Americans are heavy favourites aren't they?We deadset have to win the 4x100 here, if not it's officially a choke for mine.
The thing that makes it look like a choke more than anything is we've done so well in the heats and semis in so many events yet failed to reproduce the form on the big stage. Still on the other hand we have things like the women's relay where the exact opposite happens.WR Holder doesn't mean you're the best in your event though, Crocker holds the 100m 'fly world record, for one...
But yeah, a touch below standard but medals are medals for mine and we should be proud of them AFAIC. Most other countries would give everything for the medals we've won.
dont think soAmericans are heavy favourites aren't they?
Forgot about the womens race, was thinking of the Men's.dont think so
Nah no way, we were huge favourites.Americans are heavy favourites aren't they?
Yeah I think Sullivan pushed himself too hard in the 100m semi. He seemed like he wanted to prove he was the best over the Frenchy and smashed his own WR and then looked a bit lethargic in the final.The thing that makes it look like a choke more than anything is we've done so well in the heats and semis in so many events yet failed to reproduce the form on the big stage.
Yeh fair enough, America are starting $1.10 favourites for the Men's race. Doesnt mean a lot though considering Leisel Jones started $1.02 favourite for the 200m?? breatstroke the other day and lost.Forgot about the womens race, was thinking of the Men's.
Nice win.
