Let's go Australia, Olympics thread

This is simply amazing. Such talent and obvious dedication.

If you study sport at University in Japan, as part of education degree or anything, it is compulsory to do gymnastics as a large component of that study, and perform in routines. They travel all over the world to perform and are just so good.

I have never been so confused by the love for Bolt. The most self obsessed person in sport. Happy to call out anyone, but dont put you finger to your lips after beating him, he will tell the world of your disrespect. This guy is an total hypocrite. To bhusy showing off to all that he can win without trying.

Its showmanship.

 

[whitey_1975]

Its showmanship.

Nah, imo its over the top. How can an athlete tell another to slow down and not beat me. Total w***er.

He was laughing and asking him why he was trying so hard in a semi final. De Grasse was laughing along too.

The guy is the greatest athlete we've ever seen, if anyone can be arrogant its him.

He wasn't laughing post race.
And I think there are a few athletes ahead of him (depending on your definition of athlete)

Hmmm maybe, but he would be mighty close.

Am I reading correctly that Basketball is 730am tomorrow?

 

[jbanger]

You do realise that they are mates who not only have the same sponsor (Puma) but also train together and have raced each other countless times?

Much better winner is a humble one, IMO.

What day do the Olympics end? With the Boomers semi final on Saturday morning, there must be a pretty short break until the final.

"A more realistic 11.5 to 12 seconds"

That's pretty unfair on Cameron. He's pretty fast, I reckon he'd do sub-11 seconds.

He'd be in with a fair shout at the Australian athletic championships then, slowest quali time for the final this year was 10.71.

It says it takes Bolt 60m to accelerate; let's say Charlie takes 30 to get to 35km/hr.

70m @ 35km/hr: 7.2s
30m @ 25km/hr (as an average) : 4.3s

Total: 11.5s.

Cracking 11 for 100m is top-shelf.

 

[SydCrow]

Charlie does it for two hours.

Bolt is fine. He's West Indian mon.

Don't blush baby

[hey shorty]

A sub 11 second 100m is unbelievably fast.

So its probably answered before, but why are Great Britain allowed to compete as Team GB at the Olympics and Worlds yet in Comm Games they're all split ??

We should team up with New Zealand.

McKeown banned from closing ceremony for having a big night, and a 2am curfew instituted.

That's rubbish.

Didn't the swimming finish days ago? Who cares how late they stay out? Reeks of homework-gate with the cricket.
