2013 Athletics Thread - World Championships

[Novo]

On BBC1 right now

Levine looking good in the 400m and ran a SB 46.34 but Dwain Chambers finishes 5th in 1st heat in 6.81 and doesn't even make fastest looser for the final..

[Black Dagger]

Watching this now.

Katarina Johnson Thompson is adorable.

[Novo]

Danielle Carruthers = GIP

[Novo]

Jeter outside the top 3

[Novo]

European Indoors start later on today at 9am, pretty sure BBC1 are airing all of it from 9-12 and then it's back on again later in the evening about 4ish

[Novo]

Shara Proctor 2nd in Long jump Qualifying.. behind Klishina

[Novo]

Perri shakes-drayton looking in great form in the 400m but Cox probably won't get a good enough time to qualify for the Semis

[Black Dagger]

Are any of our big-guns in this, or are they waiting for the World's in August :suspect:

[Novo]

Wouldn't really say massive names, there is no Jess, Mo or Greg, but saying that we still have enough to win 2/3 Golds i'd say, Perri looks in amazing form and Robbie Grabarz and Holly Bleasdale are in good form

[Novo]

Cox Qualified in the end with Perri and Childs, Perri got the fastest time and Childs 2nd

[Novo]

Klishina with a 7.01 world leading Jump

[Novo]

Good old Perri winning her Semi Final and safely through to the final

[Black Dagger]

floppy grabarz

[Novo]

Dasalou :worship:

[Novo]

Rogowska v Bleasdale in a jump off for the Gold medal

[Novo]

Holly Bleasdale wins Gold, about time :worship:

[Novo]

60m Final in 5 minutes, i hope Dasaolu gets a medal.. it would make up for Chambers and his awful form

[Black Dagger]

I think he got silver :amazed:

[MTVN]

Ouch nasty fall

[Black Dagger]

I didn't even see him fall :laugh:

Just saw Harry picking him up.

[Novo]

Great run, 1 Gold and 1 Silver so far.. not bad i suppose, Jenny Meadows and Perri should at least get Silver medals tomorrow and we have really strong relay teams as well

[Black Dagger]

Yeah I think our only potential medallist who didn't deliver so far is Robbie, shame he didn't enjoy being there.

[Black Dagger]

I suppose Shara should have been a medallist, but nvm.

[Novo]

Klishina is unbeatable when she's on it though and she nailed a 7.01 which is the best this year

http://i2.listal.com/image/3989115/936full-darya-klishina.jpg

The second greatest Russian ever behind Putin

[Novo]

Cox, Child and Perri all running in the 400m final in a couple of minutes

[Novo]

Perri just destroyed everyone to win Gold :worship: and Child won Silver as well, Cox was third for a while but couldn't keep it up

[Novo]

World leading time as well

[Novo]

Muktar Mohammed wins Bronze despite getting himself into awful positions in the race and being nudged a few times, 1 Gold, 1 Silver and 1 Bronze from 2 Races so far today

[Black Dagger]

Perri was amazing <3.

She'll be a real threat for Rio if she keeps it up. But she might also struggle because the Americans and Jamaicans are so strong.

[Black Dagger]

Aww, shame Jenny didn't medal there. She's done well though considering injuries.

[Novo]

Yeah Perri can push them i think, can remember when she held of Sanya Richards Ross in the Relay down the straight at Istanbul so she has it in her to contend with them

[Novo]

****.. thought Jenny would have least got some kind of Medal, looks like the Pace of the field in the Final killed her, it's alright leading in the Heats before the final because no one really pushes you to work hard

[Black Dagger]

Do we know the relay teams for this? I've not seen Adam Gemili yet this weekend. Is he in a team?

[Novo]

Yeah think he'll be in it, I'm guessing Levine, Bingham, Strachan and Gemili

[Novo]

Since were pretty much racing for Bronze here hopefully Malak beats Trenikhin.. there has been to many Russian wins so far

[Novo]

Maslak wins.. Levine Silver :worship:

[Novo]

Can't really get DQ'd for that either, Trenikhin moved in front of Levine

[Novo]

Levine and Big Pavel seem like good mates

[Novo]

The Russian **** trying to give it out :joker:

[Black Dagger]

LMAO. Levine just being like 'you what?' :laugh:

[Novo]

Big Pavel will sort him out

[Black Dagger]

Everybody keeps falling over.

