That Usain Bolt presser...

All valid questions I thought. I mean, as a man of the world, Usain Bolt should be up with the People's Front of Scotlandindependia and how they fair in their fight against the splitters of the Scotlandindependia Peoples Front. I'd also like to know about his thoughts in the wash up of the silly walk controversy and the **** of the year doping scandal.

Wow, double faulting in the first round of the decathlon has to be one of the stupidest things I have ever seen in athletics.

Interesting that boxing has done away with headgear

Amateur styles will have to change to accommodate it

 

[Furball]

Sooner the athletics finishes the better. Ruining my commute at the moment.

Doesn't look likely now does it?

If we keep cleaning up in Gymnastics you won't catch us.

Great win for the Saffers over NZ in the 7's. First time NZ have lost any match at Comm Games.

Kinda agree with the "It's not the Olympics" sentiment, but hey, it's sport.

Yeah but the thing about the Olympics is that most of the sport is a bit rubbish but you enjoy them because it is the Olympics.

Kenya being good at running, as per usual. Not quite as thrilling without the Green and gold of Ethiopia to compete against. Then again Australia are on slouches on the mid and long distance track.

Why don't the boxers have any head protection any more?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Burgey submitted a class action suggesting they harden the **** up.

 

[fredfertang]

Oh right - now you mention it there don't appear to be any Sri Lankans competing

Why don't the boxers have any head protection any more?

Think I read somewhere that a study showed the percentage of concussion injuries halved between having them on and having them off.

Loved seeing the Kenyan who learned the javelin from watching Youtube take gold last night.

 

[fredfertang]

Curious then that the girls still wear them

 

[dermo]

obviously when i said straya was going to win this i was referring to the only fair medal tally, the per capita medal table

 

[marc71178]

You mean the table that they came in 12th (behind NZ I note) and topped by Nauru?

 

[Furball]

Curious then that the girls still wear them

They can't exactly man up can they?

 

[andruid]

That javelin Gold put Kenya over the top as best track and field nation

The 2022 Commonwealth Games should be interesting. Birmingham were the only bidder but their bid isn’t good enough.
