The BBC already reffering to him as the 'great white hope'. Oh dear. Aint that the kiss of death.

The joke is that he just might be - want to know how many athletes of any color in history have run that fast at 19?

Seems like Chambers tightened up and lost it. All things equal, the stronger man should win in a -1.0m/s race but Chambers did not look fluid in the second half of the race at all.

...because the man is good and they still in shock. Not even the Italian give him props.

I telling allyuh.... France challenging for we relay medal!

Nice to see Mark Lewis Francis back in the mix again. He is UK version of DB. Talk about injuries and obstacles hes had to overcome. I remember his right achilles went in 2008 and it look like that was it. Then his left went in 2009. They thought that was surley it for him. Even though 10.18 is not really a threatning anything. Its good to see him still running.

I saw him literally round the corner from my house he looking rel big. Im glad he's back running well- wasn't expecting him to run there either. After all he was having a chinese lol. That was Dwain's race for the taking! But well done to Christophe he's been running well and deserved it. I depise how the media here like the bbc hype him up. It seems like when the bbc/british media hype you up you have to jump in a nex career field one time. I think the most shocking thing is how he is only 20 and NOT because he is white. Props to him and i hhope he has a long and successful career.
