The Czechs should be strong

Not good from Proctor

However, another Turk pulls out......

My highlight was Attah - yes she was terrible but it is great for the sport for a Saudi woman to be able to compete

Is it just me or did PSD go flat out in the heats when she did not need to? Maybe this is why she was a bit flat in the semis? At least she has a days rest for the final

On a purely hypothetical situation - do you still think he would get the sack if we won 7 golds compared to 1 gold and 7 bronzes?

I think she will do one more season to try and get 7000 then spend a couple of seasons just doing the hurdles

Shame it was scheduled after 3 GB golds. It prob wont get the attention it deserved for such a fast race

greenie1982 - just double-checking the Tsegay pick, as Samuel Tsegay (Eritrea) is scheduled to compete while several other well-known marathoners by that name are not, so I thought I'd make sure you know who you're picking

TBH I dont really follow the marathon so i picked at random

Maybe in line for the wooden spoom :D M 100: Blake, Bolt, Gay M 200: Bolt, Blake, Lemaitre M 400: Santos, Merritt, K Borlee M 800: Rudisha, Soloman, Amos M 1500: Kiplagat, Kiprop, Souleiman M 5000: Gebremeskel, Gebrhiwet, Farah M 10000: Farah, Kiprop, Masai M Marathon: Tsegay, Abshero, Sefir M 110h:...

My understanding is during the Olympics that you will just be able to stream it live - if I have got that right? Much prefer that then replays

People keep saying the 8 medal target wont be achieved but I think it is certainly doable Jess or Mo will both pick up one (one of them would be gold) = 2 Rutherford, robbie grabarz and idowu (subject to fitness) should medal plus one or two in the relays The we could easily pick up a bronze in one ...
