What happened to get them disqualified?

 

[SDK^]

Messed up the hand over and then ran outside his lane. A total mess up for the final guy.

What happened to get them disqualified?

Took ages to pass the baton and did it after the line.

What happened to get them disqualified?

On the last changeover Daniel Talbot couldn't hand it to Adam Gemili inside the two yellow markers.

 

[Guerrilla]

Well that's certainly disappointing.

 

[NZB]

Shame as we did really well apart from that.

Why am I not surprised about GB ****ing up the relay? It was actually a really good run otherwise

But Jamaica were quick - 37.39 without Bolt and Powell!

Will Bolt compete in the final or can you not change athletes between rounds?

 

[Pighardia]

USA were very quick as well!

Will Bolt compete in the final or can you not change athletes between rounds?

Free to change athletes, quite often see teams saving the 'big guns' for finals, especially if they have such depth of talent... Like USA and Jamaica.

You can change runners, Bolt will go in the final.

Will Powell be fit for Jamaica?

Come on Sophie!

Ouch, 100% failure with changeovers for GB in all competitions for that race this year apparently.

Thats fairly grim.

 

[Moothead2]

Thanks .

At lease we're consistent .

 

[Mr Jones]

Come on Sophie!

She's really fit/hot out of all them Hammer throwers! In fact, she's just fit.

 

[SwiftJump]

Shame for the relay team last guy went a bit too quick off the mark, didnt lock his speed but sped up, we did good though.

 

[NZB]

Anyone know why long distance runners are always so skinny?

Edit - nvm, google to the rescue. Apparently it's the extreme amounts of energy their bodies use in training makes it hard for them to gain body fat and muscle other than lean.

She is lovely.

Getting the British record with her last throw in order to qualify for the final has been one of my favourite moments so far. Obviously she wasn't going to do anymore though.

 

[NZB]

Pavey struggling in the 5000m now, Bleasedale's doing well though.

Dafar looks relaxed.

 

[NZB]

No chance for either of our lassies.
