What I'm more concerned about is that @SebastianBlue knew this without having to Google it.

Absolutely. He needs to clarify this. Too much time spent with the reprobates in 'murica, methinks.

Time for the men’s 110m hurdles final, which includes an American hurdler that gamed the new qualification system to make the final.

If that’s the result who can blame her? Olympics and WR are all that are remembered down the years.

She's free to do whatever but I just don't think she's good for the sport. Like I said I love the sport so it shouldn't just be about showing up for the Olympics and then hiding for 4 years which is what she's done.

She tried to run 400m flat last year, realised it was too much so went back to her safe spot, she's raced at the US Trials and Olympics this year and that's it.

At a minimum she should be doing the 400m Hurdles and 400m double.

Holloway is usually very good. Runs in the Diamond League often.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Come on Llopis! ;-)

 

[MCFC1993]

Holloway takes gold, think that was the most nailed medal all year.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Slightly slow, but tight distribution, so not a bad race.

Well done, Halloway (and Llopis!).

Serbia leads 54-43 over the USA at half time of the mens semi final basketball.

If you're of a delicate disposition, don't Google "peg urban dictionary".

That’s it 1 whole week without gadgets!! :-)

I don't think it will last but Serbia beating the US in the basketball semis would be an all-timer of an upset
