[Archived] Beijing Olympics 2008

[T4E]

That was extraordinary. If he concentrated for the whole 100 metres he could get down to 9:65 and possibly even faster. There is nobody in his league and I expect the 200 metres record to also go.

Really?

It'd be great if it happened but it's hard to see it, let alone expect it. Johnson's record of 19.32 would involve Bolt running two 100m quicker than the one he ran yesterday. I think he's capable of that over 100m, but it's a big ask to break that record.

Gold medals are like A levels : much easier these days.

this is probly the most stupid post EVER on brfcs.

Remember though that in the 100m they are taking a while to get up to speed. In the 200 they have the potential to run a longer distance at max speed than in the 100 hence the sub 20sec time.

Righttttt, Well, I'll be seeing you at 2012 then?

:-/

[T4E]

It's going

I hope so, that would be a sporting history. When is the final?

EDIT: Decided not to be lazy and check myself. Semis this afternoon, Final on Weds.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Hoy wins the cycling in the final against Kenny, the other Great British cyclist.

So it's Gold and Silver for GB, and a third Gold for Hoy.

The Australians are spewing that we are above them in the medal table. So much so, they've changed the way the table is calculated and changed it to medals per capita.

You couldn't make it up.

Well Done CHRIS HOY, 3 Golds at one games, first hat trick in 100 years.

[M-K]

Hey, that Ohuruogu woman proves that cheats do prosper.

Slow...handclap...

[Billy Castell]

SSN showed the Australian reaction to our success from their antipodean counterparts. Needless to say it was with the grace that Australia shows in such events.

Don't pay much attention to Atheletics, so have only really found out about this.

I do have a question though, if she got a ban for doping, and then a reprive, why is chambers not at the Olympics, double standards as always, what a shock.

[nowthen]

She missed three drugs tests mate but wasn't proved to have cheated. Why not celebrate a quality performance?

I think its because she missed a test, whereas Dwain failed his test.

[Presty On Tour]

Unbelievable day for GBR again, so many medals.

[T4E]

Then admitted that he was a drug cheat.

There's no evidence to suggest Ohuruogu cheated.

Interesting that the greatest performance in a single Olympics from a GB athlete in the last 100 years has come from a Scotsman. Are those who didn't want to support the Scots as part of Team GB earlier on this thread still so against the idea?

[thenodrog]

I think its because she missed a test,

What like Rio?

[T4E]

Yes - although I thought she actually missed 3....

[Flopsy]

athletics tests are different to football's useless ones.

If you look into her case and why she is now allowed to compete then you'ld understand why she is completely different to chambers. She fouled up and got punished for it. Chambers knowingly cheated by using drugs
