Wayde van Niekerk is a fucking hero. Too knackered to do a lap of honour.
Reckon Gatlin will be happy to be inside Bolt for 200m so he'll be able to watch him the whole way round the bend

400m was class today, really enjoyed it. Getting closer to Michael Johnson's seemingly untouchable record again.

I have no idea what to expect for the 200, Bolt looks like he cruised it but Gatlin has looked solid and only lost the 100 because he choked. Intriguing race.
Aye 400m was stacked, surprised James wasn't closer until I saw the times, ridiculous depth.

Too fucking right she does, fastest qualifier for the final tomorrow, another PB, close to the British record and she didn't even look like she pushed all the way. Her and Schippers will be an awesome race tomorrow.
Christine O (can't spell her last name for love nor money) in the 400m final shortly, again peaking at the right time. Then it's time for Gatlin Bolt 2, where I think Bolt will be chasing Gatlin down the back straight all the way.

Good signs for Rio too. Doubt he'll continue beyond there but hopefully he can go out on top with another 2 (well 3 inc. relays) gold medals.
Think he's pretty comfortable at 200m. 100m will still be a challenge if Gatlin is still running consistent 9.7s - which at his age you do have to say fair play if he's doing it clean.

Think he said he plans to retire after 2017 and the World Championships in London will be his last event.
I reckon there's a chance he'll only run the 200m as of next year, too many niggling injuries trying to double up and although the 100m is the more prestigious event, he loves the 200 and he's far less likely to lose there.

Really and truly Schippers ran a WR in the 200m today as the only two people who have faster times were dirty as fook.

Was a bit disappointed that Dina came fifth until I saw the times.
Mental time from Schippers.

What fucking cunts Kilty and Ellington are, and to think I thought Mark Lewis Francis was deluded.

Pikey Kilty and Ellington covering themselves in no glory coming out publicly blaming Ujah for botched changeover in 4 x 100m saying if Harry ran the last leg they'd have medaled and even if Dina Asher-Smith ran it they'd have gotten it.
Ellington then going on twitter giving it large to anyone including people like Kelly Sotherton.
What a couple of twats.
Give me a team of Hughes, Gemili, Ujah and Dasaolu anyway. No offence to Talbot & HAA who were collateral damage.

Yeah thought at the time Kilty was coming across as a massive prick. Spent all the time after the race giving out to everyone.
America really fucked up the final changeover, they could have tested the Jamaicans because I think.they were a few metres ahead after a good bend by Gay.
