Holy **** he did it. Arshad Nadeem is a generational talent. Let it be known that he's not really a Pakistani athlete as much as an athlete surviving in Pakistan. He didn't even have proper equipment going to practice with and had to go to Germany to train before the Olympics. It's like NZ winning a test in Australia in 1935.

Amen to that. USA 27 medals and counting in athletics. But Oz have more medals in athletics than GB atm, i only saw
the pole vaulter win, she might try martial arts when shes done with athletics the way she was fistpumping aftre
every jump. Perhaps if lyles hadnt pogoed around like a maniac b4 the 200m he might had more energy at the end,
plus if he really has covid he surely shouldnt have grabbed the other medalists. Then he seemed to be having a cardiac,
taking all the attention away from Tebogos achievement 19.46.

KJT had a good first day but so did thiam and some of the others, the gaps are quite small, but we saw thiam and KJT
smile on the same day, thats pretty unusual, they usually look so miserable. I think it could be the javelin that decides
the medals between Thiam KJT Vetter and Hall.

It annoys me when sprinters pull up before the line in finals. Tebogo eased off with 8m to go. Someone who knows better than me, how many tenths of second would he have been quicker if he carried on flat out? 19.35 could have been achieved?

If a bowler bowls a bouncer over keepers head on a short straight boundary and it hits straight into sightscreen, is it 6 wides?

Seems that Walcott-nolan ran faster than the heat muir and bell were in but as she only came 9th shes out.
Muir and bell will have to go some to get in front of the africans and jess hull. I think team GB came to paris
with high hopes in the athletics but we keep missing out by fractions of a second or inches.
