Won't be Steel for long now then.

 

[jett]

That's why I have no problem with those records staying. I think a clean athlete will beat them one day. Humans are only getting stronger

That or better/more stealthy doping programs.

But no doubt diet and training is something that continually improves as we learn more about the human body.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

Hope this is the last time we ever see empty arenas at the olympics. Feel bad for the medal winners who didn't get to win in the normal atmosphere.

Yeah, it feels like they're competing in an abandoned stadium, I don't like it.

 

[CheDominik]

Still amazing to me how much Jamaica punches above their weight in track.

Weren't there some rumblings in the past that the Jamaican interpretation of WADA regulations is incredibly lax? (The US athletes routinely ges accused of that as well btw)

 

[Acorn]

I'm saddened by how empty I know the stadiums will be for the paralympics

Yep, especially after the upward trajectory they were on after London and Beijing.

It will set them back and make sponsorships more difficult for Tokoyo.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

The DQd guys are back in? What a mess.

 

[chromatic9]

London 2012 stadium held 80,000 as well at the time. This one at Rio 2016 only holds 60,000 and was 1/4 or 1/3 full for most of the time and half full on a good day and mostly full just for Bolt then quickly empties. I've seen many diamond league nights bigger than this

I still have the Paralympics of 2012 in my mind it was that good and hyped.

 

[Acorn]

Paula Radcliffe is definitely high on something.

 

[elty]

Tight volleyball game but looks like China is gaining momentum.

 

[perfectchaos007]

China still playing pretty well in volleyball.

 

[maximum360]

Still amazing to me how much Jamaica punches above their weight in track.

Yeah. The Jamaicans didn't even get a mention in the 4x400. All the talk was about the Bahamas and the US.

Is it? Damn, I really hope that's not the case.

Edit Just Googled looks like there was some talk about it a few years back and when Powell got popped.

 

[Vic]

These Chinese girls are too real <3

 

[Superman0]

China has a great coach, very good adjustment.

 

[ColossalLazy]

China dont care

 

[Brazil]

Serbia is not playing like an Olympic finalist. So many terrible reception errors... God.

 

[Acorn]

Was wondering if the BBC were going to steer clear of that or not, other than stating the situation.

It's going to blow up in the sun or mail I think.

 

[RandomSeed]

Steel Johnson is premature says the Diving commentator girl.

One of the T&F events I was watching the other day (yesterday? hmm), the commentator kept going on about there being a wide gap, stretching the gap, tightening the gap, then coming hard during the final sprint. Like, do they have a fucking filter?

And what's up with people being called pretenders? Sounds insulting. And I swear early on some dude was using the term "taking scalps", as in domination, or kicking ass and taking names. WTF? Commentary has really sucked on NBC and the website.

 

[Miles X]

Looks like China are gonna win this, I wonder if China can pull something special out of the bag and get back 2nd place in the medal table!

 

[IdreamofHIME]

So that's Lynsey Sharp on my shit list. Fuck her.

 

[Vic]

Welp, Serbia somehow got their stuff together.

What's this?

What's she done/said?

What were they discussing?

 

[CheDominik]

Rooting for them. That country needs every bit of good news it can get right now even if it's as minor as a volleyball gold medal

 

[IdreamofHIME]

What's she done/said?

Talking shit about Caster, saying it's not fair to race against her.

What were they discussing?

Caster Semenya

 

[Acorn]

What's this?

What were they discussing?

The testosterone stuff with the semenya (sp?) Lady.

 

[Brazil]

I bit my tongue.

 

[elty]

Wow back to a 1 point game.

 

[Vic]

Service error... ffs

 

[Acorn]

Empty stadium for Mo Farah. Disgraceful.

 

[Zackat]

I bit my tongue.

tbf they were playing like shit.

Empty stadium for Mo Farah. Disgraceful.

yep

 

[Beefy]

crowd is fucking bad

 

[perfectchaos007]

China wins set 3! but somehow Serbia has the momentum

 

[Superman0]

Zhu is amazing.

 

[CuthbertAllgoodz]

Sets ending like that are just so anticlimactic...

 

[Vic]

Marry me Zhu <3

 

[D4Danger]

Talking shit about Caster, saying it's not fair to race against her.

it's a difficult one because she is kinda right but it's also a shitty thing to say because it's nature.

I can understand why someone might be frustrated and she'll probably regret those comments in the morning.

If she'd come Silver I'd get the frustration, she came 6th though .. she should just shut up.

 

[Tubie]

Zhu is incredible.

 

[Acorn]

Glad he's atleast got a hundred or so Brits cheering him, still fucking sucks.

 

[Beefy]

Brazilians just don't give a shit about other countries athlete's.

 

[D4Danger]

If she'd come Silver I'd get the frustration, she came 6th though .. she should just shut up.

also true.

 

[Pedrito]

Mo Ahmed has been reinstated and finishes 4th. Three fourth place tonight. First in line when samples are retested in 8 years!

 

[perfectchaos007]

The only Gold the USA should get tomorrow is in basketball. That means we'll finish with 44 golds. 2 short of what we got in London in 2012. Team USA isn't what it used to be

 

[Tubie]

Lochte is a real piece of shit.

 

[Acorn]

If she'd come Silver I'd get the frustration, she came 6th though .. she should just shut up.

She had just came off the track and was emotional then was hit with that hot potato, kinda fucked up Phil Jones went there. Not excusing her of course should of just said nothing if you had nothing good to say.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

Mo is so awesome

 

[Zackat]

Lochte interview

Mo with the 2 medals lmao
