Tokyo Olympics 2020 - Athletics - Day 2 (Sat)

[RunUnlimited]

Well, doesn't matter, Reece is out

[SprintRelayFan]

What a load of rubbish. To think some here were saying he’d medal! I know it wasn’t the easiest heat but as I said should never have gone

[Occasional Hope]

9.90 for deGrasse, 5th for Prescod.

[RunUnlimited]

Bloody hell Nigerians should protest that

Yeah, Ododuru is getting thrown under the bus there

[Christy93]

How can Prescod survive but Oduduru get DQ'd? He'll be reinstated if they protest.

[LuckySpikes]

No such favour for Ododuru!

[SprintRelayFan]

Bloody hell Nigerians should protest that

[Occasional Hope]

Oduduru less lucky.

[RunUnlimited]

VERRRRY lucky

[Occasional Hope]

He was lucky to get away with that.

[SprintRelayFan]

He almost didn’t get in it!

[LuckySpikes]

Lucky lad !

[RunUnlimited]

Italy with their first sprint medal since Mennea, perhaps? (Or have I missed someone?). I'd love to see him get among the Americans.

You would be correct. Italy have *never* had a *finalist* to the 100 m in the Olympics, let alone a medallist! The closest they ever came was when Mennea reached the Moscow 100 m semi-finals, where he was eliminated, before he went on to win the Olympic 200 m title.

[LuckySpikes]

Yep, looks loaded!

[SprintRelayFan]

Looking at the next heat I think prescod might struggle to get out of it
