Summer Paris 2024 - Track & Field

[AdelaideGT]

6 months ago the Australian Junior (U20) record for 800m was 1-45.91.

Since then Peyton Craig has run faster than that eight times - EIGHT!!

And now it's 1-44.11 - which, just two years ago, would have been a senior record too.

He might be the one in 2032, on the track, that Oz will have great expectations of.

Payton Craig's look

I don't think a 70s pr0n-stache helps the running lol

He might be the one in 2032

We have got a lot of teens that will only be about 26/27 in Brissie - but a lot can happen between now and then.

You think Lyles shat himself too?

 

[PoopingHindi]

can anyone tell me who the guy calling the field events on the world feed is?
first name is John, surname starts with a T. I’ve tried to look it up but I can’t find it, they introduce him at the start but I can’t make sense of it. It’s doing my head in.

A couple of years back I was in hospital. Had to have unexpected surgery. The day after the op I was unable to walk or even stand up straight. Even the Doctors were baffled as to why.

They had to wheel me to the car park for me to drive home. I thought it was temporary and would be fine in a couple of weeks.

Two years later, I still need to use a walking stick to even put the bins out.

The human body is not totally predictable.

Sorry to hear that.....but Lyles hadn't had unexpected surgery, and he was a super fit elite athlete in his 20's. But agree the human body is a unique individual entity, very much like the human mind though. Good to see Lyles made a full recovery though.

Was more mocking Paul Pierce for his infamous wheelchair incident.

I don’t particularly like Lyles and think he probably could have made his own way out but if you are distressed and they put a wheelchair next to you, I dunno.

John Trower I think it is.

Yeah my comment was about why Pierce needed the wheelchair:

Throwback: When Paul Pierce Pooped His Pants During 2008 NBA Finals Against Lakers

After years of may be and may not be, it was only a recent time ago when Paul Pierce flipped the switch on what exactly happened at the 'Wheelchair Game'. Find out!

Heptathlon coming down to the 800m

If both Johnson-Thomson and Thiam were to run PBs then Thiam would win Gold by approx 4 points

 

[AdelaideGT]

He must be an old guy lol

He was twice UK 'Coach of the Year' and is a javelin specialist with former WR-holder Steve Backley & Mick Hill (World bronze) being two of his athletes.

He is a University Lecturer too.

KJT needs to out-run Thiam by about 8 & a bit seconds to grab the gold.

Relay's you beauty potential carnage always with them.

 

[Plugger35]

Some rain there, hopefully this doesn't cause any issues with the baton change.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

haha Sha'Cari great run and nice look across.

I reckon Germany had 2 bad changes so if I'm right wonder what the difference would have made.

 

[ReidBetweenTheLines]

Gotta love the relays. In the rain gotta make some athletes even more nervous.

 

[Plugger35]

The USA get it with a great last leg, powered past Great Britain and Germany, don't think the baton changes made a difference.

It looked like all 3 of the US, Britain and Germany had bad changes

Could've just been down to the weather

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Wait, didn't Jacobs pull a hammy?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Andre Degrasse goes home with another medal this time gold. 3 Olympics 3 lots of medals.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

In my best Tony Greig voice - The US had absolute CARNAGE out there.

 

[juice t]

Another classic botched US handover

Still haven't won the Men's 4x100m since Sydney
