It's legit. And it's awesome. Quite literally in every single race at least one person goes down hard. Faceplants, group crashes and riders coughing up blood are not uncommon. Everybody was talking about it in this thread a little earlier on. The track is lethal.
Why would you come into the Olympics thread, where we are watching the games, to try to have a debate?

Bob Beamon and Mike Powell's long jump records are crazy.
Well, you just mean Kurtofan. The rest of French-GAF have been chill.

This russian wrestler is cuuute. I've fell in love with like a million athletes these last few weeks <3
Yeah, I bet they paid some good money for him too.
He's got a bad lane, I have no expectations.
I'm just very invested

Indeed. How Johnson isn't in the stadium I don't know. I think they should make him the host for Rio!
Edit: There it is. Colin Jackson knows shit about running the 200m, he just said that Blake would come steaming from behind to overtake Bolt on the back straight, if anything it would be the other way around as Bolt tends to start poorly and runs a poor bend while he powers the final 120m.
My brother is waiting for the USWNT match to start -- he got tickets to the gold medal match before the games began so I was crossing my fingers that we'd make it so he could see them. He's put up a number of pics during the games if anyone wants to see them: http://statigr.am/madoublethew
Here is one he put up of the exterior of Wembley about an hour ago. He texted me one from inside but that's kind of a pain to go through the upload process.

That's awesome bro.
They're a paddle with lights on, they're removable and during the opening ceremony we were encouraged to move them in time with the music.

Those are the leds light used in the opening , pretty sure they will use again in the close ceremony.
I do hope he's with Gabby tonight so we can get his opinions on Dressage.
Bolt usually runs the bend very well.
Yass, go brazil. Dont fail now after that awesome match against russia.

Not really, Bolt's first 100m of the 200 is down on his 100m WR and his Olympic performance, while his second 100m of the 200 is much faster than his 100m WR.
I doubt it's a massive amount. He's worked with the BBC for over 10 years (since Sydney?) and he seems to really enjoy it. But yeah, he's head and shoulders above any of the other pundits. Ian Thorpe was insightful and funny in the Aquatics Centre, I'd like to see the BBC strike up an equally lucrative partnership with him.

Japanese chicks look like children next to the Brazilians.
That's true for everyone though. They're already near top speed for the second 100m, and running a bend for the first. I think he runs the bend better than his competition.

Blake runs a better bend and starts better.

Did the Chinese media and population as a whole get in the same state of hype most of England is in at the moment?
I'm worried about the potential come down from all this!

He's been fantastic at every Olympic games he has worked with the BBC. I have always wondered why he has worked for the BBC rather than an Amercian network. I can't see the BBC paying him a ridiculous amount. Maybe the prestige of the BBC factors in.
Neither of those things mean he runs a poor turn.
His first 100 (of the 200) is slower than his 100 because he isn't running in a straight line and he still has twice the distance to run.
His second 100 is faster because he is beginning it at an already running start.
