Another 4th. Still, good race. The third racer killed our chance.

 

[Beefy]

Nice job ladies

I wouldn't say that yet, top 3 could get DQed yet.

 

[Superman0]

Well at least our women are competent in relay

 

[Acorn]

Felix just took off at the end there.

She's an amazing athlete.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

Emily Diamond saved them there, great job.

 

[BroBot]

Felix! Murica! YES!

 

[Ether_Snake]

They were DQed, then unDQed, then win the gold. Pretty good.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

How many have been DQd? Bets?

 

[D4Danger]

nobody celebrate

give it 5 minutes

 

[frankie_baby]

Well done girls! Fantastic third leg there. That'll make Christine happy

66 medals now!

plus the gold or silver in the boxing tomorrow so its 67

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

US Women 4x400 DQ'd because of reasons.

Spoiler

No idea if they were or weren't DQ'd

 

[Broank]

No DQs?

 

[SolidSnakex]

I believe it was one of the British runners that ran into one of the Polish runners during an exchange, so they may get DQ'd.

 

[Vic]

Actually, you never know. Being 4th might make a difference 10 mins from now...

 

[Ruruja]

Looked like a good race between USA and Jamaica, shame BBC just showed British squabbling for third for most of it.

 

[Mimosa97]

Is Felix the most versatile female runner of all time ?

She won gold medals in 4x100, 200 and 4x400 lol (not this year but lifetime)

 

[chromatic9]

Ohuruogu and Diamond ran superb there.

 

[Mega]

Anyone else think it's weird NBC interviews swimmers and runners when they're still gasping to catch their breath? Saw this so many times in the past 2 weeks. It feels really unnecessary.

 

[TheBioLover]

Judges: "Uh yeah we decided to DQ everyone end give all three medals to Brazil. Don't ask why."

 

[perfectchaos007]

You're thinking of the 4x100

 

[| Praxis |]

Wish this was streamed in 4K.

 

[RandomSeed]

All DQ'd, so 3 of the 105+KG Men's Weightlifters will take home the medals, because reasons.

 

[luso]

Here comes the USSR world record

On that same Olympics USA got the 2nd best time ever.

 

[moai]

So how does the soviet union hold the olympic and world record on 4x400? I mean look at the lead that both teams composed of black sprinters took over the white ones.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

They know they can't celebrate yet. Nerve racking.

 

[ColossalLazy]

Women volleyball final has began a little while ago.

China vs Serbia

 

[Acorn]

Don't like Ohourgu. Dodged 3 drug test in a year.

Pretty obvious how.

 

[Blader]

That was the 4x1.

80s records are drug fueled bullshit.

 

[mclem]

Christine Ohourugu was the first Brit I saw medal live in 2012. Got a soft spot for her due to that, delighted she's got another medal.

 

[Pedrito]

There's a dopper who just came back from a 2-year ban on the Canadian team so maybe it's better to not get a medal and save ourselves future embarrassment.

 

[Acorn]

Can't stand her because of the drug tests. Dodged 3 and only got a 1 year ban.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

They had the money and technology to create the world's most dangerous weapon.

 

[Mega]

No athlete's medal totals should be held up against swimmers. Too many swimming medals are given out.

Soviet and East German runners were doped up to their eyeballs.

 

[KillerMan91]

Yeah. Shows that it wasn't just Soviets that doped during 80s. They were just damn good at it.

 

[moai]

i was picturing the same thing.

 

[Beefy]

Still not as bad as the Chinese diver that only got a 2 month drug ban....

 

[Cyriades]

Track and Field Women's 4 x 400m video up yet? I missed it

 

[KingSnake]

On that same Olympics USA got the 2nd best time ever.

In times of unbelievable results all around, only the Eastern European athletes were doped, don't you know?

 

[Acorn]

Bolt 'only' having 9 illustrates that. Can't blame the swimmers though and Michael Phelps is a legend either way.

 

[D4Danger]

80s records are drug fueled bullshit.

I love that the record progression was East Germany for 15 odd years then USSR in 88 and nobody has got near it since

they should just invalidate all those times. Nobody would care.

 

[Acorn]

Gatlin is the worst one. Twice and no doubt in a few years his samples will be retested and found to be doped to the gills.

 

[Vic]

Fuck, Women's Volleyball Gold Medal match began 20 mins ago.

 

[Tubie]

Gwen Jorgensen <3

 

[ColossalLazy]

Dat rally. China with the come back.

 

[Vic]

Dat rally. China with the come back.

A comeback from this Chinese team? Of course.

 

[Acorn]

Diamond basically won us that bronze.

 

[CuthbertAllgoodz]

Fuck, Women's Volleyball Gold Medal match began 20 mins ago.
