Not randomly at all. He's been famous for some years. I even mistakenly thought this was his second time into the final...SELR_addicks said:Person from China randomly pops up to get the best time in the 100m.
Hmmmmmmmmmm.
At 31 years old runs his fastest ever time by a 0.1 gap (big gap in sprinting).
He's suspicious.
Takes a year off before the Olympics so I wonder if he was tested in 2020.0 -

Superb jump there from Rojas.0

That Venezuelan triple jumper was 6 feet long at birth i reckon. Never seen someone so gangly.6

Fair play to Brandon Starc, couldn't walk when game of thrones finished and now in an Olympic high jump final.2

Never really watched the olympics before, always thought they would be pretty boring. 2012 I was lucky enough to be working at hyde park in an Olympics event around the athletes (BT London Live) so that passed me by purely because I was in the heart of it if that makes sense.
I tuned in today for the first time and haven't been able to switch off. I didn't realise how quickly it would switch between different sports and how little time would be "filler." You really don't need to be interested in the individual sports to get excited.
Especially when the Portuguese triple jumper looks like that, my lord.1 -
Always been my favourite event…..3 -
Reminds me a bit of Katarina Johnson Thompson0

She’s basically in the sand after her hop & skip ffs. No one else had a chance.ValleyGary said:That Venezuelan triple jumper was 6 feet long at birth i reckon. Never seen someone so gangly.2 - Sponsored links:

Least Italians aren’t dramatic3

Beautiful to see them both get gold.. I think that's what they've done?1
-
Wonder if that's ever happened before.
Think they wanted it all wrapped up before the 100m final.0 -
what an afternoon of athletics. the women's triple jump and men's high jump will go down as 2 of the great moments in the sport. and we've yet to have the showpiece 100m final1

The official didn’t even decide. “Possibly”
Italian rolls round on floor.2 -

She was so relaxed, I thought she wasn't going to complete the jump - then she got the WR!Addickted said:

I've just measured my floor to ceiling and it's 2m34, mental to think the high jumpers just jumped higher with only a run up!!!!3

If there was a medal for false starting - we’d piss it.5

American Dad and Italian mother, Jack Hobbs wins the 100M.
Anyone get their Yankee up with the Euro's, Euro song Contest, Bereni in the High jump and the 100M ?

Yeah Italians getting on my tits this year4

Don't like the high jump thing. Mutually deciding to share a gold? Not on.5

If the great Michael Johnson said there's no excuse for a false start.

All the heights, speeds and distances are normalised a bit by them all completing, whereas when you really think about it they are crazy.Chef_addick said:I've just measured my floor to ceiling and it's 2m34, mental to think the high jumpers just jumped higher with only a run up!!!!
Ilfracombe in Devon has a mosaic measured out to Jonathan Edwards's triple jump world record and you stand by it and think "This, in 3 jumps? That's impossible, surely?"
I'm not sure the photo does it justice compared to standing there but:
