I’d be checking for a rocket up his arse. His start was incredible.

Starc going well in high jump. Aussie girl in hurdles was good after the starter got the yips.

Yeah ...but that trying one height and then jumping to a higher height ...I can't remember ANYONE succeeding in high jump doing that ..remember one in Pole Vault

Browning had a pretty poor start , definitely cost him


Missed the start badly (I don't think he was completely in his 'set' position) and still ran 10.09. Only young, could be a good 'un.

How far did he miss out by ...places wise ??

Who the hell would choose a jump off when you’re already guaranteed gold?

Because your not the winner , what a BS decision make them jump off should be no choice, which anthem will they play ??!!!

Is the BMX our first gold medal not in or on water?

Yeah outside of swimming we have 2 in the rowing, 1 sailing and jess fox.

velodrome cycling starts tomorrow
we look to be in the medal hunt in 2 sailing classes
we have a real chance in the hockey
Boomers and Soccer could surprise
Athletics we have maybe 3-4 medal chances coming up.

Side note love Bol, he is such a smart runner in the middle distance events and very humble, hope he nails the final.

Who gives a stuff? You still get the gold medal. Who cares if you’re first or equal first. You’d need your head read to choose the jump off.

He was I think 5th in his semi. I think top 2 from each semi and the next 2 fastest made the final. He was, from my quick count, 6th fastest outside the auto qualifiers so he would have been say 12th?