[Novo]

We need to recruit some big butch lesbian Shotputters.. can't remember the last time we had a good one

[Black Dagger]

Tomlinson was supposed to be our medal hopeful in London wasn't he? But he flopped and Greg who wasn't expected to do well just slayed.

[Novo]

Yeah Tomlinson was hyped up as the better Jumper

[Novo]

Colin, Denise, and Jonathan are amazing, Paula is a bit boring though they could do with replacing her

[Black Dagger]

Denise is amazing in general.

Her jumping up and down when Mo won the 10,00m :lovedup:

[Novo]

And Colin's great " Here comes the big man " Quote :joker:

[Novo]

Golds in the Men and Women's Relay, 4 Gold Medals in total and we finished 2nd in the Medal table behind Russia

[Black Dagger]

We got DQ'd. ****ing outrageous decision. Appeal and appeal now.

[Novo]

**** sake, really? he hardly went off track

[Black Dagger]

Our Men relay teams always seem to get DQ'd :joker:

[Black Dagger]

He got pushed and recovered, bloody stupid. I hope the team tear them one. :bored:

[Black Dagger]

Oh wait. Reinstated. Good stuff.

Diamond League is on now

[Novo]

Jetter has just torn her leg to pieces trying to beat Fraser-Pryce, she'll probably be out for ages

[Novo]

Quad injury

[Alf]

Very impressive by James in the 400

[Headie]

Missed bloody half of it. The lack of advertisement is so annoying, and I have no idea what time it's always on in the UK.

[Headie]

I'm looking forward to the World Championship UK Trials and the World Champs too. Feels really far away, but hope it comes around quick.

Who do you guys think will have a good chance of winning a medal for Britain at the World Champs in August? I'm excited to see Shakes-Drayton, Gemili, Dasaolu, Ennis, Ohurugou, Meadows, Bleasdale and Grabarz. I'm hoping Adam Gemili will give the 200m a go this year as well, he was great when I saw him run the 200m at an event in Britain.

[Novo]

Perri has been on great form at the minute i think she can easily medal at the Worlds and Bleasdale winning her first Major gold should take a load of her shoulders now

[Legend killer]

Gay is looking scary good this year it could finally be time the true king takes his throne at the top of the 200 and 100 metre

[Headie]

Anyone watching the Great Manchester City Games right now?

Onoura, Shakes-Drayton, Rutherford, Adeoye and Child look in good form. Andy Turner is on next and Dwain Chambers is on later.

Also from 6pm on the BBC Red Button, the New York Diamond League meeting is on. I think Ohurogu's gonna be facing Richards-Ross in the 400m.

[Headie]

Lemaitre just beat Chambers by a mile. Chambers finished last behind Lemaitre, Collins and Ellington.

I can't see Chambers going to the World Championships this year.

[Novo]

Chambers may as well just retire now, Perri's form at the minute though >

[Legend killer]

In for tyson

the king is back

[Legend killer]

Another win for Tyson

Bolt and Blake avoiding him like the plaque want no part of a healthy Tyson

[Novo]

Bolt and Blake will destroy him when they eventually meet in a few months

[Legend killer]

Yeah don't think so. Tyson has the second quickest time in history while running injured. You don't think it's weird both have suddenly both got injuries once Tyson finally gets healthy?? Both are waiting and hoping he gets injured again

Can't wait for him too put both to the sword in both the 100m and 200m

[Black Dagger]

:joker:

[Headie]

I can't wait for the World Championships UK Trials. There'll be some good athletes looking to go to Moscow this year.

I've yet to see Gemili, Ennis or Okoro participating in any events yet, hopefully they will be performing great by the time the trials arrive.

Dasaoulu has a good shot of making the Worlds this year too. Is it 3 athletes maximum per event?

