        I never knew high jumpers were so emotional. What a farking cavalcade of tear sessions.

            @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.

                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 :-).

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

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

                                        Spreading out a bit now. He will do well to finish top 20. Bloody hot and humid.

                                          Apparently an Aussie out after 10km. Thought it was the Park Run?

                                          In all seriousness, it must have been an injury. Getting one that early must be absolutely soul destroying.
