Kick another out, get a Bronze for GB.

they might have if he was Brazilian

 

[zero_suit]

That sucks.

 

[MarauderShields]

Winning the bronze at 41. What a beast.

Well earned!
sorta

 

[Gandalf]

Mo is such a likeable guy too.

Sir Mo.

It's crazy how many big stars are having their last Olympics while there's only one star I can think of that is just beginning (Ledecky).

From a UK perspective, Peaty and Whitlock. I suspect that some of our up and coming female sprinters have the potential to break through.

 

[Charles Brandon]

These DQs are fucking bollocks anyway. Far too many of them for minor infringements across the track. Does nothing for the sport.

 

[Blader]

Why the fuck does NBC torture these guys? Telling medalists they have actually been disqualified on live TV is heartless. At least give them a minute to absorb the info before putting them in front of the camera!

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

What arbitrary BS is that? You could find an instance of people bumping into each other for every racer.

 

[frankie_baby]

Which gives GBR yet another fourth!

are we still leading the 4th places?

 

[Tallshortman]

The Ukrainian team, I'm sweating.

Also I hope the inevitable protest of the DQ is successful, didn't see anything that was excessive.

Not as bad was what they did to GB last night, where they didn't even show any video proof for the DQ.

Mo is a gamer confirmed.

What did he say? Missed part of the interview

Agreed, it's the nitpickiest of nitpicks.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Even if he gets the medal on appeal, the moment was still ruined. Feel bad for him.

 

[Pennywise]

Gold for Röhler.
What a time.

 

[Phamit]

If they know it's not going to improve their distance, they might as well foul so that the judges don't have to waste time measuring.

ah, that makes it pretty cool, so it's kinda the Javlilin version of fair play

 

[Acorn]

C'mon Eilidh!

 

[mclem]

Last I heard we were.

Said he hates losing, even when he was a kid. Then he said he even hates losing in computer games.

We just need to find his gaf account now, no doubt gold member.

Mo is awesome.

 

[KillerMan91]

So our final tally (Finland) after javelin is one fricking bronze... damn. Obviously low point in our Olympic history.

 

[Acorn]

Sage Watson ❤

 

[Y2Kev]

Here comes the USSR world record

 

[Mimosa97]

Lagat used to run for Kenya, right ?

How come he's allowed to run for the US now ?

 

[Blader]

These DQs are fucking bollocks anyway. Far too many of them for minor infringements across the track. Does nothing for the sport.

And they reward genuinely slower runners. No disrespect to Lagat, but he was the 6th fastest person in that race; that shouldn't mean he deserves a bronze because of tiny infractions by three other guys.

 

[Vic]

Working your ass off for 4 years just to be DQ...

Yiash.

 

[Gandalf]

Hopefully Christine Ohuruogu makes up for her poor performance in the individual 400m. I know her personally, and her trainer is my Godfather.

C'mon GB!

Ah lol

Yeah I love the guy.

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

I don't really see the DQ, but I don't really know the rules.

When it is the only thing left for you to win , you care. Now they can say they won everything on soccer , people trying to dismiss this is just pure salt

They can and should celebrate. But celebrate it for what it is, a 2nd tier tournament.

I feel like they DQ just because they can.

 

[the_sun_king]

Athletics is strict with its rules/regulations, man.

Because NBC loves emotional torture porn.

 

[Tubie]

LETS GOOOO

 

[Beefy]
