    Off tangent comment maybe. Maybe for the #GOM thread. Maybe just being nostalgic. Maybe uber patriotic.

    But just watching 2nd chicks 1500m semi.

    Glancing across the screen showing the starters ... just checking if a Kiwi is involved ... scan quickly ... nup, no black singlet.

    Then it occurs to me that EVERY other country has to look twice for their colours, as some other country has a strip similar to someone else's.

    Love the black singlet.

    (Hence #GOM ... where black people, not white ... )

      Sifan Hassan wins her semi-final. She made it look so easy! Amazing athlete!

      Maybe Nethetlands get orange to themselves.

          Kipyegon looked very good so that will be one hell of a final.

                    PB for McPherson. Fastest qualifier on the 400m.

                          @voodoo I kind of hoped Frerichs could stay ahead.

                            Conditions look brutal.

                            Heaps of Aussies trained up here before departure. Should have come in summer

                                This fucking unit. 197cm and 176kg

                                First lift at snatch was 208kg was a WR.
                                Went on to lift 215 and 223. Without even trying.

                                Fuck a duck.

                                        Why don’t they get the men and women to throw the same hammer weight?

                                          It’s pretty crazy that Peter Snell ran the same winning 800m time ( 1:45.1) when he won gold on a cinder track in 1964.
