win.

[Jayson]

Thought that Ivory Coast runner was from Ireland for a second

[Jayson]

You called it :sad:

[Jayson]

She doesn't even look happy

Fraser-Pryce was robbed

[GypsyGoth]

She doesn't even look happy

Fraser-Pryce was robbed

:laugh:

[Macie Lightfoot]

Fraser-Pryce was robbed? Anyone who remotel follows athletics should've known Felix would win.

[Novo]

he was obviously joking

[MTVN]

Jayson you idiot :mad:

[Shaun]

Osagie about to go in the 800m final :D

[Shaun]

and he was last :laugh:

wow @ Rudisha, new world record

[Marc]

What did I just miss :conf2:

[Shaun]

800m final

[Marc]

Ah cool, I don't want to miss the 200

[Shaun]

:o that relay, team USA were frighteningly fast

[Jayson]

200m final in 4 mins :o

[Marc]

I missed the relay heats.. daaaayyyumm..

C'mon Bolt :cheer:

[Marc]

That cheerleading cheer is so gaaay

:cheer2:

[Marc]

Would also like Christope Lemetrie to do well. He's the first white man to ever run under 10secs in 100m sprint.

Impressive.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Another great day for USA (even though I'm the only one who cares about them here probably) after yesterday's spectacular showing.

Eaton/Hardee are locks for 1-2 in the decathlon unless something tragic happens in the 1500, Taylor/Claye are 1-2 right now in TJ, and US women run 41.64 in 4x1 without Jeter and presumably Felix? If the handoffs are good (which is never a guarantee in a 4x1) the American record could be challenged!

[michael21]

history in the making only one man can win this

lighting bolt :dance:

[Shaun]

oh hello Christophe :evilgrin:

[Maia]

Here we are it's the Bolt :pipe:

[Jayson]

eek

[Marc]

oh hello Christophe :evilgrin:

I hear he finishes quickly... :-/

[Jayson]

Bolt wins :pipe:

[Shaun]

****ing hell Bolt D:

[Marc]

3 Jamaicans! :love:

[michael21]

the man did good :dance:

[Shaun]

Blake and him were miles ahead

LOL @ the press-ups

[Marc]

Was that Warren in 3rd?

[Maia]

Everyone fear The Bolt

[Locke.]

The Beast wins a Silver for the second time in a row

[Macie Lightfoot]

I'm not watching but I'm guessing a lot of camera hogging and obnoxious ridiculousness per usual :rolleyes:

[Marc]

The Beast will never beat Bolt in current form
