Apparently, no.  No, we do not ever practice handoffs at fucking all for our relays.  That's fucking embarrassing - just spend a few hours on it in the weeks beforehand and we'd have gold.  But no, we're just going to count on pure speed in an event where fumbling around for 3-4 seconds over the race fucks you.

No, the tape some of the runners are wearing when they walk out onto the track.  Half of them drop it there at the locker room exit.

Thought he was asking about the yellow tape on track, which the US was past on their hand-off. Hence, DQ... sigh.

GB lost that with two horrendous handoffs.  That'll eat you up inside.

And US men follow them. Crap... That was some really bad handoffs

It made my eyes bleed.  I’m half surprised the Chinese didn’t win just to really rub salt in the wounds.

Not saying you’re wrong but Where are you getting this from?

 

I don’t think that’s true at all.

although at this point spending a few hours in the shrink’s office might be the best use of time.

Kenny should've ran anchor. You can't switch up two legs for the final. That's asking for disaster. Still probably would've left too early but who knows. Maybe he would've settled down before the stick got to him.

[Hornius Emeritus 12794]

U.S. needs to just get about four of its strongest sprinters, get them to agree to not run in any of the individual sprints, pay them a princely sum for four years, sequester them, and have them train just for this event.  With just a little bit of preparation we'd win every time.

Naw - they rack up all their golds in table tennis (4), badminton (2), diving (7) and shooting (5) - you know, where true athletic ability shines ...

[Stringer 1487]

How involved was Lyles in the practices? Maybe his drop out effected things too.

Just venting - but if they are practicing, it would seem they are doing it wrong.

Was waiting for this. It’s usually the default when this happens but never going to happen.

never going to get 4 guys in an individual sport to agree to become a “team” for one event… at least not 4 guys that are fast enough to come close to winning. 

[MrX 803]

Epic fucking fail again

Unless Sydney decided to run without hurdles. That would be an event.

No kidding. Total brain cramp. Almost like a swimming relay person jumping into the pool after swimming with the race still going on. Situational awareness

Missed it, what happened?

[shadow_operative2.0 16249]

Threw her best javelin, everything was cool, then she did a little bunny hop over the foul line. 

[AUinHsv 584]

To be clear - she stopped short of the line after an huge throw. While staring at it she deiced to do a bunny hop which went over the line.

3 straight Golds in that event is rather impressive.

We only get change if you sing the national anthem again, Carl!

Just tossing this out. Say whatever you want about Lewis but he knew how to win in relays. World record here

 

[dcar00 14931]

well at least they didn't disappoint us actually win the thing.  fucking idiots, the lot of them.

OJ on the call,  do you still get to put tape down like Lewis is doing in the video?

Wtf did Valby just do?

She started way outside on the back, so she should have been on the lower path...the other runner that was right in front of her is the one who screwed up by taking the outside path.

[AUinHsv 584]

Were there no prelims for the womens 10K? That is a huge number of runners.  Otherwise they just decided that the finals should have 25 or so.

[Jive Turkey 12975]

poor girl getting lapped with 7 laps to go in the women's 10k.  that sucks.

[AUinHsv 584]

What just happened there. The lead group comes out of the turn and they have a stretcher and stuff picking someone up in lane 3

[WBT 20958]

Just catching up.  We need some corches on the field for our men's 4x100

[0xdeadbeef 1699]

Once again another great Race. Damn, Parker stirred the hornet's nest.

 

[AUinHsv 584]

If I am the Italian coach I would consider a protest. That was a marginal block. I don't think it changes the result but the winner moved way outside lane 1 there

[Fudge Nuggets 19420]

My man Hibbert must have had a slight injury at the end of the triple jump. He was in 4th and didn’t take any of his last three attempts. 

[AUinHsv 584]

Whats the back story on the 3 ex Cubans that now jump for Spain or Portuagal. Didn't think Cuba allowed athletes to leave.

[Fudge Nuggets 19420]

Rai kicked they asses.
