Olympic Track and Field thread

All these threads are annoying me.
Threads about Olympic sports in the Olympic forum? Whoda thunk it?!!

Track & Field is the spotlight of the Olympics for most people, and you think there shouldn't be a thread? good one

Could a mod change the thread title to "Olympic Athletics Thread" please. Athletes compete in athletics.

Valerie Vili to win NZ's only Track & Field gold at these Games. In fact it might be our only medal in Track & Field.

Found myself calling it Track & Field lately for some reason. It's odd, because when I used to run, I used to refer to training as going to the "track" but would never call the sport anything other than Athletics.

Always called it Track and Field tbh, but used to say Athletics Day when I was at school.

100m heats started. Despite the fact that he's American, I hope Tyson Gay smashes both Bolt & Powell.

Bolt & Powell both hugely impressive in their heats. Both slowed to a jog in the last 10.

Didn't catch Powell's heat but saw Bolt cruise home in first with ridiculous ease, as you say the final 10 metres was basically a jog. It'll be one hell of a final thats for sure.

Again Bolt jogs in.

9.92? No way! He didn't get out of second gear!

Tyson Gay will not make the final. :ph34r: Powell and Bolt will be 1 and 2 in the final. You saw it here first.
