Christ, how did he come back from there? Pure determination that

 

[MCFC1993]

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

Johnson-Thompson is the other shout, she should be favourite for gold.

 

[BringBackSwales]

It’s only 400 meters ffs!

Are you being serious? He’s run a personal fucking best, fifth fastest time ever. His “slowing down” as you put it was only relative to how unbelievably fast the yank finished

 

[Blue Maverick]

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

Funny you should say that I did run it once at a sports day, I was blistering for 200 metres hit a wall at 300 fucking jelly legs after that and fell over the line, nothing but respect for these guys honestly.

I’d be collapsing at the finish line with that sort of push at the end.

I mean, I am collapsed in my chair now, but you know what I mean!

 

[super_city_si]

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

He ran great, just go to give the American credit, he put everything in to the last 40m just look at his face

 

[waspish]

USA in a few races now have come from nowhere to win gold they seem to have after burners in the last 50m

Stop posting shit then

Not fav at all I don’t think. Thiam will be the huge favourite and KJ will do well to get a medal
I think.

Sense of humour failure alert.

 

[deano ou812]

Hmmm yank was blowing out of his arse at 300m but gets it on the nod unlucky for Hudson-Smith..

 

[BringBackSwales]

Being absolutely brilliant with the crowd, even though he must be devastated

 

[Vienna_70]

I really thought MHS had the gold in his pocket.

 

[Claytop]

I mean that’s got to be shite leading for the last 100-150 until the last metre.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Imagine @bumbleblue, @Eccles Blue, and @Kaz are all excited for the Greco-Roman wrestling finals coming up shortly.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Sense of humour failure alert.

Shit fucking post alert. You posted “he slowed down” ha fucking ha ha. Your double act of world class athlete and stand up comedian is something to behold. Joker indeed

ye whatever, enjoy your evening

Maybe not outright favourite but she'll be in a battle with Thiam for gold.

KJT's score that won the World's last year would be 2nd best this year (behidnd Thiam). If KJT has improved this season then she'll have a shout of being closer to Thiam.

@bridgeno1 can you share your experience with this?
