All under 10secs, wow

None would’ve even made the top four in 2012.

5/1000s in it! Wow

That Lyles is so annoying he must be a rag supporter

100 metres down to 1000th of a second. Wow.

But they can't be arsed checking a replay and seeing our girl shot the clay pigeon!

There are some track event experts interested in impacts of climate change on peak human performance that believe that if we continue to have the events outdoors in the middle of summer where the games are being hosted (and continue to disallow PED and PEC) that we may have already hit the fastest times.

Great pub quiz knowledge, respect

Hard to imagine where Americans get the reputation for being brash, arrogant and cocky.

Love the 100m - might be my favorite event to watch. Well that or beach volleyball...

Lyles is a bit over the top, but hey, the guy just won a gold medal

 

[The Black Shed]

5/1000s in it! Wow

If you run 100m in 10s, does that make 5/1000ths of that 5mm? I know they all ran sub 10s, but for easier calculations...

You should see them when they beat you off the line at a red light on a residential street in their Ford F-150 with confederate flags flying off the bed and steel bull testicles hanging from the tow hitch.
