Almost as bad as Szabo in 2000, and in El G in i think '96. 1500m is a prick for people getting tripped. Was amazed at his interview after. Seems like a great bloke.

I doubt she'll be booed because so many of the people who go to these events are the painful to watch "patriotic" types with the face paint and flags chanting "aussie aussie aussie" who prolly need the rules of a 400m race explained to them. /rant.

3. El Guerrouj 2. Phelps 1. Thorpe Special mention to Paula Radcliffe for upholding the English sporting spirit and failing to finish her two events.

Agree. The 5,000m final was magic last night. Tactically perfect by El Guerrouj - i got the impression he had Bekele very unsure of when to make his run, and sweeped past him with relative ease in the end. Legend, and there aint many of them.

Women's basketball is pathetic. That was torture.

At least you'll be in an inspired mood.

Opals in Basketball final. Womens 1,500m final. Mens 800m final. Mens 5,000m final. Not to mention Arsenal at 2am, very busy night in front of the T.V, can't wait :D

That was great to see. To be honest i only got up to see the womens 10km final but this was far better :D

That really happen ? twats. Would be because Kenteris wasn't cheating his way to victory again.

Bekele vs El Guerrouj in the 5km in a few days. Bekele should get up but El G will be running with less weight on his shoulders than perhaps ever before.

I thought he was gone with 100m left, but he found something. Noone more deserving of Gold, actually brought a tear to my eye.

On that note Yana Klochkova deserves a mention...

Phelps, just for the number of gold. Hoogie and Thorpe about equal, Thorpe would get the nod if he had brought the relay home.

Fair bloody effort to win again.

Boomers + Thorpe > USA

lol Bekele is mental. He was hitting invisible powerups that last lap - 53 seconds.

On about 5am or so Sat morning. Been waiting 4 years for this one. Was the best event of the last Olympics IMO. Bekele should win but it would be magic if Haile could get up again.

Heal drives me crazy. Agree with the above thoughts. Great effort though, loved the first half, especially the first period.

I cannot believe i stayed up all night watching that. The Ukrainian women couldn't even save it.

This is small consolation for Perec not running and beating cathy in 2000.
