White sprinter alert. Russian in Women's 400m finals.

 

[Ronok]

What an amazing finish that was... Shame she couldn't get the gold though.

 

[AngryMoth]

YES CHRISTINE! What an effort for silver

 

[Threi]

Mmmmmm sanya richards-ross :d

 

[D_prOdigy]

For all the people saying she has no quality, Christine did a fine, fine job.

 

[Meadows]

great run Christine!!!

 

[Steelrain]

FUUUCKKKK YESSSSSSS!!! GOLD FOR USA


GREAT JOB RICHARDS ROSS!!

 

[keit4]

Very hyped for the 100m final.

 

[Atrophis]

Fuckin hell how does she do it every time. Christine is amazing.

 

[NekoFever]

You don't go all out in the 400? People push the body to its full limits in every distance, they're just going faster in the 100 because it's shorter. The idea that they aren't going "all out" is nonsense.

The point is that they're going faster. It's pure speed, hence the winner being called the fastest man in the world.

 

[mxgt]

Fuck yeah Christine

 

[LegoArmo]

Richards-Ross is sexy.

 

[Big-E]

Richards Ross is from the same town as Bolt and Blake. Someone needs to bottle and sell their water.

 

[Juicy Bob]

What a final 100m by Christine.

 

[Brazil]

lol Krivoshapka.

 

[Sky Chief]

All out as in as fast as you can go from the off. 100m is a little too far to maintain top speed to the finish, but it's a nice round number.

 

[krishian]

Russia chokes again, damn

Good job with grabbing that silver GB!

 

[ezrarh]

Thank goodness for American women.

 

[MasterShotgun]

And Christine with that well deserved silver. That was some powerful acceleration at the end.

 

[McNei1y]

It's awesome how the runners can just turn on the jets.

 

[woodchuck]

[StriKeVillain]

Richards-Ross is sexy.

Oh yes she is. Great running too.

Used to run the 400/800m in high school. My two favorite events to watch.

 

[Wes]

Well done Christine! Thougth she almost had it at the end.

[fuenf]

Well it's the least she could do, she cost us the gold.

 

[PaulLFC]

0.15 seconds behind!

 

[nny]

heh, two twins in the 400m final.

 

[Biggzy]

Ohuruogu was eating the yards at the end.

 

[Dr.Acula]

All out as in as fast as you can go from the off. 100m is a little too far to maintain top speed to the finish, but it's a nice round number.

Some sprinters are still accelerating as they cross the line. Top speed probably comes somewhere between 80 and 120 metres.

 

[Trey]

Thank goodness for American women.

That women's volleyball team is crucial.

 

[L1NETT]

Well done Christine, great race

Hats of to the US athlete.

 

[Meadows]

amazing, Laura Robson is cheering Murray up during the medal ceremony. she radiates happiness.

[Hoo-doo]

Lol, my BBC HD 3D channel is literally in split-screen. Stupid.

 

[Brazil]

Well it's the least she could do, she cost us the gold.

And got you a Silver.

smh at reactions like this. So unbelievably salty and ungrateful.

 

[AngryMoth]

Christine didn't look that happy, hope she isn't disappointed it was an incredible effort she should be very proud. edit: looking happy now doing a lap of honour

 

[3Sixty]

Only 3rd time Ohuruogu has run under 50 seconds

Olympics, World Champs, Olympics
