Bolt a frustrating hoor. I wish he'd just leave the hammer down and see what number he gets.

It's about getting through semi and winning gold. I suspect he may go eyeballs-out in the final.
Aye hope so. I'm struggling here!

Mageean faded badly in that race. Was looking well placed.

yeah, she has the quality though but looked like she needs more time and more conditioning. This probably came too soon for her.

Wasn't much celebrating out of him.

It's getting ridiculous. Michael Johnson thinks it's real. Ffs

The 2 men he beat would be classed as exceptional at this level and he was eating them up, did hear he was fairly good coming into this but that's a big improvement on previous runs i believe in the most awkward lane

Get the drugs test kit out!!

Van Niekerk has form. Why should a 16 year old record not be broken. This lad has a more efficient and classy style than Johnson had. Johnson had great strength but not as smooth as this kid. This lad is a Ferrari.

His stuff wasn't as developed.

BBC. They're still praising female 10000 mts.

"Fairly good" ffs. He's the reigning world champion and us the only person in history to break the 10, 20 and 4r second barriers for 100m, 200m and 400m. Yeah, he's "fairly good" alright.

Interesting to hear Johnson being a good sport about it. His record is gone I don't believe it.

I would give the benefit of the doubt to her and that performance by Van Niekerk.
