Bolt did an interview with media here and told them he's coming to Australia to play in the Big Bash.

Wafg.

Wafg.

That would be the greatest thing ever.

Tipping the top order to feign bad hammys, and Bolt to act as runner

 

[Burgey]

Want to see Bolt and Cosgrove running between wickets together.

Why Bolt ran so fast..

Just caught another replay...

He really earned it

He was seriously under the hammer in the first half of the race and didn't get the lead until about 60 or 70 in, before thundering home

He was all business right to the line, where he stuck his head right out and took no precautions - no looking arouund before the finish line

Reckon hurdle heats would be the most nerve racking thing. Heat just gone the bird next to (iirc) Lolo Jones was a ring-in, hit the first 3 hurdles and almost clipped Jones' heals in the midst of it.

At what point in a young girls life does she decide to stop playing with dolls and instead decide to dream of representing her country in shot put?

Ha, Steve Cram basically just accused the Algerian who won the 1500m semi of being on something on live telly.

"Now I've never seen Makhloufi run like this before. Never. & that's unusual to see this Algerian be this good...I'm not sure what I'm watching with Makhloufi there. That was something that was rather surprising in the heats and he's been equally as eye-catching in the semi."

Cram's mate thrown out for not trying.

Arf.

When they wake up surrounded by cake wrappers to find said dolls flattened underneath their bulk

Not looking good for Adams here. Well behind at the moment, needs a huge throw.

BBC player driving me insane at the moment too, keeps on dropping out.

 

[superkingdave]

That thing that's in the lead certainly aint no woman.

There's a suprising amount of munters in the pole vault, thought there was a minimum standard employed

Fraser-Pryce seems like a likeable bird.

The chick who just won the shot put looks like Rik, the guy who used to post on CW.

When her balls drop.

I've been to Belarus and there are some absolutely sensational looking women from that country but seriously ugly men

The gold medal winner falls into the latter category
