Tyson Gay's such an intense dude.

 

[Johnners]

Fmd there was a white bloke in the 100 metres heat just then.

Is Tyson Gay running? I thought he got banned?

Yeah 'n nah.

Nah, you're mixing him up with Gatlin, IMHO. He's copped a couple of enforced holidays now.

Yeah that's who I was thinking of. Cheers. And he's running too. Fmd

 

[Jacknife]

****ing Gatland, how the **** can a guy caught twice be allowed to run.

Beat Tyson in the US trials as well.

The 100m lacking Matt Shirvington with a pair of footy socks stuffed down his undies.

whats the stadium capacity? looks about a million

 

[Jacknife]

80k.

Only 80k I think. Poms don't build big stadia. Not a sporting race, really.

Apparently afterwards it's being turned into a 20-30,000 seat specialist athletics stadium, which actually makes a lot of sense.

Seems a right oily punchable **** if his interview is anything to go by too.

On our commentary Jonathan Edwards, Denise Lewis & then Michael Johnson all felt the need to say something like "whatever you think of his past..." before discussing him.

geez thats low. was at the sydney athletics on one of the early days. 110k - cheers made the hairs stand up. would love to go to one of the english soccer games just for the crowd

Hazel nailed that throw, PB.

Our comms are pretty ordinary tbh. I think one is Jane Fleming. The rowing commentary has James Brayshaw and he's an appalling cheerleader. Probably our worst aside from Ray Hadley.

Our rowing has Gary Herbert. He is hilariously funny as he is so biased but just screams like you do at home.

Woooh 9.88 from the yank, looked easy.

Is there any sport Brayshaw doesn't comm on?

Johnson towers over the rest of our lot, tbh. Talks like he ran: takes no prisoners.