[Alf]

Usain Bolt taking on Justin Gatlin in the 100m, due off at 8.30pm on BBC3

[MTVN]

Gatlin :worship:

[Novo]

Doesn't really mean much, Bolt has been injured for a while

[Novo]

Jess Judd is going to dominate in years to come

[Legend killer]

Guess we will continue to ignore a healthy Tyson DESTROYING all before him while Bolt continues to avoid him

Can't wait for the WC'S justice will be served and the king takes his thrown

[Headie]

British World Trials this weekend (I am lucky enough to be attending Fridays heats!)

At the moment these are the athletes who will most likely get chosen for the world champs:

* = providing the athlete gets the A standard before selection

Men:
100m: James Dasaolu, Joel Fearon, Dwain Chambers* (would've put Gemili here but he doesn't have the A standard and isn't attending trials, although he could get 3rd spot if he gets the A standard at U23 European Championships and Chambers fails to get the A standard)
200m: James Ellington, Adam Gemili, Richard Kilty (if Christian Malcolm wins trials with an A standard time, he'll probably get the slot instead of Richard Kilty)
400m: Nigel Levine, Michael Bingham, Richard Strachan
800m: Michael Rimmer, Andrew Osagie*
1500m: None
5000m: Mo Farah
10000m: Mo Farah, Chris Thompson*
3000Msc: None
110mH: William Sharman*, Lawrence Clarke*
400mH: Dai Greene, Rhys Williams
HJ: Robbie Grabarz, Tom Parsons*
PV: Steve Lewis
LJ: Chris Tomlinson, Greg Rutherford (if he is fit enough to compete after his recent injury)
TJ: Nathan Douglas (can't see Phillips Idowu making the squad due to recent performances.)

EDIT: Phillips Idowu has stated that he is taking a break from Athletics)

Women:
100m: Anyika Onuora, Hayley Jones*
200m: Anyika Onuora, Margaret Adeoye
400m: Christine Ohurougu, (also Perri Shakes-Drayton & Anyika Onuora if they choose to compete in the 400m as well as their respective events and possibly Shana Cox if she gets the A standard)
800m: Marilyn Okoro, Jessica Judd
1500m: Hannah England, Lisa Dobriskey, Laura Weightman
5000m: Stephanie Twell*
10000m: None
3000mSC: None
100mH: Tiffany Porter
400mH: Perri Shakes-Drayton, Eilidh Child, Mehgan Beesley
HJ: None
PV: Holly Bleasdale
LJ: Shara Procter, Lorraine Ugen
TJ: Yamile Aldama*
Hept: Jessica Ennis-Hill (if she is in form, but she hasn't competed once this year)
(not too sure about throwing events at the moment)

The relay squad will probably consist of a combination of 4 any of these athletes
Men's 4x100: Adam Gemili, Dwain Chambers, James Dasaolu, Harry Aikeenes Aryteey, Danny Talbot, Richard Kilty, Joel Fearon
Men's 4x400: Nigel Levine, Michael Bingham, Richard Buck, Martyn Rooney, Conrad Williams, Richard Strachan, Luke Lennon-Ford
Women's 4x100: Anyika Onuora, Margaret Adeoye, Asha Phillip, Dina Asher-Smith (not too sure on this relay squad actually)
Women's 4x400: Christine Ohurougu, Perri Shakes-Drayton, Eilidh Child, Shana Cox, Anyika Onuora, Margaret Adeoye, Meghan Beesley

[Novo]

What about Katarina Johnson-Thompson? she'll be competiting in the Heptathlon won't she? some great names there though, Perri Shakes Drayton has been amazing this year probably the stand out name out of the younger athletes for me, Dai Greene has been on a massive downward spiral though ever since the Olympics

[Black Dagger]

Perri :lovedup:

I love the whole 400m relay girls line-up tbf. Christine and Perri are :love:

[Alf]

Do the BBC still have the same theme tune

This used to be my favourite sporting theme tune

EHyEXCq7uP8

[Headie]

What about Katarina Johnson-Thompson? she'll be competiting in the Heptathlon won't she?

Well she is at the European U23 Championships whilst the trials are ongoing (which is also why Gemili can't attend) and I think she'll only get chosen if she performs well there, otherwise I can see them just selecting Jessica Ennis-Hill (who btw hasn't even competed properly at all this year).

