2011 IAAF World Athletics Championships.

I think the chinese are bad loosers. I saw nothing other than Liu struggling himself at the last hurdle.

I thought the same thing until I looked at the video. The replay is very clear in slow mo at 5:50:

Well, you know what they say happens when you start 'assuming'.

Seriously, though, do you know the flags of countries in Latin American, Eastern Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia? If so, I'm impressed, but I'm betting you're in the minority.

For what it's worth, I'm confident I could name the capitols of all 50 U.S. states.

Well, I'm European so I reckon I could manage pretty much all of Europe (would struggle with a few) can do most of Africa and Latin America. I'd struggle with places like Laos and Cambodia but I'm geussing they don't have many athletes competing at this level (at least I can't think of any...)

All fifty state capitals? I'd sturggle to even do the States!!

Thanks . Didn't get the chance to see the replay from that angle. Uncomfortable situation for everyone. Richardson wasn't exactly joyfull for getting the medal during the interview.

I have been reading local papers, German 1996 silver decathlon medalist Frank Busemann said that Bolt fake false start to overcome Pistorius glory

Isimbajeva, what is wrong with her, once she was so easy over 5,00m even on training, or meetings to collect really big money

The last cadre to win the Golden League have suffered a lot recently: Bekele, Isinbayeva, and Sanya Richards.

They're getting oldish. Maybe clinic issues (in that they're leaving behind the clinic issues?)?

5k heats coming soon

incredible!usa,great britain and spain just beat the shiit out of kenya and ethiopia.times are changing...

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Just saw them on the Triple Jump Final.
This girls have real long legs. Wow.

Catherine Ibargüen from Colombia

Mabel Gay (the right one) from Cuba

 

[More Strides than Rides]

Yeahhhhhh Jenny Barringer!

And Kemboi's win and celebration was impressive.

 

[canyonball]

Fact of the day:
Denis Kostyuk is an ucranian rider from Lampre-ISD. He's also married with Olha Saladukha, 2011 Triple Jump World champion. LINK.

Kemboy get's the "run of the day", for me. The way he exploded to the finish line... a moment hard to forget.

Thanks.
I don´t like extra muscles on good looking women. So she even looked better before with those killer legs? Double-Wow. I am jealous of her husband.

Yes the Javelin competition was great, only that ESP didn´t show live pictures b/c of that bad camera men in Korea. That´s annoying...

 

[RedheadDane]

I like athletics! I even had it as a subject on one of my old schools. No points for guessing how well I fared at shot-putting!

 

[kielbasa]

oh my, pole snapped in 2 pieces as the athlete was surging up...never saw this before. i wonder, can they sue the company making them if a serious injury results ?

They can if they're American.

Not necessarily. A pole snapped by a Pole , and a woman:

Actually, my original post was meant as a comment on how litigious we Americans have become.

Ha! I guess I jumped the gun a bit.

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Sally Pearson - Gold - Well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah. It was the 7th best time ever. Well done.

P.S.: ... and she looks cleanish

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

I guess 19,7 or false start for Bolt
Dix 2nd
Lemaitre 3rd

Nice Foxxy, but why not putting money on 1-2-3 ?? I could be rich now.

 

[slim charles]

Great race for Lemaitre! Really glad for him.

Bolt, well, needless to talk about him, guy is a legend.

 

[goggalor]

Lemaître is so quick at the end, he almost almost caught Dix. What an amazing talent. Loved seeing him pip Chaimbers in the 100 m last year, and he's even faster this year, especially on the 200 m.

And another unbelievable time by Bolt. 19.40! Wasn't this supposed to be a slow track (since no one expected a world record on the 100 m)?

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Most races had headwind, only today it shifted. The race track has the same fast material as in Berlin...

So we got really good times today.
