Bolt v Powell v Lemaitre in ~ 30 minutes or so in Rome. Live on BBC3.


Womens 100m is about to come now.
 
9.76s for Bolt... Powell looked sharp but Bolt just eased away. Normal service is resumed.
 
"Couldn't hear the start, I couldn't hear the gun"


Powell looks properly angry... but how can he say that when he got out quicker than Bolt.


edit--------------->

WTF?! Powell was all over the place, out of his lane twice then...

It did seem a little bit odd as that would mean he either guessed when to go or was reacting to the reaction of one of the other runners.

Nice to see Greg Rutherford and Robbie Grabarz winning their events with the latter setting a PB or at least that is what the commentary said - just looked online and it seems he's jumped 2.34m before when this was 2.33m, maybe it's a PB in competition?
 
I'm watching a stream now, through Al-Jazeria (sp) same feed as BBC and it's the same but a few seconds ahead so I'm guessing it's something wrong at Eugene.
 
Well that was ****, BBC died before they started to run, the other stream died 5.5 seconds in. Uchhh.
