Easy peasy.

Must be so crushing for some of the other guys. They run their hearts out pushing 110%, and get left behind by a guy who looks like he's just jogging down the shops to pick up a paper!

Haha Tom Fordyce has tweeted saying Harting was out partying hard after his discus win... had his accreditation and kit nicked and ended up sleeping in a tube station! What a guy!

He was absolutely nuts last night, saw him jumping all those hurdles on his victory lap haha. The guys putting out the hurdles were looking at him, thinking what the **** is a discus guy hurdling for...epic victory celebration from the guy

Indeed, feel sorry for the other guys but this one is again another shootout between Blake and Bolt i think.

But its just funny how easily Bolt won that semi final, makes it look so easy.

You know what, I wish Bolt had a bit more confidence in himself....

That camera is amazing!

Except that he wasn't actually jumping them. He was in an outside lane to where all the hurdles were.

Ooh false start...Mathieu DQ'd.

Like ive always said, what an utterly retarded stupid rule they have implemented.

I dont know but from what i saw, it looked like he was jumping them :confused:

Meh doesnt matter, the guy is a legend for his victory celebration.

EDIT: yes your right, he was on the outside and started to jump the womens hurdles for a lolworthy but epic victory celebration.

Guerrilla · 8 Aug 2012 at 20:29

Ha, looks like he's 12 but runs like he's 30

I disagree. Its not hard, you just wait for the gun. Being hard on false starts deters people from trying it.

Wonder if Harting will do another epic celebration lap

...just got his well deserved gold medal.

What fozzy was saying that he was jumping them on the outside lane ie he wasnt really jumping properly as a hurdler would do.

Yas786 · 8 Aug 2012 at 20:48

Russians take the 400m gold...unlucky for the American, almost caught her at the end as well.

He was in a lane outside of the hurdles and was just throwing his left leg over the edge of the hurdle. He couldn't physically jump them properly.

Yas786 · 8 Aug 2012 at 20:52

Shara Proctor out of the long jump.

Yas786 · 8 Aug 2012 at 20:57

Womens 200m final coming up next.
