Women pole vaulters time <3

 

[Rainy]

lol that ussr record for the 4x400m women's.

 

[Zackat]

they are fast

how many of those girls will run in the final?

 

[Rainy]

US ran 3:21:42, season's best~

 

[perfectchaos007]

US is tough to beat on relays because they have a lot of depth in their teams

 

[mclem]

Christine Ohourugu! Got a soft spot for her; She was the first British athlete I saw medal live.

 

[Pedrito]

It's Sage!

 

[KillerMan91]

lol that ussr record for the 4x400m women's.

Pretty much all under 1500m records from track for women are from 80s (and everyone knows why). Exception is US 4 x 100m from London when they beat old GDR record.... I guess innocent until proven guilty.

 

[nny]

The height difference between Bolt and that girl...

 

[Zackat]

that hammer throw record is so far lol


set in 1986. hmm

 

[KillerMan91]

If Ivan Tikhon actually medals in hammer throw at least the guy who will be fourth knows that he is going to get medal in few years. Tikhon has been caught doping like 3 times. It's disgrace that he is still allowed to throw in olympics.

 

[Ether_Snake]

The worst corridor to run in must be the first one, you have to make a sharper turn.

edit: Yarisley Silva. wifey

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

So it really is Bolt's last day....man, I wonder what he'll do, become jedi master to De Grasse?

 

[flintstryker]

Its gonna be sad seeing Bolt go, I simply cannot imagine anyone becoming as big an icon as he has been in the sport anytime soon if ever again

 

[Sean C]

In terms of sports where you could very easily critically injure yourself, pole vaulting has to be up there.

 

[Rainy]

Everyone is so happy at the Decathlon medal ceremony, I love it.

 

[Brazil]

Team GB DQ'ed

GO BRAZIL haha

 

[flintstryker]

Goddamn Bolt's final race is soon and I won't be able to see if!! Can't find any stream fml

 

[Eyeh4wk]

Team GB was DQ on 4x400m?

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Brazil lucked out, huh?

 

[Rainy]

Holy shit GBR got DQ'ed and Brazil got into the final LOL

 

[Elfforkusu]

8:20 left in the 4th quarter and Australia still has just 39 points.

What the hell?

 

[nny]

GB and Trinidad; they DQ'd the exact number of countries required for Brazil to move to the final, hmmm....;P

 

[Lima]

Team GB was DQ on 4x400m?

Lmao and they were all like this is how we do it into the camera at the end. Rooney wouldn't shut up about being proud of them. Bunch of fools.

 

[Miles X]

Wonder if the judge was Brazillian ... because DQ'd GB gets Brazil in the final ..

 

[Linkified]

Lmao and they were all like this is how we do it into the camera at the end. Rooney wouldn't shut up about being proud of them. Bunch of fools.

BBC Pundits say it doesn't make sense.

 

[Eyeh4wk]

As if Brasil has any chance to win, lol.

 

[nny]

Celebrating as she falls heh

As if Brasil has any chance to win, lol.

Just wait for the final, where everyone finishing ahead of Brazil will be DQ'd. Just wait.

 

[Brazil]

As if Brasil has any chance to win, lol.

We can always DQ everyone else!

 

[CelticKnight]

Where are all the salty people from earlier who said the judges were biased towards GB in all events?

 

[Charles Brandon]

that DQ was absolute bullshit. They've been going through the replay. There is nothing.

 

[Zackat]

Why did they get DQ'd?

 

[Tubie]

Ayana gonna win the 5k easily.

 

[Venturer]

I hope they appeal can't see any reason for GB to be DQed from the replays.

 

[Charles Brandon]

Why did they get DQ'd?

no-one knows

 

[nny]

On your mark...

...just kidding.

On your mark...

...got ya!

On your mark...

 

[GrizzleBoy]

that DQ was absolute bullshit. They've been going through the replay. There is nothing.

Why did they get DQ'd?

All of these.

Wtf were they DQ for?????

All their changes were legal, there was no pushing or shoving.

So why?

 

[nny]

^I believe GB was DQ because the last runner was bragging too much and wouldn't shut up.

 

[Mimosa97]

I don't know what happened but meh brits have already won enough medals imo

They've been crushing these olympics way too hard. Please leave a few crumbs for us pleb countries lol

 

[D4Danger]

Why did they get DQ'd?

he isn't Brazilian.

but seriously, nobody knows.

 

[Ricker]

Ayana gonna win the 5k easily.

There she goes...

 

[AndyB1974]

 

[Arials]

Lmao and they were all like this is how we do it into the camera at the end. Rooney wouldn't shut up about being proud of them. Bunch of fools.

Please do tell us what they did wrong because no one seems to know.

 

[Brazil]

Rule 170 DQ'ed Team GB. They passed batons outside the area where they could do it.

 

[mclem]

That's a quote from the commentary, but then after that they kept looking at the specific instance and concluded that they were pretty sure that wasn't the case.

 

[Vic]

Ayana from Ethiopia just took off

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Rule 170 DQ'ed Team GB. They passed batons outside the area where they could do it.

Yet in the replays, it clearly shows they didn't o_o

 

[Charles Brandon]

Rule 170 DQ'ed Team GB. They passed batons outside the area where they could do it.

But they didn't, we've been through the replays

 

[D4Danger]

Rule 170 DQ'ed Team GB. They passed batons outside the area where they could do it.

the replays looked fine. what were they looking at?

 

[mclem]

^I believe GB was DQ because the last runner was bragging too much and wouldn't shut up.

He's a guy who, in his solo run earlier in the week, provoked this exchange:

'You're currently only the second-fastest loser, with one race to go. What do you think went wrong?'

'I ran like a dick.'

He's... outspoken.
