BBC 100m montage time

 

[killer_clank]

Only 3rd time Ohuruogu has run under 50 seconds

Olympics, World Champs, Olympics

Clutch.

She's amazing at performing when it really matters, jesus.

 

[giga]

What's with the arm warmers?

"Summer"

 

[mrklaw]

Blake will break Bolt.

The two of them racing each other may just acheive warp.

 

[BrokenSymmetry]

Another dubstep montage on the BBC.

 

[TrueBlue]

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

This was her first Olympics, and she was instrumental in getting a mixed doubles Silver for us. Give her a break.

 

[AngryMoth]

she cocked it up pretty badly

To be fair it wasn't all her fault. Murray missed some important shots in the 2nd set

 

[Nemo]

Anyone see this story about the South Korean fencer? Fucking hell, so sad and unjustified, but also the sheer stupidity of it all and the officials not trying to set things right, but instead making things much worse :/

[Hoo-doo]

BBC 100m montage time

I love it, speakers booming.

 

[mxgt]

And got you a Silver.

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

And truthful.

 

[Big-E]

also richards-ross is a UT Austin grad. Her and destinee hooker (another Longhorn) dominating right now.

And she is born in the same Jamaican town as Bolt and Blake. I don't think its a big city either so that is crazy.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

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

I'm sure he'll return the favour and put a smile on her face tonight.

 

[jett]

Yes, the most awesome moment of the olympics coming up bitchz

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Campbell gets GB's first boxing medal

 

[GTP_Daverytimes]

China Slowly leaving USA behind in the Medal count and Gold count, looks like Jemma the Psychic Raccoon was right.

After 40000 posts you don't think this has been talked to death at this point?

 

[Meadows]

To be fair it wasn't all her fault. Murray missed some important shots in the 2nd set

2 double faults in the 3rd set killed us

 

[mclem]

I've seen a Brit get a medal!

Go Christine! Wasn't really expecting one today.

Weird seeing a slver medallist doing a lap of honour, but understandable.

 

[Brazil]

And truthful.

Well, boohoo.

 

[justjohn]

Maurice green is still my favourite 100m of all time. Cocky, arrogant, brash, in your face and just exciting to watch.

 

[Hunter S.]

The US women's volleyball team is so good I get bored by the dominance, but stick around for the legs.

 

[Joel Was Right]

Can someone explain to me why they changed the rules to now disqualify first time false starters? Seems unfair to me

 

[Big-E]

We got like 30 minutes till the big one. So excited. You could be running under 9.7 maybe and not even medal.

 

[Nemo]

I just found it out of the blue, is there a topic?

 

[Mecha_Infantry]

This BBC montage of the 100m is amazing!

 

[Keyser Soze]

BBC is dropping promo video bombs, god dammit

 

[LegoArmo]

That song was awesome.

Some runners were purposedly abusing the first false start to ruin the concentration of others.

 

[Meadows]

Can someone explain to me why they changed the rules to now disqualify first time false starters? Seems unfair to me

so people don't play the rules

 

[danwarb]

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

I saw BBC documentary a few weeks ago about the 100m. They say the runners who come through at the end aren't slowing as much, but everyone slows, and if they aren't slowing at all they're probably doped up.

People would false start and mess up others concentration.

 

[McNei1y]

hammer throw spins are crazy

 

[Hoo-doo]

Like the guy said, it's simple. Just wait for the gun.

 

[mrklaw]

Anybody watching this in 3D on the BBC HD channel?

 

[Zaph]

That 'Bang Bang' montage was awesome.

 

[duderon]

Jager time! Second US distance medal??

 

[Mecha_Infantry]

Can someone explain to me why they changed the rules to now disqualify first time false starters? Seems unfair to me

It was a time thing. I think there were complaints about people deliberately false starting

 

[Sky Chief]

What's with the arm warmers?

Too often modern athletic clothing is worn simply as a fashion garment. However, for those individuals involved in intense and/or competitive activity, the literature would suggest that compression clothing may provide both a performance and a recovery aid. The mechanisms that mediate any performance gains appear to be related to a considerable number of variables including enhanced proprioception, reduced muscle oscillation, enhanced lactate removal and/or psychological factors (ie subjects like the feel of the garments and perceive that they can improve performance).

new thread.

 

[Kurtofan]

Allez Mahieddine Mekhissi!

3000m Steeplechase.

 

[linsivvi]

I just found it out of the blue, is there a topic?

Nah, but it's 4-5 days ago so it's probably somewhere in OT2. Anyway the girl won the silver medal in the team event yesterday, so at least she got a medal.

Purer. Can't try to "beat" the gun I guess.

 

[TrueBlue]

i always forget how bitter you Brits are

Ha, everyone wants to see their country's sports-people do well, and it's natural to be disappointed or angry. You shouldn't generalise.

 

[D_prOdigy]

Wait wait wait.

Why is Luke Campbell guaranteed at least a bronze if he's only just won his QF? Is there some quirk of boxing I'm not aware of?

 

[Live Free or Die]

just started watching the womens usa vs tur indoor volleyball match. what happened to Lindsey Berg?

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Whoa, american runner Jager has the best hair i have seen at these olympics.

 

[theignoramus]

Can't believe you're in the stadium on a last minute ticket. Mind me asking how much it cost?

 

[Keylime]

None of the track and field feeds are working for me on NBCOlympics.com...what the eff!