Am I the only one excited to see Christine Ohurougu run against her sister in the 400m? I'm sure Victoria Ohurougu will be a star of the future :love:

I really hope Perri runs in the 400m too, or at least gets selected for it and she agrees.

[Headie]

Surprise surprise.... Jessica Ennis-Hill has withdrawn from the trials this weekend. She has yet to compete in any events this year. I don't know how she thinks she's going to do well at Moscow, and I'm starting to doubt she'll even be picked at all.

Add this to the news that Phillips Idowu is taking a break from athletics and it's not looking good for Team GB.

[Novo]

Idowu's performances are always unpredictable anyway, can't say i'm really bothered about that and Jess tweeted that she isn't given up yet but Moscow is only a month away now and there isn't much hope of her competing anywhere near her best with less then a Month's training

[Headie]

James Dasaolu ran 9.91 today at the trials, but he didn't run in the final, however I still think he'll get picked for Moscow. Dwain Chambers won the trials with 10.04 and Harry Aikeenes-Aryteey finished 2nd with 10.08. They'll both most likely be going to Moscow too.

Dwain Chambers - 100m

Christine Ohurougu - 400m
Dai Greene - 400mH

The British Athletics team for the World Championships in Moscow will be selected tomorrow and the team will be released/confirmed on Tuesday.

Guess we will continue to ignore a healthy Tyson DESTROYING all before him while Bolt continues to avoid him

Can't wait for the WC'S justice will be served and the king takes his thrown

Tyson isn't going to the world championships anymore due to him testing positive in a drugs test. No wonder "healthy" Tyson was destroying everyone.

[Novo]

Can't wait, not sure what a realistic target for us is really, don't really think we should be to optimistic and expect a big medal haul since our usual best chances like Jess won't be at her best and Mo is obviously focusing more on Marathon running now, Grabarz has the potential but he is so inconsistent, Christine is in pretty good form as well but i dont expect her to win the 400m with the strength nowadays in that event

[Novo]

7.30 til 10.00 tonight, the first day of the Anniversary Games

[BigSister]

Looking forward to the world champs too but I agree not expecting many medals really. Be happy with one gold really

[Legend killer]

WTF was that from Bolt??? Now you can see why he has been avoiding Tyson would have been eating Tyson's ass from 20 metres onwards running like that

Usain Bolt the man with more * beside his name then Andy Murray

[Novo]

WTF was that from Bolt??? Now you can see why he has been avoiding Tyson would have been eating Tyson's ass from 20 metres onwards running like that

Usain Bolt the man with more * beside his name then Andy Murray

Tyson's achievements are all void now i'm afraid

[Legend killer]

LOVE IT!!!! Like Bolt fans like Novo have come crawling out of hiding since Tyson's injustice they were no where to be seen when he was ripping tracks up left right and centre

Bolt has NEVER beaten a healthy Gay sadly he had his chance this year and avoided him now I am afraid he will have * beside his name

[Novo]

Still void i'm afraid

[Legend killer]

BBC commentary team "That was a blistering performance from Bolt" U WOT MATE.JPG

To put Bolt's BLISTERING performance into context Tyson on one leg was running faster times last year

I'm sorry Bolt may get away with his rubbish when less knowledgeable sports fans are around but when i'm around the Bolt's , Young's of this world will be called out

Bolt your a great athlete however you will never be in Michael Johnson's league and sadly for your fans will never be in Tyson's either as you failed to take up the challenge and spiked his tests to save embarrassment at the WCS

[Novo]

He'll never be in Tyson's league as for as illegal substances are concerned i suppose, Tyson is the World Record holder in that department

[Alf]

Legend Killer what more does Bolt have to do for you to show him a little bit of respect?

He's won the Gold medal in the last two Olympics in both 100m and 200m.
He's won the Gold medal in the World Championships in 100m, and won the past two gold medals in the 200m

Oh yeah he's also the World record holder at both 100m and 200m, just to put that in perspective for you, it means he's the fastest human being that's ever lived.

