Meenzer 15525 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 We turned on just as that lass was dropping out and were absolutely convinced it was Radcliffe until they showed her from the front. Now that's confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia 0 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 About how long does it take them to run the marathon? 2 and a half hours. This is the first time i've watch it and it actually dawned on me how fucking hard it must be. I'd have been knackered less than a kilometre in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15525 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I reckon Mara Yamauchi could spring a surprise and grab a medal Oh well, not far off. And you can say what you like about sending crocks to the Olympics, but Radcliffe did bloody well, all things considered. And apparently Liz Yelling broke a rib when she fell halfway through, so ditto for her. Not exactly a classic night. Two thumbs up for the Romanian granny who won it though, only one who had the guts to try and make a race of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima 0 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Phelps owes Lezak a hell of a lot after both last legs in the relays But an absolutely amazing achievement, 8 golds, 7 WRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44864 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Are there any plans to get good at athletics between now and 2012? I used to love watching it but it's shite when we've got zero world class athletes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15525 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Quite fancy Andy Baddeley for a medal in the 1500m after the semis. Big Christine O. should get silver in the 400m too. Other than that, Idowu will probably screw up as usual, Sotherton was depressingly average and even the relays aren't looking too crash-hot now that Jamaica are the best country in the world at everything ever.

Gemmill 44864 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Was loving the Jamaicans getting a 1-2-3 and keeping the yanks out of the medals. The lass who won looks about 10 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smooth Operator 10 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Was loving the Jamaicans getting a 1-2-3 and keeping the yanks out of the medals. The lass who won looks about 10 though. Did you see the interview with her, she's got train-track braces on and has a thick Jamaican accent, couldn't understand a word she was saying and neither did Colon Jackson and Michael Johnson. Was mental, sounded a bit Geordie at times too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
