Why is lane 1 not been used in any of the track events?

Somebody sabotaged it before the Olympics started and re-laid it using quicksand. Therefore, it cannot be used. Surprised you didn't hear about it; it was all over Sky News and the Beeb.

Olympic lanes. People are so confused as to whether to use them or not, as if they do, they could receive a fine.

Ba-boom, tish!

Everyone knows FloJo was a cheat, just a shame that she was never caught. If you notice the commentators very rarely refer to her records.

Very true.

And she and her ilk were one of the main reasons I lost interest at the time.

Carl Lewis has broken his silence on allegations that he was the beneficiary of a drugs cover-up, admitting he had tested positive for banned substances but claiming he was just one of "hundreds" of American athletes who were allowed to escape bans.

"There were hundreds of people getting off," he said. "Everyone was treated the same."

Lewis has now acknowledged that he failed three tests during the 1988 US Olympic trials, which under international rules at the time should have prevented him from competing in the Seoul games two months later.

watched a programme on the Atlanta Olympics where a Scientist tested specimens & he started with the 100m & worked his way up,he binned it after finding FUCkIN FIFTY & deciding it wouldn't benifit anyone by going on.
Should have named the lot of them.

Is this a day without any GB medals so far?

I think so. Nicola Adams has effectively upgraded her bronze boxing medal to a silver (at least), but it's not a new medal.
