WTF is with that mask in the shot put?

She's always been an attention-seeker lol

(As if bright green hair wasn't enough)

 

[AdelaideGT]

Hmmm... AUS seems to have dropped young Sultana from the relay heat - hope he doesn't have an injury that will affect his World Junior campaign in a few weeks.

Lachlan Kennedy in to run the first leg.

lol what a *******.

Disappointing from Clay there. Been running 12.7’s in Europe. I wonder how put off she was by the athlete stumbling next to her

 

[AdelaideGT]

Hurdles disappointing for us. Thought Jenneke would make the semis from yesterday's heats with Liz also a chance.

But not to be

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Don't drop the stick girls.

 

[2 eazy]

Surely Keegan Palmer is one youngest people to defend an Olympic title.

The women's 100m relay heat, Australia facing some stiff competition in this one.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Last change was a bit rusty.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

about 0.30 slower than London run for national record a few weeks ago but 2nd fastest time for an Oz relay team.

 

[Plugger35]

Australia finishing 5th, they got mown down on that last leg after they looked to be a chance for 3rd.

 

[AdelaideGT]

Ta Lou (wasn't she supposed to be injured?) & Kambunji are much faster than Torrie so it would have taken a miracle for her to finish better.

Still a chance of scraping in - especially if any accidents in the second semi.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

The splits. That 2nd change by the yanks was poor went from 1st to 5th,

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Oz missed out on time. Ran 11th fastest time

 

[AdelaideGT]

Nope - we miss out

Hopefully the boys have better luck.

Rumours saying Noah Lyles will not run the 200 final and is heading to medical..

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Brits and French ran well, thought Jamaicans had a bad change at the end.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Rumours saying Noah Lyles will not run the 200 final and is heading to medical..

Any reason why?

 

[AdelaideGT]

Apparently Jenneke ruptured her hamstring in yesterday's crash - so no wonder she couldn't fire in the reps earlier.

 

[Plugger35]

That 4x100m final should be a cracker, USA look the favourites but Germany, Great Britain, France and Jamaica will be in the mix.

 

[AdelaideGT]

why?

Nothing I have seen to confirm anything for sure.

Arguably should have stuck with Lane, although Edwards ran well.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Great effort to break national record given 2 of the top 4 in Browning and Azapardi were missing.

From 1995 Gutenberg world champs and London 2012 was where previous national records were set.

No way an explosive athlete runs with a ruptured hamstring. Not worth the risk. I saw a compression bandage on her knee? Whatever the case she didn’t look right.

The selection for the relay is still a bit of a head scratcher for mine. Lane by far the best starter of all the girls. Should’ve kept Connolly on the 3rd leg.

 

[AdelaideGT]

Can't ask for more than a NR. Well done our Aussie boys.

 

[Plugger35]

The Aussie men have broken the national 4x100m relay record but still not good enough to make the final, a tough competition.
