I think I could smash that walk

 

Not in front of the tv, what sort of speed do they do? I could do 7.5k per hour all day long, 6 and a half hours any good for a medal?

Might sneak a bronze

Indeed he might, it'll be a good achievement if he does, especially as he didn't look great last night. He's done well this morning though.

[maaarsh]

At least 2 of the Russians running to the naked eye, let alone slow mos.

 

Fucking stupid 'sport'

 

Like all the slower swimming strokes, I can not see the point in events where you're asked to cover distance but banned from going as quickly as possible.

There was a Chilean D/q for running after 2 hours, why after 2 hours Start running

13k+ per hour! The Aussie lying third walked a marathon in 3 hrs 8 mins.

Only Briton in the women's walk DQ'd around halfway.

The sprint relay final should be interesting as the last track event.

On times this season there is only 0.01 sec between Jamaica and USA.

Then some way back less than 0.25 sec between the other six!

We should be looking forward to a jog round for a bronze.

 

Alas not.

A race for a bronze - yes. A jog??? All of the other entrants ran faster last night that Great Britain has this year (including St Kitts, including Hong Kong.

We were disqualified, but what we were disqualified for certainly didn't speed us up. And that time would have been comfortably 3rd.

 

A clean final exchange and we'd have broken the national record; can't see any other countries matching that for 3rd.

[superjohnmcginlay]

Well That was pretty good

[Guest bwfcdan]

Mo Farrah!! Brill that!!

[miamiwhite]

superb effort Mo Farah,absolutely brilliant

 

 

unknown fact re Mo......................his mum had a python named after her and was married to the Bionic Man.........probably explains why he runs so fast

[MalcolmW]
