The 2012 Olympics Thread - Its Over :(

Re: The 2012 Olympics Thread (7th August, Page 193)

Is it just me detecting an underlying mistrust of the Algerian lads results from Steve Cram?

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.

Put BBC1 on now mate, Crammy's on the couch and they're showing the 1500m final.

Completely off topic, but "Bad hair day" on the other thread has to be drollery at its finest.

Basically mentioning the doctors note and that he's come out from under the woodwork this year and ran some really fast times, but was relatively unknown before then. So it was a bit of a surprise.

Haha, convicts we may be, but if there is a country made up of more moaning bastards than the UK, I have not been there.