So what's your negativity? are you jealous? or are you just too proud to admit when your wrong? it takes a real man to do that

I'd put Bolt in the top five greatest sportsman of all time

I'm not sure, at first i thought he was a wind up merchant, but now i think he really believe's his own Bullsh*t

[Legend killer]

Legend Killer what more does Bolt have to do for you to show him a little bit of respect

The simple answer is he has to beat a Healthy Tyson Gay. And with Tyson being healthy for the first time in 4 years Usain had his chance to put me and other "haters" in our place but sadly he refused the challenge and AVOIDED EVERY event Tyson competed at

All the titles you won are great achievements no doubt and among the less knowledgeable poster ala Brother Leon they will prove Usain was the GOAT of his era (Don't think about comparing him to MJ BRB 100 200 AND 400 with very little benefit of sporting advancements) however among sporting historians like myself we will understand that

A. He NEVER beat a Fit Tyson in any of the major events
B. He never beat a fit Tyson Period and spent a whole year avoiding him once he became fit
C. Last time he met a fit Tyson at a major event he was eating Tyson's ass in both the 100 and 200

No lie I never really liked Usain before this year. However it grew to HATE when he shamelessly avoided Tyson who was fit for the first time in 4 YEARS

[Legend killer]

Wannashag what more does The Legend Killer have to do for you to show him a little bit of respect???

He's p4p the number 1 poster on TIBB
He's got a record amount of 50 comment thread's even though he does not post anything BB related

Oh yeah he's NEVER avoided a challenger unlike Bolt. He has taken on the likes of Brother Leon , MTVN , Marc , Locke , Novo and Iceman to name a few (many at the same time I might add) and has conquered each and every one of them.Just to put that in perspective for you, it means I am UNDEFEATED in sporting debates with a win loss percentage of 100%

So what's your negativity? are you jealous? or are you just too proud to admit when your wrong? it takes a real man to do that

.

Because FC are the greatest rugby team

However its Bailey Rhinos all day every day we got bigger fish to try in winning another super league crown

Why do you keep going on about a 'healthy Tyson'? He's been on drugs for the whole season!!!

[Legend killer]

So he decided not to use drugs in the lead up to the biggest event in athletics when he had ZERO preparation and had not raced in 2 years when he would really have needed the drugs YET he decides to use them when he is injury free for the first time in 4 years with all his main competition "INJURED"

LOGIC/10

[Alf]

C'mon the Mo-bot

On BBC1 now 10,000m

[GypsyGoth]

Mo :worship:

He looks like he's being chased by a killer when he runs for the finishing line.

[Jack_]

Get in Mo :D

[Headie]

Hooray for Mo! Dasaolu only just snuck into 100m semi's via fastest loser spot, but Christine Ohuruogu looks very strong in the 400m so far. Hopefully she can pull out a win in the final.

Looking forward to seeing Perri, Dai and Johnson-Thompson in their first events soon.

[Black Dagger]

Shara looked good in her jump as well, hopefully she can pick up a medal in the final, she's been on form the past few months.

Ah yes, Shara got the best mark in the heats, as did Christine in the 400m, so hopefully both can come away with a medal at the very least (although Gold would be much better)

[BigSister]

lol at the killer comment although he does in some way. Still if he wins im not complaining
Ill cheer anyone on british so looking forward to the next week. Missed athletics so much

[Novo]

Darya was just getting warmed up yesterday, Shara has no chance against her in the final

[Headie]

Get in! Dasaolu in the 100m final! Feels like ages since a Brit has made the final in the 'golden event'.

[Novo]

DARYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Novo]

oh no maybe not

[Black Dagger]

what a flop.

[Novo]

Shara is a bigger flop though

[Black Dagger]

Shara came 6th and Darya 7th :pipe:

[Novo]

Darya jumped the same distance as the winner today in the Juniors, today wasn't to be for the future goat

Just give us Bolt....all these jobbbers. It's like Olympics again just waiting for the king.

