They should start the race with 26 runners and expel the last placed athlete after each lap. That would make the ******* hurry up!

Why the hell are they playing bloody loud music in the stadium when the 10000m race is being run? I've had to mute my TV.
To show off the 1m watt sound system innit.
So all the distance athletes should be denied any chance to race because you don't have any interest in watching it?
Just because you find it boring doesn't change it from being incredibly impressive to run those distances in that speed.

Stadium announcer and pounding music spoilt that for me. At least stop it when there's 4 laps left or something. Annoying.
I hope they don't do the same with the marathon!
I thought the marathon was outside the stadium?
It is. It was a 'joke'.

Kenyan's would have an even bigger advantage considering they bloody hurdle the entire thing already.

Hope hope Jessica Ennis wins the heptathlon but if we're being honest that event was just made up to keep more people in Athletics. Jack of all trades, master of none and all that.

Go away troll.
I can't belive I'm rising to you, of all people, but....
What the heck are you on about? For a start being competitive in such a range of different sports is very impressive. Its not like they are running school sportsday times. Next you will being saying the triathletes are all just rubbish cyclists.
And the master of none thing is retarded too. Ennis could hold her own in the 100m hurdles individual competition quite easily, and most of the other athletes have a discipline they are particularly good at.
Go troll somewhere else.

Calling someone who has just beaten the individual 100m hurdles record sub standard is jut lol worthy.
Ennis ran a 12.54 in the 100m hurdles leg of the heptathlon this morning....
