mikeyp102 Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 Mo Farah, what an absolute legend (the word is battered around too many times but he is truelly fitting of it). Knew what he was doing and when he hit the front there was no stopping him. Comes across really well, very humble and appreciates his support. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArteSuave Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) Mo is an all time great now. It'll be interesting to see which way he diversifies his portfolio. Edit - Gemili deserves a mention too. Sub 20 and stunning speed endurance for someone so green. Edited August 16, 2013 by ArteSuave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Armand Duplantis failed at yet another attempt to beat his own WR in Birmingham last night. 6.19 seem to be cursed. Funny side story the DJ at the event refused to play the track Duplantis wanted to hear for his attempts at the WR because "the lyrics were in Swedish and the English speaking crowd would not understand them". What a idiot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 The NIKE World Championship starts tonight in Oregon. Conveniently enough a lot of foreign athletes has not been given visas to enter the US making the US ones even bigger favorites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US is weird. Whilst they produce great athletes (due to massive population and College system) Athletics itself as an spectator sport is very unpopular.

Norah Jeruto set a pretty blistering time beating the others in her heat by half a lap, sprinting the last 100, cheering like mad, kissing the ground, hugging everyone after the race. Either she is retarded and didn't realize that was a qualifier and not a final. Or she is retarded and took an awful lot out of her body for nothing ahead of the final.

Tegis Posted July 18, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 18, 2022 Its a bit like the pires-henry penalty. Top notch athletes gets it hilariously wrong at a very important moment. It's phunnay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Not a fan of the athletes being handed their medals about 5 seconds after the event is over while they are still celebrating. A quick photo op and then off with you. They should be allowed to enjoy the moment and celebrate and then have a proper medal ceremony. This is bs. And I know gold is expensive but having the medals be made of wood and weighing about 10g is a bit cheap, the ribbon looks like it's heavier than the medals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