[Novo]

shut your mouth and watch Big Seb Coe talking about the good old days

[Legend killer]

Bolt is running for his legacy right now

Anything slower then 9.80 and he just proves he was avoiding Gay for the best part of a year

[Legend killer]

How cute he went life and death with an injured Gatlin LOOOOOOL

Continue to be fooled by the media folks

9.77

Can you be quiet now please

[Legend killer]

9.78s that something to be proud off LOOOOL Tyson on one leg without ANY TRAINING was running that

How the mighty have fallen

[Novo]

You expected the GOAT to run slower then 9.80 (stupidly) and it has backfired on you, even a drugged up Tyson can not possibly compete with him

[Legend killer]

This guy has the nerve to walk around the place as if he is Floyd the GOAT Mayweather when he is going life and death with an injured Gatlin

Sorry Bolt joins Manny and Kobe in the overhyped by the media club I am afraid and until he defeats a healthy Tyson he will remain there

[Novo]

Bolt is the GOAT just accept it and move on, Tyson hasn't even got a 100m Olympic Medal, shows how much of a Jobber he is

[Legend killer]

Please don't go there kid your embarrassing yourself. Not even the GOAT of his own sport and your trying to compare him to a man who is fighting a fighter who is Undefeated , 10+ years his senior and will weigh 20+ more pounds then him

I am talking about Athletics here, save the boxing talk for the boxing thread where i will gladly educate you again

The funny thing is someone like Mo who has the "English training" LOOOL is actually a better all round athlete then Usain even though he would not sniff prime Bekele's ass. Dominates the 5000 and 10 000 has won world cross country championships and has won events in the 1500 yet you can't see past the "oh look mum he runs really fast" mentality.

Let's look at Bolt

100 - Avoided his only real competitor when he got healthy
200 - Has dominated in a poor 200 field with his only competitor being injured
400 - Realised he was gonna suck ass and ditched the idea


LOOOOL GOATS GONNA GOAT

Compare a 100m runner with a Distance Runner #LegendKillerLogic

[Legend killer]

WHAT LOOOOOL!!!!! I'm comparing an athlete to another athlete.

Your claiming he is the GOAT in his sport which is a thing called Athletics so I bring out another athlete and you complain loool

I actually can't believe what I have just read and further proves you don't know **** past the "look mum he runs really fast" mentality.

WOW JUST WOW

[Legend killer]

Just quickly you do realise the 100 metres is not a sport on it's own right???? It is an event which is part of a sport called Athletics the same sport Bekele takes part in

[Legend killer]

Somebody come and save young Novo he is drowning faster then he did in his listing of British stars debacle

[Novo]

Compare Bolt to another 100m athlete in the same event.. not an athlete in a totally different event all together, you going to compare Phelps to Ben Ainslie next? Distance Running is a totally different thing unless of course you think Bekele can run 100m in 10 seconds (which i wouldn't be surprised if you did think that)

then again you did actually try and compare another 100m runner to Bolt but it turned out he was a drug cheat so well done

The Hammer Throw and Pole Vault are both Athletic sports as well, totally different events though.. just like 100m and Long Distance running is totally different, think you need to watch more sports

WHAT THE **** AM I READING.

I'm gonna let your embarrassing comment of suggesting a person from Sailing and Swimming is the same comparison as comparing to athletes (which you never answered) for a sec and point out one thing quickly

In your earlier posts you said
I am talking about Athletics here, save the boxing talk for the boxing thread

So if you didn't want me to educate you by showing you an athlete who has dominated more events then Bolt has World Records you should have said

I am talking about Sprinting here, save the boxing talk for the boxing thread

As your moaning about me talking about another athlete suggests you were not talking ATHLETICS as you earlier indicated



/DISSCUSSION utterly sloppy workmanship

[Legend killer]

The final blow has been landed

YOU HAVE BEEN EDUCATED!!!!!!!!!!!

[Novo]

Yes i was talking about Athletics because the 100m is a part of Athletics.. the same way Distance Running is but i wouldn't compare Athletes who compete in different events directly to each other because that is she wrong in many ways, the reason i said you might as well compare Phelps and Ainslie is because the preperation and training for the 100m and 10,000m is totally different it is just insane to compare them to each other just like you were....

