Impressive 20.56 in Vili's first attempt in the women's shotput final, 2m ahead of the nearest rival so far.

Think you tend to need a little more than 21 to win. Belarusians have tended to make that recently.

 

[_Ed_]

Definitely. But she's certainly started well. 20.40 second attempt, no others have hit 20 yet.

Tyson Gay will not make the final. Powell and Bolt will be 1 and 2 in the final. You saw it here first.

So far........

Rose's first good call in four years on the site

 

[_Ed_]

Should be a great final. Means I'll have a short night in bed but it'll be worth it.

Vili still leading in the shotput with that first attempt, in the second to last round now...

 

[roseboy64]

Meh....

 

[headhunter]

Looking forward to the final, Bolt looking so so good.

Won it she did.

Vili = awesome.

 

[duffer]

9.68 while easing up. Holy ****.

 

[_Ed_]

****!

 

[roseboy64]

Wtf? Powell........

 

[pasag]

 

[headhunter]

Bolt breaks 100m world record...at ease.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Man, if Bolt had've gone flat out he could've gone 9.6 there. 9.69 seconds & he was showboating!!!

 

[Jamee999]

****. 9.68?

 

[_Ed_]

Haha, well said.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Unbelieveable.

 

[Johnners]

Hahaha, holy ****. Gobsmacked

*jaw drops*

 

[Jamee999]

You shouldn't be able to win a gold medal by that much.
