Best British athlete of all time imo, no question.

Well that was rather boring.

Well if Jessica Ennis wins the heptathlon it's a bit difficult to compare.

He was on the lookout for a GB flag.

That Rutherford foul needs appealing.

Merlin5 · 14 Aug 2016 at 02:04

Probably yeah. Rutherford has done 8.51 before, I wish he could get somewhere close to that now.

Mo Farah, so good. My heart was beating so hard just watching it, wicked last lap from him. He's got that top speed which helps so much in the final 200

To win after hitting the deck as well. Just awesome.

Yes, but if there is a mark, that can't be appealed against, surely.

Urgh, tomorrow's going to be grim!

Unconfirmed reports that Jessica Ennis must beat Nafissatou Thiam by 9.47 seconds in the 800m to win gold.

The difference between their PBs? 9.47 seconds.

Trusty · 14 Aug 2016 at 02:16

I dunno whether to stay up for it. Your interesting fact has just made that decision more difficult

manic111 · 14 Aug 2016 at 02:16

Henderson has just gone huge!

Merlin5 · 14 Aug 2016 at 02:17

Damn, only bronze for Rutherford.