Just remember i wasn't the one who compared Bolt to Bekele and then tried to justify it by saying OH IT IS ALL A PART OF ATHLETICS!!!!!!! how about Hammer throw and Long Jump then???? you going to compare the GOATS of those two sports to each other???? you talk so much bull**** it is unreal and the sad part is you try to justify it over and over again but you sound even worse everytime you do, BRB going to compare Darya Klishina to Sally Pearson

You lost the argument as soon as you compared Bolt to Bekele because you know a 100m runner doesn't touch Bolt.. sorry you can't just pick someone from a different event and pit them against Bolt, unless off course your a clown who thinks both events are the same

Novo wins xxx

[Macie Lightfoot]

You expected the GOAT to run slower then 9.80 (stupidly) and it has backfired on you, even a drugged up Tyson can not possibly compete with him

I mean a 9.77 isn't all that faster than a 9.80 so I wouldn't call it a stupid expectation, and a drugged up Tyson ran 9.75 this year so he could possibly compete with him. But yeah this whole thing is ridiculous.

And in other news, impressive to see Reese pull off her 6th straight championship LJ title, Eaton was good as always, Nixon had a tremendous first day and should only get better in years to come, and Gardner killed her preliminary. But I'm an American so I don't expect anyone to care about this.

Brother Leon and Lucas > You

i think it is time for you to Wiki Athletics and then check how many different events there are that are very different from each other.. so yes that means you can't just compare different events within Athletics, don't know how many more times i have to tell you this until it sinks in.. 100m is totally different then 10,000m..

Unless you do a compromise like the whole Bolt and Mo thing and do 600m you'll never know who is better out of the two ( which is the whole reason for this Bolt and Mo thing at the minute ) get with it Jobber

[Headie]

Ugh, can you take this to PMs please?

I came here to talk about the level of world-class athletics happening in Moscow, not to watch a pointless argument that can be done privately.

Anyway, glad to see PSD through to the semi's in the fastest time. Shocked @ Moline falling and finishing in last and Kaliese Spencer being DQ'ed. Hoping for an Ohuruogu win tonight!

Pole vault champ Yelena Isinbayeva backs Russian anti-gay law

http://www.cbc.ca/gfx/images/sports/photos/2013/08/15/isinbaeva-940.jpg

Pole vault great Yelena Isinbayeva condemned homosexuality Thursday after criticizing fellow competitors who painted their fingernails in rainbow colours to support gays and lesbians in the face of a new anti-gay law in Russia.

The Russian, who won her third world title Tuesday in front of a boisterous home crowd, came out in favour of the law which has drawn sharp criticism and led Western activists to call for a boycott of next year's Winter Olympics in the Russian resort of Sochi.

"If we allow to promote and do all this stuff on the street, we are very afraid about our nation because we consider ourselves like normal, standard people," Isinbayeva, a two-time Olympic champion, said in English. "We just live with boys with woman, woman with boys.

"Everything must be fine. It comes from history. We never had any problems, these problems in Russia, and we don't want to have any in the future."

Another sprint double for Mr Bolt

That's two Olympic sprint double Golds
And now Two World championship sprint double Golds
Add to that he's the World record holder in both sprint events

That would suggest he's the greatest sprinter of all time

But apparently he's not in the same league as Tyson Gay, and no amount of history he creates will change that, right LK?

Surprise Surprise Bekele(past his prime) ABUSED Mo

There is a reason Mo's dominance occurred whilst Bekele got old

[MTVN]

Mo would have passed him comfortably if there was room, too narrow for that last 200m though and a disgraceful show of gamesmanship by Bekele blocking him off

[Legend killer]

OAP Bekele wiping the floor with PRIME Somalia's finest Farah

Would be worried if I was Mo apparently Bekele is starting to take his training serious again

Just so you all know the Glasgow Indoor International Match is on tomorrow on BBC1 @ 13:45.

It's the normal USA vs GB format except this time Scotland & a Commonwealth Select Team will be competing too. Should be good! So excited for the Athletics season to finally start again!

[Headie]

Some good performances yesterday. Dasaolu looks set to be dominant again this year. Laura Muir did well too.

Next match is the British Indoor Championships/World Indoor Trials which will be streamed on the BritishAthletics website on 8th and 9th of Feb.
