Massive bust by the Women's Shot Put group between Saunders and Jackson
absolutely… I'm shocked! Women's hammer throw Price as well! And Tusaga-Collins and Deanna Price fouling out of the trials hurt too

Lewis talked to Carl Lewis about the US 4x100 and Carl is angry at the system and moving people around.

I just don't get it you have 3/4 of the regular team out there, and those three are in order 1-2-3.... just change the anchor!


Seems Carl Lewis completely agrees with you.

Just let him run it. I see no problem with that

Did I just see and hear that correctly that Hall scratched on her best ever throw while celebrating?
She wasn't exactly celebrating, more like she just had a brain cramp and had a little hop forward after she'd already stopped her momentum. It wasn't the equivalent of dropping the football while hotdogging it to the goal line, but it was definitely a brain cramp.

Does anyone know what Anna Hall final score would have been if she didn't scratch in the javelin?

It doesn't sound like it. Based on what I've read online, she did have a legal javelin throw that was almost as good as the one she scratched on. But that is just based on what I've read on a random message board.

Wow. I know jack squat about track, but it's a freaking 10,000 meter race. Why shave a couple of meters of when you know it's a DQ.

Edit: Announcer just said she (the announcer) misread her starting position, so it's legal.

Looks like she was legal.
Pahdz

That's weird though I gotta think if you started outside with a stagger you can't legally cut in if your spot was supposed to be inside.

No idea why Chebet is letting this turn into a tactical race.
94chem,
That, sir, was the greatest post in the history of TexAgs. I salute you. -- Dough

Dang Americans got cut adrift with 1 lap to go.

Hell of a finish by the Italian to keep 2nd from Hassan

Wonder what could have happened if she had gone 400 m earlier. Chebet has 200m speed, so probably wouldn't have mattered. But it gave the silver to the Italian and made Valby and Schweizer look better.

hopped on the line in her 1st attempt, then threw a PB on her second.
