You're the one who is making half of them so you can't talk.

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.

Technically everybody at the Olympics is an athlete.

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

Crossing fingers. Hoping she beats the thoroughly-doped Belarusians.

Bunch of Kenyans and Ethiopians to dominate long distance running...

Johnners · 10-08-2008, 05:49 AM

Not if Craig Mottram has anything to do with it.

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.

Perm · 12-08-2008, 07:47 AM

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

Goughy · 12-08-2008, 07:49 AM

For me, used to be Athletics when I was a Brit, now Track and Field now Im a Yank.

I go with whatever way the wind blows

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

_Ed_ · 14-08-2008, 09:42 PM

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