what a day, jon drummond really made my day! :p
seriously, that new regulation is pretty tough with only one false start allowed.. but regulations are there to be followed, so there was no need to protest the call..
but the spectators acted in the worst possible way, if you ask me.. no respect for the athletes whatsoever!
anyway, we've seen some other great stuff as well today, 10000m were very exciting, women's 100m as well.. let's hope everything goes well during the men's 100m tomorrow evening! |

he was a complete twat. and the french spectators were even bigger twats for not allowing the athletes to start. apart from that the competition has so far been very enjoyable. Carolina Kluft was simply amazing (and she has a great arse. shame about the face). Mens decathlon today shud be pretty interesting. |

you sweeds have some pretty good high jumpers and triple jumpers as well!
the only hope we belgians have is kim gevaert on 200m, and then again, her reaching the final would be a miracle!
anyway, what a men's 100m yesterday, 4 guys within the same one hundreth of a second!! who thought kim collins would be world champion?! great stuff! |

| I really wanted the Kenyan to win the steeplechase. The whole deal with the winner changing nationality and everything seemed really dodgy. Wasn't he promised money from the Qatar government if he won or something? |

well yeah, i find it quite fu**ed up as well... 2 weex b4 tha games he changes his nationality and vualia - the 1rst place for quatar... it's like if i was a billionaire i'd probably paid Ian Thorpe to swim for LTU in the Olympix'04Athens... |
