[Meatpuppet]

Rooney seems pretty crushed

[woolley]

I don't understand whats so great about the 100m.

[Wes]

I'll go 1. Bolt, 2. Blake, 3. Gatlin.

I said 9.66 but after seeing Bolt coast the semis I think I'm going to be way off. I hope so too!

[flippedb]

One for medal for Guatemala, pls athletes!

Oh, and Bolt to kill it today.

[krishian]

More gold for Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan number 1!

[Chumly]

No US runners in the 400 meter final since at least 1920.

Dam just missed it. What the heck happened?

[nny]

Lets edit in a Libero joke into the title after this race

London 2012 Summer Olympics |OT3| - Why do all the Volleyball teams have a player from Liberia?

[davidsaurus]

After watching the womens heptathlon high jump, the mens high jump is ridiculously high.

[elrechazado]

I don't understand whats so great about the 100m.

Fastest human being in the world! over that arbitrarily chosen distance. I prefer the 400 myself...

[killer_clank]

1) Bolt
2) Blake
3) Gatlin

Bolt new WR. BELIEVE

[Brazil]

Kazakhstan gets another Gold.

[Nemo]

I don't understand whats so great about the 100m.

Why not?

[Hoo-doo]

I don't understand whats so great about the 100m.

One of the purest sport events there are. No equipment, no teams, no scoring, just hauling ass.

[numble]

Kazakhstan big this Olympics.

[duderon]

Dam just missed it. What the heck happened?

LaShawn Merritt pulled out with injury in his heat. The other two guys were inexperienced and didn't make the final.

[nny]

Kazakhstan gets another Gold.

Amazing! Quality over quantity, they say.

[Juicy Bob]

Bolt, Powell, Blake - World Record falls.

I will go insane if that happens.

[Subliminal]

Ohuruogu has to salvage Team GB's night on the track!

[Brazil]

Amazing! Quality over quantity, they say.

I'd say 6 golds is also a lot in terms of quantity.

[clemenx]

Kazakhstan has 6 medals, 6 gold. Pretty cool.

[John Dunbar]

One of the purest sport events there are. No equipment, no teams, no scoring, just hauling ass.

that applies to every running event.

[BrokenSymmetry]

First time there have been no US runners in the 400 meter final. Sad day.

USA used to be dominant in the 400. What happened? And where is Wariner (the great white hope)?

[Chumly]

LaShawn Merritt pulled out with injury in his heat. The other two guys were inexperienced and didn't make the final.

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit i didn't even realize he got injured.

[Threi]

I don't understand whats so great about the 100m.

The fastest speed a human can go (without having to pace themselves)

[ezrarh]

Kazakhstan has 6 medals, 6 gold. Pretty cool.

Trying to separate themselves from the Russians as much as possible.

[duderon]

USA used to be dominant in the 400. What happened? And where is Wariner (the great white hope)?

Hasn't been his old self these past couple of years.

[Meadows]

Disappointing effort for GB so far tonight.

every great night has a hangover ;)

still 2 golds so far today

[Hoo-doo]

that applies to every running event.

It does, i love running. 100m ensures a complete and utter sprint though.

[Kikujiro]

Kazakhstan another gold medal, only gold medals. Better than mother Russia.

[AngryMoth]

Women's 400 final about to get going. Come on Christine!

[killer_clank]

every great night has a hangover ;) still 2 golds so far today

And the Murray Gold was GLORIOUS

COME ON OHUROGU

[Bo-Locks]

1) Blake (New WR)
2) Bolt
3) Gay

[Wes]

Fingers crossed for Christine. It's going to be hard but there's always hope!

[Clegg]

Gatlin shouldn't even be allowed to compete in these Olympics imo.

[danwarb]

Fastest human being in the world! over that arbitrarily chosen distance. I prefer the 400 myself...

It's because it's a pure sprint. You can't afford to go out like that over longer distances.

[hylje]

Glorious 100m coming up. Jamaican medals but how many.

[Meadows]

come on Christine!!

[duderon]

Go Sanya!

[Hoo-doo]

Gatlin shouldn't even be allowed to compete in these Olympics imo.

I agree. Dopers should be banned from these events way longer.

[Buba Big Guns]

100m, 200m, 4x100m are the best olympic events (in the summer).

[Juicy Bob]

Women's 400m final

Come on Christine!

[Gamer @ Heart]

Volleyball stream died early on the third set. Boo

[elrechazado]

It's because it's a pure sprint. You can't afford to go out like that over longer distances.

You don't go all out in the 400? People push the body to its full limits in every distance, they're just going faster in the 100 because it's shorter. The idea that they aren't going "all out" is nonsense.

[Diprosalic]

100m, 200m, 4x100m are the best olympic events.

I always hated relays with the staff should just be touching.

[MasterShotgun]

Kazakhstan has 6 medals, 6 gold. Pretty cool.

Kazakhstan has been watching too much Talladega Nights. "Either you're first, or you're last."

[Nobility]

Bolt ftw.

I believe!

[giga]

Sanya gold!

[theignoramus]

You don't go all out in the 400? People push the body to its full limits in every distance, they're just going faster in the 100 because it's shorter. The idea that they aren't going "all out" is nonsense.

No. that's not what Mike Johnson is saying, anyway.

[PaulLFC]

So close Christine! Silver medal is awesome!

[killer_clank]

silver for ohurugu

AMAZING. WAS SO CLOSE THOUGH :(
