Just caught up on the Diamond League Birmingham meet...

Month looking great over the 2 mile.

Great run by Jeter against Fraser-Pryce, the women sprinters don't seem to dodge each other and are always racing.

Fraser-Pryce showing everyone who the boss is, she can seemingly pull it out when she needs to.

Surprising that Rudisha didn't win, good run from Aman.

Oooh Gay false start! Followed by 9.76 from Blake in not great conditions.

Guerrilla · 30 Aug 2012 at 20:17

19.66 for Bolt, not great conditions and not really trying by the looks of it

Azza · 30 Aug 2012 at 20:19

In work, so I'm missing it all.

Guerrilla · 30 Aug 2012 at 20:21

it should be on catch up later I'd think.

Guerrilla · 30 Aug 2012 at 20:53

3rd in the 4x100 probably about the best we could hope for behind the USA and Jamaica, even though it was porbably the B or C teams

Aries Merritt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

110mh world record!!!!!!!!!

12.80!!!!

Jay Psi · 7 Sep 2012 at 19:28

That was a sweet run - even on the replay I can't find any faults in his stride pattern!

Guerrilla · 7 Sep 2012 at 19:29

That was bloody brilliant, well done Aries Merritt.

Azza · 7 Sep 2012 at 19:34

100m is at 7:45 and 200m at 7:55 in case anyone didn't know.

Guerrilla · 7 Sep 2012 at 19:50

Bad run for Bolt... Still wins comfortably

Jay Psi · 7 Sep 2012 at 19:52

Bolt's last out of the blocks, next to last after drive, still wins in 9.86. Crazy ....

Wouldn't be surprised to see Blake run a sub 19.4, ending the season in great form like he did last year.

EDIT - Blake wins, 19.54. Too fast round the bend and faded in the last 40m.

Azza · 7 Sep 2012 at 19:56

Blake looked immensely quick through that first 100m!

Guerrilla · 7 Sep 2012 at 19:56

Blake wins easily, at one point thought that he could be close to the WR.

Guerrilla · 7 Sep 2012 at 20:06

Coukdn't ask for a better finish for the crowd
