[RIO OLYMPICS // 12th - 21st August // BBCHD]

[Nicky91]

our dutch Dafne Schippers is gonna slay

[Headie]

Startlists for Day 1 are up:

https://www.iaaf.org/competitions/ol...imetable/byday

Men's 400m heats are seeded terribly imo. Some races really stacked whilst others fairly slow, and lane draws make no sense either. Also can't see Rabah Yousif for GB on the startlists??? (he was 5th at the World Champs last year in the 400)

[Headie]

Rabah Yousif out the 400 with a small muscle injury but should be fit for relay

Shame after his success last year </3

[Macie Lightfoot]

I'm watching an old meet on my DVR that I never got around to watching and Katharine Merry spent the entire 1500m throwing shade at Robby Andrews so consider me a fan of hers.

[Headie]

Katharine <333

She always does the stadium commentary/hosting at the British Champs and she does Eurosport commentary too, I love her <3

[Headie]

Although Kelly Sotherton is the shadiest of them all lmao

[Macie Lightfoot]

"aaaand at the back of the pack like always, Robby Andrews!"

"looks like Robby Andrews left his sprinting spikes at home tonight!"

[Black Dagger]

Mo, our heptathlon gals and Greg to slay and maybe an outside medal in something else that would slay k thanks x

[Novo]

Shame Isobel Pooley had to pull out but at least Morgan might have a chance of clearing 1.97 for the 100000th time

[Black Dagger]

Is that medal potential lol. I don't know how high these things go.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Greg can slay me iykwim

Most likely not but i don't think bronze will be far from that with Kuchina and Chirerova both out

[Headie]

Eilidh Doyle looks set to get a medal and all of our relay teams have a chance at bronze. Other than that not really any likely medallists, unless Chrissy O can work her magic again <3 Dina has a slim chance in the 200, as does Gemili. Grabarz may snatch bronze in the High Jump again

[Black Dagger]

Martyn Rooney imo!!!

[Headie]

[Black Dagger]

Lmao. He's so tragic

[Headie]

My ~ones to watch~ for Team GB before the action starts tomorrow:

-The obvious ones like Mo/Jess/Greg/Kat etc.
-The relay squads (all have a good chance at bronze)
-Laura Muir - 1500m (very good chance of a medal - just broke Kelly Holmes British Record)
-Dina Asher Smith & Adam Gemili - 200m (finalists)
-Eilidh Doyle - 400m Hurdles (potential medallist)
-Robbie Grabarz - High Jump (potential medallist)
-Matt Hudson-Smith - 400m (potential finalist)
-Andrew Pozzi - 110m Hurdles (potential finalist)
-Eliot Giles - 800m (young talent for the future - could be a surprise finalist)
-Lynsey Sharp & Shelayna Oksan-Clarke - 800m (potential finalists - sadly the top 3 is already guaranteed to be the 3 intersex athletes, so no medals for them)
-Charlie Grice & Chris O'Hare - 1500m (potential finalists)
-Shara Proctor - Long Jump (finalist, slim chance of a medal based on current form)

And of course queen Christine Ohuruogu in the 400m who always seems to find perfect form right at the start of major championships - I'd say she has a good shot of making the final, a medal might be out of reach though.

[Nicky91]

Go Dafne, make our country proud

[Headie]

[Black Dagger]

Ready for our queens 6th placed semi final <3

Ah Denise & Colin How I've missed you!

[Headie]

I'm not sure but I think this might be the first time the Olympic track has been blue?
