Birmingham CWG Day 5 - (Saturday August 5th)

why do the mens 4 x 100 team always talk such bollocks

[ozjohn]

The "live feed" seems to have disappeared today with Katherine, Tim etc?

[jjimbojames]

That looks like Nigeria’s best team. JAM-ENG-NIG for the medals, most likely, but without SAFP and SJ, it will be close

[LuckySpikes]

No, I think it was poor to write-off an improving athlete with an 8:12 PB in a Commonwealth final. It might have been a different result in a DL race but it was a championship race.

[jjimbojames]

Same again in second round….not looking good…

[jjimbojames]

M4x1 - Jona-HAA-NMB-Ojie.

[jjimbojames]

She knows the rules - she needs to be disciplined. This is far from the first time, if memory serves correctly, that count back has been an issue for her

[marra]

Shame for Lake. Losing on countback is never fun, but losing on countback to a height 11cm below seems very not fun. still, them's the rules.

[marra]

I mean, in fairness, by SBs they were all at least 3 seconds quicker than he had ever run, let alone PBs for the likes of Kipruto.

So, whilst it wasn't a crazy shock, it was a shock with a small s. Fair play to Sable though.

[LuckySpikes]

Brilliant race from India's Sable to take silver and almost win.

Just catching up now after taking in the shopping delivery. I couldn't believe my ears pre-race with Cotter totally under-rating Avinash Sable, saying a Kenyan 1-2-3 was guaranteed.

NR for Sable taking 1.3s off his own record.

Seddon and Hopkins NOT inspired by the recent exploits of Aimee & Lizzie.

[jjimbojames]

W4x1 - Philip-Lansiquot-B Williams-Nelson

[carterhatch]

I was just admiring the hairstyle of Morgan Lake and Laura Zialor, and it seems that the Canadian hammer thrower, Rowan Hamilton, shares the same hairdresser [though I wouldnt say that to his face hahaha]

[Grassmarket]

Come on Nick Miller, don’t dribble this away in no throws, please.

[carterhatch]

Is India the sleeping giant of World Athletics?

[Occasional Hope]

Brilliant race from India's Sable to take silver and almost win.
