The BBC wankfest of Usain Bolt has been an absolute cringe fest!
Skynews Sports headlines yesterday Bolt gets injured NOT Britain unexpectedly win Gold 4x100 relay!
The BBC wankfest of Usain Bolt has been an absolute cringe fest!
i noted that the U.S. 4x1 relay got roundly booed because of the presence of that doper gatlin, whereas the jamaicans got roundly cheered despite the presence of that doper yohan blake.
Yeah, seems there is an irrational appeal for the Jamaican team due to the love for Bolt in the UK.
I think it is more complex than just saying they are both dopers. When you compare the nature of Gatlin’s two bans, in particular the second, to Blake’s one. Blake’s ban is more similar to Gatlin’s first, if Gatlin had only committed the doping offence that led to the first ban I don’t think he’d be getting the same reception.
This IAAF World’s in London is supposed to be Bolt’s retirement party! The start list is up posted by season’s best that you can get from the IAAF page: https://www.iaaf.org/...reviews-2017-world-c
Just posting on some of my favourite events/atheltes that I am looking forward to:
100m F: Elaine Thompson should be the queen. Will Daphne Schippers (NL) be best of the rest?
100m: 21 year old Christian Coleman has run the season’s best with a 9.82. Andre de Grasse, a year older pushed Bolt “a bit” last year at Rio. The young guys are coming on strong. I still want Bolt to go out with this win. Let’s see. Gatlin on deck to push all these guys.
200m: Interesting that the fastest 200m times this year have been posted out of the continent of Africa: Van Niekerk 19.84 and Maklawa (from Botswana) 19.79. I am hoping our local boy Andre de Grasse can push these guys and Bolt for a medal
400m F: Is there a more technically beautiful runner than Allyson Felix. This seems like her race to lose
400m: I’m going for Van Niekerk all the way. Love this guy’s running form. Makwala from Botswana posted a 43.70 this year. These Afrcians are fast
4x100: Season fastest times don’t mean a ton since you never have the fast guys running together for their national team for the big meets. This should be the domain of a massive USA vs Jamaica smackdown…Great Britian and Canada have the two fastest times this year. Women’s competition should be a Jamaica vs USA. I love the relays (more so the 4x100, but 4x400m is awesome…look out for Botswana men in the 4x400 to post a sub 3 min time).
Jumping up to the 5000m, the Ethopians Edris and Barega posted 12:55 times this year. Will they take it out in a drag race and try to wear down Mo Farah, or let his sit in for a sprint and give him the win at home? Of course the problem with this plan is that Mo’s 5000m PB is 12:53…so he’s going to sit in on all you idiots and still try to outkick you. In the 10000m Mo has run the 3rd fastest time this season. Rupp is on deck in this event. From Canada, we have Mohammad Ahmad who has been close to the front with all these guys…let’s see what he can do in the 5k/10K double
OK, let’s get the banter going since the Tour and Wimbledon are over the Vuelta has not started, US Open is still on the horizon, there is no Euro or FIFA World Cup this summer, Swimming worlds are done today, gotta wait for doped out NFL and Euro Pro Football till Sep and otherwise I am stuck with Nascar and Baseball…well on a plus note Tim Raines hits Cooperstown today…GO ROCK!!!
I think Bolt will win the 100, he always seems to peak at the right time. Don’t think he’s running the 200 though. Kwemoi will crush the 1500
Don’t think Rupp has a spot, hes only an alternate after his very disappointing performance during US 10k nationals, seems he’s having a tough time after moving to marathon. Believe SloMo will win the 10000 in a slow race as usual. Bekele dropped out of the marathon claiming he’s unfit, hopefully that means he will run Berlin instead and we will get an epic battle with Kipchoge and Kipsang.
As I hoped, Bekele is now racing Berlin! The record is going down! I predict a sub 61 half and a brutal second half. Dev, time to stop following the lycra-crew at vuelta and get back to where the real action is, road racing!

LOL, no one cares about Froome vs Nibali vs Contador at the Vuelta…we’re more worried about H2OFun’s bike training plan (or lack of it). Berlin should be much better than the fake news gong show that Nike put on at Monza

Lol, who’s Chris froome and what’s his 10k pr? If it’s not sub 27, why are we even talking about him! I’m always more worried about the lack of cookies in H2O’s diet!
Maybe fake news, but I think it gave kipchoge some great confidence which I think is needed for this to become an epic race. If they all just want to win it will prob be a boring high 2:04 race, but if they all think they can get the wr (which I think they all can, and Kipsang/Bekele won’t have many more chances) it could be epic! Can’t see kipsang and choge wanting to leave it to the kick as likely Kenenisa will win that race. I’m thinking Bekele must be in good shape for entering, and I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the record came down under 2:02 if conditions are good
