There's something about Shaunae Miller which I LOVE and I can't pinpoint what it is

I think it's her all-or-nothing running style

Headie 07-08-2017 07:57 PM

yikes Quanera Hayes

Headie 07-08-2017 08:04 PM

Felix is such a majestic runner :flutter:

Headie 07-08-2017 08:05 PM

Oop she didn't win tho :o

Macie Lightfoot 07-08-2017 08:13 PM

wow Phyllis Francis looked pretty good

Headie 07-08-2017 08:13 PM

Wait when did Francis switch from a weave to a Will Smith haircut

Headie 07-08-2017 08:18 PM

Novlene Williams-Mills makes her SIXTH consecutive 400m final :o

Headie 07-08-2017 08:21 PM

Oh and moments after I say the BBC ignore Semenya's intersexuality they do a whole VT on how Laura Muir's 1500m triumph may be halted by Semenya's controversial participation if Semenya wins :rolleyes:

Headie 07-08-2017 08:22 PM

Oh and a Lynsey Sharp interview flashback complaining about testosterone levels

Headie 07-08-2017 08:23 PM

I'm PRAYING Semenya wins just to piss the BBC and everyone else off (and win me money :fan:), idec if Laura's in it she's not in the right form to win anyway

Headie 07-08-2017 08:25 PM

This is actually really distasteful even by the BBC's standards

Headie 07-08-2017 08:27 PM

In all of this BS there's actually a Triple Jump final going on :rolleyes:

Macie Lightfoot 07-08-2017 08:27 PM

I don't follow Muir all that closely but she seems like someone who puts up ridiculously impressive times during the season but then struggles to put it all together when it matters. IDK if that's an accurate assessment though.

The Hungarian hurdler looks very nice btw :)

Yeah that's pretty much it tbh, she can follow a pacemaker and set fast times but when there's not a pacemaker there she becomes the pacemaker

Headie 07-08-2017 08:36 PM

I wanted Aries Merritt to win, probably my favourite American athlete tbh (although Bowie won me over in her winner's interview last night too <3) but happy that Jamaica finally gets a gold (probably their only individual gold of the champs as well, if not their only gold?)

Headie 07-08-2017 08:40 PM

Alol the BBC telling us Laura Muir is "2nd fastest on paper" going off her PB instead of her SB

Headie 07-08-2017 08:41 PM

#MUIRTIME with a countdown clock to the race :facepalm:

This is why people don't care about Athletics in Britain, over-pressured expectations on our athletes

Headie 07-08-2017 08:45 PM

Rojas and Ibarguen keep swapping the lead in the Triple Jump (not that we'd know)

Ibarguen with the final jump now to respond...

Headie 07-08-2017 08:47 PM

Rojas wins it, two medals for Venezuela :love:

Macie Lightfoot 07-08-2017 08:49 PM

NBC is saying that Muir is rumored to take the lead and push the time to her advantage. Let's see how well that goes!

BBC just said the same, and that Hassan is gonna take it hard from 500m

Headie 07-08-2017 08:53 PM

Oh God Laura is gonna make the same mistake she did in Rio

Headie 07-08-2017 08:54 PM

All this just to try and tire Semenya out lmao

Headie 07-08-2017 08:56 PM

What a mess of a race this is

Macie Lightfoot 07-08-2017 08:57 PM
