47.7 split form McLaughlin is crazy. Second fastest ever.

Well her coach is Bob Kersee, that's enough for concern, at least.

 

[Kram]

History from Jess Hull to take the silver, would have been even better without Twateley and his cringe calling.

Made this point earlier - McLaughlin has always been a world beater. That is not how dopers look.

Sudden massive improvement midway through a career though? That’s the profile.

Just realised India don’t have 1 gold medal at all this week Olympics. Got 1.4 billion people. Do they put any funding into sports other than cricket?

They've won 10 gold medals in total, and eight of those were in men's hockey.

Have heard Harsha Bhogle say that hockey was the national sport until only 30-40 years ago. Cricket World Cup win in 1983 was the moment it began to change, from memory.

Also, putting funding into sports is a very first-world thing. There are hundreds of millions of Indians who live in poverty, I suspect the government has more important things to spend money on.

Other than Tubby in the diving, the world feed on 9now is usually the better option but the American they had on the Athletics sometimes was clueless.

Can't wait to see what her plan is post-Paris. You get the feeling she cleans up in whatever discipline she focuses on.

she’s signed up for Michael Johnson’s Grand Slam Track so we at least get to see her race for a change.
I’m not 100% on the format but pretty sure every athlete does 2 events depending on what category they’re in. That’s 8 Sydney races in one year alone.

Fascinated to see if Hassan can contend in this marathon after less than 36 hours rest from the 10k final...I see she's also run the 800m at the 2015 World Champs & Rio Olympics...The range is ridiculous lol

What’s the deal with those headbands?

 

[PoopingHindi]

Sinead gone already. There were rumours she was injured. Lisa Weightman will be pissed.

 

[Royces Hart]

**** Diver out already, what a shame.

 

[AdelaideGT]

Sinead had hardly competed in the last 18 months so I'd always figured she had some injury issues.

 

[AdelaideGT]

What’s the deal with those headbands?

They are cooling headbands often used by triathletes.

They evaporate liquid - including sweat I figure.

Dave Culbert made some pretty scathing comments.

Dave Culbert made some pretty scathing comments.

Well, he was once a selector and was criticised back in the day for some decisions he made too.

 

[Sydney Kicker]

Not about the selection although that was controversial of course. Was suggesting if Diver knew she was obviously injured she should have given up her position to Weightman.

Jess Stenson making a move on the hill. what am I watching?

 

[largebus]

What a recovery by Stenson
I like that she's attacking the field, she's not going to withstand their later moves even if she just sticks with them.

 

[Sydney Kicker]

Not sure what to make of Stensons move. Great to show out like this, hope she can go on with it.

 

[AdelaideGT]

Expected the Aussies to come home strong but not to push up so early as this.

But Jess is experienced and knows her body I guess.

Hit a bad patch now

 

[Royces Hart]

Dakota Lindwurm.

Sounds like something that’s fatal to livestock.

 

[largebus]

Yeah they're getting dropped on the uphill drags but can hopefully come back on the downhill
And they're back

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Go Jess go. Maybe a bit of training in the Adelaide Hills is helping out.

The Jesses have delivered for the Aussies so far this game maybe one more.

Farnsey and ONJ sang Dare to Dream at the opening ceremony in Sydney. I'm sure Jess is.
