Sally Pearson really is something else.
Love the track and field finals, best bit I think. Men's 1500m final now.

You're talk of dodgy decisions for the Brits has been blasted with those two wins. Cuban defeats a Brit and the Irish fella gets a dodgy decision.

Gold for the dancing horse
If you want to see a horse show that is amazing then watch the Lippizanners.
True horsemanship that is wonderful.
Many of the moves originated from battles hundreds of years ago.

Is it just me detecting an underlying mistrust of the Algerian lads results from Steve Cram?MCFC1993 said:Gaylord du Bois said:A great race from the Aussie girl there in the 100 hurdles.

Its all to do with that 800m that he dropped out of during the race, IAAF said he had to run, so he was giving it all this before the race and then pulled up after 200m, obviously to save energy. IAAF said your DQ'd from all events for not trying although he didn't want to do it. He appealed and gave them a doctors note from the Algerian doctor.
That's why Cram seems skeptical about it because he quite clearly wasn't injured, what I will say is the Algerian was really impressive as Steve Cram said during commentary, I've never seen a kick sustained like that over the last 300m from a 1500m runner, I can see why Cram might think hmmm, but it was a slow race for the first couple of laps, so thats probably why.

I hear what you're saying but I picked up on this during the 1500 heats before his 800 run. His reaction was ambiguous to say the least.MCFC1993 said:Gaylord du Bois said:Is it just me detecting an underlying mistrust of the Algerian lads results from Steve Cram?MCFC1993 said:Sally Pearson really is something else.

A dodgy decision. Jay he won that fight clean. Level after the first 2 rounds. He hit the cleaner punches in the final round. Deserved winner and the kid will only get better and better.
I dont know what fight you were watching. Also the Cuban won that fight clean in my views he won the fight big in my view.
Also the Canadian was robbed in that fight getting beaten on Countback what a fucking joke he landed some clean shots in that final round and there is no wonder they lodged an appeal after the fight.
