TheKingObv 10,646 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 2 hours ago, JamieD said: That 400m hurdles final must be, statistically, the greatest race in history. Gold, silver and bronze medallist would all have broken the pre-July 2021 world record, which stood for 29 years. Warholm breaks his own recent world record by 0.74 seconds. Silver medallist breaks Warholm's previous record by 0.53 seconds. Ludicrous. Greatest sporting performance in history. Fucking stunning.

TheKingObv 10,646 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Also really want to see what he can do in the 400 flat. Definitely a sub 44 in there, wonder just how far under? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heshootshescores 1,904 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Inspiring performance by Sifan Hassan in the 1500m heat. Having fallen, she got back up then stormed through the field, before winning and booking a semi final slot. A great lesson for all in facing adversity and kicking its butt.

They made it look incredibly easy. The crash of the Netherlands will have helped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm fairly sure he won't (not saying he isn't juicing, but he probs won't get caught if he is). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the cheats are way in front of testing at the moment. At least with cycling they have passports so abnormal levels show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
