Oldest one on the books I think Koch's WR.

Remember her looking straight like a geezer.

Some night of athletics this. Go on Mo.

 

[Jacknife]

Just been an unbelievable day of sport full stop.

Would love to have been in the Olympic Stadium tonight though.

No one's ever got close to Flo-Jo's (RIP) records, bizarrely enough.

Think Marita Koch (fnarr) still holds the 400m record too. Those wacky East Germans, eh?

Oldest one on the books I think Koch's WR.

Yeah that was the one that sprang to mind first. 47.6 IIRC for a race where, a generation later, sub-50 is an achievement.

A few in the field were dodgy too but I think they got reset.

Prefer your world and Olympic records in clean sports like cycling, mate?

 

[Jacknife]

Come on Mo, picking up now 5 left.

 

[Burgey]

10k always such a great event. Love it

 

[GIMH]

Amazing

 

[grecian]

Wow, just wow, incredible night

 

[Jacknife]

That was ****ing amazing, bossed it in the end and his best mate gets 2nd.

 

[Scaly piscine]

3 gold medals in less than an hour. 3 absolutely dominated gold medals to boot. Sweet.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Some night. FANTASTIC

GO GB

Could do with a feed.

 

[Jacknife]

Really has been a special day, hardly moved from the couch and got a sore throat from shouting.

 

[Burgey]

Seriously, Jamaica and sprinting. Ridiculous.

Lewis Jetta > Carmelina Jeter.

Lewis Jetta > Carmelina Jeter.

Carmelita has racked up more hard ball gets.

 

[Jacknife]

Very fast race that, can't wait till the mens final we could be on for a WR.

LOL they just stopped the cricket to watch that final.

 

[Burgey]

Not as many tackles though.

Every time I see Coe, I like to think that somewhere else in London Steve Ovett is handing out alternative medals.
