Forum, do you think the TF in this Olimpics is fully supported by Rio. I see a lot of empty seats. I have witnessed past Olimpics with bigger stadiums and bigger crowds. Am I wrong on this?

Beach volleyball is the biggest lick.

On ah regular, clubs in the league doh normally fill stadia. But, ppl did their part. They came out to see Bolt.

If I lived there, I would be sampling various events rather than killing one.

Buy-in to this event seems to have come late. What would have been ideal is had an entity subsidized the attehdance of a few favela youths.

Looks like the gold medallist judoka's family had to settle for a seat on a couch in front de TV.

Also, not a lot of household names among their T&F contingent.

Multi-factorial?

Somebody need to tell these fellas that shouting doh make the javelin go further.

As far as I can tell, all the shouters is the men throwing the shorter distances.

How come the forumites eh talking about De Grasse?

STMB · « **Reply #292 on:** August 18, 2016, 08:40:52 AM »

Is St. Fort still injured? That was a poor anchor in the 4x100m, we went from tied for first to maybe third.

Trini1 · « **Reply #293 on:** August 18, 2016, 08:43:13 AM »

Did we qualify?

STMB · « **Reply #294 on:** August 18, 2016, 08:50:04 AM »

Yes. Two heats, top 3 and 2 fastest losers. But placement in the heats determine the lane draw in the finals.

STMB · « **Reply #295 on:** August 18, 2016, 08:52:54 AM »

Wow. Men just got in third. But Japan clearly ahead of Jamaica (w/o Bolt) in 37.68 (new Asian record)

asylumseeker · « **Reply #296 on:** August 18, 2016, 08:55:40 AM »

Not surprised by Japan, but my commentators seem very much so. Ignored them in the pre-race commentary.

Trini1 · « **Reply #297 on:** August 18, 2016, 08:55:52 AM »

Maybe we have to change the order?

Because we are also not discussing Kerron Clement? (He's up in a few minutes btw).
