I believe it involves running...at that point I lost interest.
As I always say if the good lord wanted you to run he would have given us four legs.

Anyone watching it just now?

That Otis bloke from the gadget show is presenting it & he is fucking horrendous.

That looked harsh on Chambers, does rocking in your blocks count as a false start

Post by **Knots & crosses** » Sun Aug 28, 2011 10:36 am

Yeah, it's all about pressure on the blocks.

Harsh, but thems the rules.

Is he eligible for the Olympics next year or still banned.

P.S are you up for the quiz on Monday, your missing application has been noticed.

I don't think he is, drugs ban means he's fucked.

Not sure about tomorrow, lots going on.

Good race over last 600 metres, didn't think Mo could be caught.

That would of been worth a punt, Bolt beaten in the final.

False start.

Silly boy.

Post by **D & B** » Sun Aug 28, 2011 12:56 pm

Daft rule, one false start and out. Did they change it due to the effect on the time scheduling of later events?

Post by **Knots & crosses** » Sun Aug 28, 2011 1:04 pm

It's been the rule for a while.

Whilst it's unfair, everyone knows it's the rule.

Post by **D & B** » Sun Aug 28, 2011 1:19 pm

Not disputing that, but can't see why the old, old rule of 2 individual false starts needed to be changed.

Post by **Knots & crosses** » Sun Aug 28, 2011 1:21 pm

They evolved that into one generic warning, then DQ.

Not sure why they got rid of that.

Post by **Randall** » Sun Aug 28, 2011 5:35 pm

they did it becasue the better starters were false starting at times on purpose on the first start so the others sat back on the second.

Post by **Knots & crosses** » Sun Aug 28, 2011 6:21 pm

Seems fair.

Post by **D & B** » Sun Aug 28, 2011 6:26 pm

So why abandon the original 2 individual false starts in the first place?

I heard that blade runner guy finished last in his race. Good.
