All I'm concerned about is the 100M races so I can see the Green Black & Yellow flag making it's victory lap again.
Track &Field 2009 World Championships Live Stream Day 2
- Thread starter SABU
- Start date
well the fans are definitely enjoying themselves
i was just thinkin...don't know if the IAAF should have had the 100 happen so early. this thing goes on until the 23rd and the ppl that don't really follow track and field like us only care about this (more or less). would have thought they would try and milk the hype a lil
They would had to switch the schedule with the mens 200 1st and then the 100 later. But then again the only time the IAAF made the switch was when Michael Johnson was going for the 200-400 double
There's still the 200M races as well as the relays
is Bolt planning on running the 200? or the relay or that matter? not sayin that they are idiots for not doing it but ppl have been talkin about this 100 final from way back when, i'd just figure they'd try and get the most out of it
He is running the 200m but I'm not sure about the relay
These bitches screaming while doing the shot put are scaring the bejesus outta me
yea thats y i said Gay would be a close 4th, shit even if Gay starts off better than the rest, he doesnt have breakaway speed from the rest.
Yeah he's doing the 200 and he'll be in the finals for the 4x100 if they don't get dq'd or don't finish the race
So what do you guys think about the new false start rule they are about to have? For those that don't know, the current rule is if one person false starts a warning is issued to the rest of the runner and the next one (regardless if you had the 1st one or not) to false start is DQ'd.
The new rule is that you're DQ'd if you have a false start period. (correct me if i'm wrong)
The new rule is that you're DQ'd if you have a false start period. (correct me if i'm wrong)
I like the rule , cause there are times where folks will false start on purpose to fuck with the other runners. So now this will cut out that bullshit.
I see what you mean but I like the current rule b/c it helps with the nerves, especially for the young runners (like those 18-20 that are competing for the first time in such a large stage). I think it'll lead to ppl have worse starts (for the most part) b/c they'll probably sit in the blocks more so that they don't get DQ'd.
Hey it's the risk, i mean in high school it's one, college it's one so it's good that's it's gonna be universal
Am I the only one that thinks Valerie Villi is a cutie?
in about 15 mins...3:30
I agree. Also it would take like 15 mins just for 1 heat to be completed slowing down everything else. At least this way the events happen on time.
Didn't know it was going for high school as well, interesting. Yea its a risk, but it didn't seem that the current one cause many problems. Don't know if the athletes complained about it but it didn't really take much away from the competitions
Cause shit if your are in the blocks you control the race. Everyone should wait on you. Now if your aren't comfortable then raise your hand and then starter will call you up. Now you can relax run your race and it's all good lol. I know cause i use to do that shit all the time lol
Thats what I'm thinking...more ppl will raise their hands and it will come to a point where the officials will be like fuck it if your not comfortable thats your problem we got a race to run, *BANG*
Right you only do it once cause they will get pissed lol
I was fortunate enough to never have anyone pull that bullshit when I was running the 100M &55M(indoor track) races.
They hypin this shit for no reason, Bolt will set a world record!!!!!
Lol yeah you pic your spots when you do it. Cause you don't want to have that label of you bullshittin with the starters lol
Thanks, here we go.
