Mo Farah, one of the all time greats in distance running?

Can't argue with his medal haul. But never gets anywhere near world record time but still wins so best of a shit lot?

Maybe it's getting cleaner

Katarina Johnson Thompson was in 2nd place in the heptathlon before the long jump. She went all out to get a massive jump. Fouled on all 3 attempts and f***ked up a chance of any medal. All down to Jessica Ennis now

[jmiles10]

That is some retarded shit

[Cripps]

100m semis on now

[Cripps]

Bolt is through but so close to going out. He's woefully off form. Back in his day he'd win that semi final by walking. Awful start.

[Cripps]

Gatlin wins in 9.77secs lol

He should win the final

[jmiles10]

Gatlin is a beautiful runner regardless of the assistance

[Cripps]

Jess Ennis about to win the gold

[Cripps]

And she does.

Out for two years and comes back and wins the gold.

[Cripps]

Bolt does it. Just too damn good. Very close though. Gatlin right there as well. Gets silver.

[jmiles10]

Still the master

[Tarquinius]

BOLT!!!!!! So happy!

PR disaster averted for the IAAF. Congratulations bolt, GOAT.

Seeing the replays, Gatlin crumbled under the pressure.
