@act-crusader just saw a tweet that said we had finished 4th place five times. No wonder he's emotional

Yeah mate. Between Olympics, World Champs and other comps, they have found themselves in 4th a fair bit.

The emotion really spilling over with Mills, Ingles, Goorj.

Interviewer and Mills emotional.

Gee he's good at the talking, I must say. Represents well.

4 x 400m men's relay.

USA win gold in a season best, but the biggest surprise are the Dutch, who win silver in only their second appearance in this event (1980 being the first). Botswana win Bronze, I think they said in an African record.

Lol. Basically I haven’t been watching the Olympics and of course I don’t see any New Zealand coverage so I’m way behind :-).

Should win from here

[mikedogz]

He is number 3108, wearing a white singlet with Zebra like black wavy stripes. Natural hair colour, making him look like his twin brother.

[Donsteppa]

Impressive run from him so far to be with the leading bunch at the halfway mark.
