2016 Summer Olympics Rio

I don't think anyone believes this woman is clean...

Except George Hamilton.

5 runners had ever broken 30 minutes. 3 did it in that race alone. But 14 seconds!  Sonia looks as if she is sick of it.

The first 13 finishers set either a world record, national record or a personal best!!!

Pavey had her 5th best time ever at 40 odd. No way she would be doping though.

If it's a fast race and an olympic final I can see how it would push some but that number seems big.

[gallsman]

Didn't even realise this was on or would have turned on. How come the final of one of the marquee events was on so early the first day?

[imtommygunn]

they need to get it out of the way for the 5k. That aside I'm not sure.

Glad Britton / McCormick chose not to be in this now as she *only* runs 32 and a half so wouldn't have counted. Hopefully she'll go sub 2:30 sunday.

[gallsman]

Ah I know but normally it would at least be at night.

Ross Tucker pointing out that relative to others, Ayana's performance nowhere near as impressive as Radcliffe's based on time alone. Fair point.

Why is the track blue? Looks odd.

Probably turn green any day

Seamus Power in the top 7 of the golf after his 2nd round

[Tony Baloney]

Has someone gone round that track to make sure it's 400m?!

[moysider]

Splits for Ayana.....14.46 and 14.31.....laughable

The second would be an Olympic record for 5K I believe.

[An Watcher]

Haven't seen the actual rowing final.  RTE one doesn't seem to be working. Anyone any links to watch it

[moysider]

This 20k walk race is a joke. The winner here clearly has both feet off the ground at the same time.

They all seemed to be running at one point or another during it.
Why also did they not have a out and back course 10k each way. Made it boring watching them on that looped road course.

Seamus Power up to 4th spot now in the Golf.

Crazy stuff. One foot shold be in contact with ground  at all times and the leading leg should straighten when it strikes as well. the winner wasn t doing either imo.

Agree about the loops. Hope they don t do that with the Marathon!
