[Frutos]

Mens 100m Final at the World Athletics Championships.

Usain Bolt just absolutely BREEZED through his semi-final, and could be on course to do something a bit special again, so potentially well worth a watch if you like that kind of thing.

 

[Falkor]

Going to miss it sadly thought it was on bbc today.

Let me know how he does in Hyde park at charity bash. No tv.

 

[Frutos]

Last lap, Farah has broken early in the lead....can he hold on...

 

[Frutos]

Bollocks, went too early and has to settle for silver.

 

[Frutos]

Less than 10 mins until the big one.

 

[Jello]

Ortis, the gadget show bloke seems bit out of his depth hosting this.

 

[paddy]

False start, can't believe it

 

[Frutos]

Well, I wasn't expecting THAT.

 

[Jello]

Happens to the greats as well as the cheat Chambers

 

[patchamalbion]

[killer miller]

Gutted Usain Bolt!

 

[BASINGSTOKESEAGULL]

That false start rule has to change surely? Hope it isn't enforced for the London Olympics.

 

[guster]

That's why he's so fast normally

 

[Andrew]

What happened?

 

[Frutos]

What happened?

Bolt false started.

The way it works is that there are no second chances or warnings any more - one false start and you're disqualified.

 

[the munch]

FALSE START RULE..its good, alls fair learn to wait for the gun.

This.

The idea that someone can train day in day out for four years for an Olympic games, require so much sponsorship, and then be disqualified for ONE false start is wrong IMO. Yes, one can argue that if there are grounds to believe there was some means of distraction this decision can be rescinded, which I was suprised Bolt didn't argue, but often this is hard to determine. Two chances, as it was before this rule was introduced worked far better IMO.
