Olympic Athletics Thread (4 Gold; 1 Silver; 1 Bronze)

[Marc]

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

The cameras go ON him, he doesn't go to the camera :laugh:

[Locke.]

4 years from now The Beast will have that Gold Medal

[Macie Lightfoot]

The cameras go ON him, he doesn't go to the camera :laugh:

The cameras go on him for the reasons stated

[Me. I Am Salman]

Why did he slow down at the end?!!

[Jayson]

Because he knew he wasn't going to get a WR

[Marc]

The cameras go on him for the reasons stated

Possibly

[Marc]

SO MANY athletes actually slow down right near the end, it scurrs me

[Munchkins]

Usain Bolt... just phenomenal - amazing as per usual :)

[Macie Lightfoot]

Possibly

Possibly? He wouldn't get as much attention and hoopla about him if he wasn't the showboating jerk he is.

[SoBig]

Possibly? He wouldn't get as much attention and hoopla about him if he wasn't the showboating jerk he is.
:joker::joker:

Nah, its not like he is the greatest Olympian ever or anything like that. Not like he backs it up with World Records.

Bolt>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Any current US athlete.

[Legend killer]

Shame Bolt can't do it against a FIT Tyson

World Champs 07 got his ass spanked in both the 100 and 200
2011 Stockholm Gay tapped that ass with ease

Tyson will never get the respect he deserves SECOND FASTEST MAN OF ALL TIME ON ONE LEG

[Legend killer]

:joker::joker:

Nah, its not like he is the greatest Olympian ever or anything like that. Not like he backs it up with World Records.

Bolt>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Any current US athlete.

I think Kobe in this Olympics has proved he is the greatest player in any sport the grace the olympics TBH

Bolt>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Any current US athlete.

I guess the name Ashton Eaton means nothing to you.

But Usain Bolt wouldn't be getting nearly as much attention if it wasn't for his obnoxious camera antics. That's a fact with how the media is in today's society. Nobody knew what the **** to do last year at Worlds when he false started because he was on every reporter's script and then nobody had a clue who Yohan Blake was :joker: same **** is happening with Lolo Jones and Dawn Harper right now, the media (at least in the US, can't speak for the UK) is awful.

[Shaun]

Women's 5000m final just started, two Britons - Jo Pavey & Julia Bleasdale - are in it :D

[Shaun]

Bleasdale's in 4th atm, 2 laps to go :amazed:

[Shaun]

awww they got 7th and 8th

[Shaun]

:o world record for women's 100m relay, Team USA smash it :worship:

[Legend killer]

[Macie Lightfoot]

I'm happy for USA breaking the WR (held by the East Germans in 1980, so it's obviously a drugged one) but I can't believe the bull**** of leaving Jeneba Tarmoh out of the relay. Shame on USATF, seriously.

[Locke.]

Mo's race is in 10 minutes, Bolt up at 9pm for the relay, and GB women in the relay at 8.25

Arnie Schwarzenegger in the crowd

[Marc]

Bolt back to win more medals

[Marc]

Caster on later too, hope she wins

[Marc]

Arnie Schwarzenegger in the crowd

My highlight of the night.

[Black Dagger]

I will try not to cry if Mo gets his gold tonight like last week.

[Marc]

[Marc]

Lucas dun cry

[skkc16]

Can Mo do it?

[Novo]

£5 E/W on Hagos Gebrhiwet at 18/1, easy money

[Black Dagger]

If I'm crying at ****ing Equastrian gold medals then I definitely will if Mo wins again.

Not sure SKK, he said he was tired when he was running in his heat the other day, but hopefully with a few days he's composed himself.

He won the 5000m last year at the World Championships.

[Black Dagger]

Oh it was this year when he won that.

I have faith.

[Marc]

Can Mo do it?

There's Mo question about it, he will

[Marc]

:pipe:

[Shaun]

:( I'm going to miss the Olympics

GO MO :worship:

[Marc]

[Novo]

[Jayson]

[Novo]

**** sake it wasn't Gebrhiwet who finished 2nd

[Locke.]

Mo wins and Gebrhiwet finishes 2nd.. couldn't have gone any better

He fell off in the last lap, it was some other guy from the same country with a similar name that came second

[Novo]

Gebrhiwet wasn't even in the top 8

[Locke.]

You cost me £2 with that terrible tip

[Jayson]

Novo you bastard

[Novo]

I have lost £10 here, i am the victim

[Locke.]

[Shaun]

[Jayson]

It's all in jest Shaun

Or should I say Shaunessa :suspect:

[Marc]

Lucas are you eMOtional?

[Marc]

Good lad Mo, did well

[Marc]

And Caster was good too, wonder if she deliberately didn't win

[Marc]

[Marc]

Why don't you have sex with him Locke :idc:

[skkc16]

He annoys me so much. Bolt is so much better and more natural with it

[Locke.]

I am saving myself for Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce

[Marc]

Canada DQF in that 4 x 400m

[lostalex]

Yea Blake is annoying. Blake is to Lochte, as Bolt is to Phelps.

Don't like Lochte or Blake, they are just trying too hard.

....and the panther claws look really freaking stupid. Exactly like Locte's dumb grills.

[lostalex]

Canada DQF in that 4 x 400m

did you see what they were DQ's for? i missed it. did they go out of their lane?

[Macie Lightfoot]

Yea Blake is annoying. Blake is to Lochte, as Bolt is to Phelps.

Don't like Lochte or Blake, they are just trying too hard.

....and the panther claws look really freaking stupid. Exactly like Locte's dumb grills.

:joker: at Lochte/Blake trying too hard and Bolt/Phelps not. They all try too hard because it's all about marketing and "entertainment."

[Shaun]

don't you mean 4x100m relay that Canada were disqualified in? (that Jamaica won)

[Marc]

Ya x

[lostalex]

so what were they DQ'd for?? someone tell me!

[Novo]

[MTVN]

Was just about to post that, amazing :joker:

[lostalex]

he's so corny lol

[Macie Lightfoot]

"It's hard to have an opinion of Usain Bolt higher than he has of himself" the one good thing to have come out of NBC's ****ty broadcast of the Olympics.
