I imagine any longer and she might start cramping. Tall athlete in that position for that long, not ideal.

I don’t think they are holding them longer than normal, to be honest. And the former Olympic sprinters commentating on the broadcast I am watching seemed to also think she was fortunate not to be disqualified.

400m men’s final about to run.

Come on Hudson-Smith!

 

[MCFC1993]

Come on Matt.

 

[Blue Maverick]

He slowed down!

 

[BringBackSwales]

Fucking gutting, again

 

[BringBackSwales]

He slowed down!

I think maybe he was knackered

400m men’s final about to run.

Come on Hudson-Smith!

He was so, so close to gold!

He just ran out of steam in the last 30 metres.

Still, silver ain’t bad!

 

[jimharri]

Fuck it.

 

[MCFC1993]

Brutal, so so close, pipped by an American again.

That race was rapid. Hudson-Smith with another national record, can't fault him.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Sick to fucking death of yanks pipping our lads on the line - cunts

 

[jimharri]

Not many golds coming from the track.

 

[BringBackSwales]

He slowed down!

The fifth fastest time of all time - slow wasn’t part of that

 

[Scottyboi]

So unlucky 5th fastest of all time not good enough for gold.

 

[MCFC1993]

5th fastest time of all time beaten by the 4th, not much you can do there.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Can’t fault his performance. Did everything the best he could.

 

[Blue Maverick]

I think maybe he was knackered

It’s only 400 meters ffs!

 

[SebastianBlue]

Well done, Hudson-Smith!

Deserves praise even if he didn’t win it. Personal bests across the field, so getting silver is a big accomplishment.

 

[willipp]

Absolutely gutted for him.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Not many golds coming from the track.

I think that’s it. Maybe a bronze or two in the relays

 

[SebastianBlue]

It’s only 400 meters ffs!

I think you should run it at the next World Championship and show him how it is done!
