Athletics World Championships thread

[ICB]

Starts today.....

My favourie sport along with boxing, anybody else gonna follow this?

I used to love watching running, and i used to do it in highschool aswell. But for some reason it just doesn't interest me as much anymore, i don't mind watching it here and there, but at the last Olympics i had no idea what running event was on at what time.

I constantly missed all the major events, and had to watch them on youtube. I don't know what it is but it just doesn't interest me as much anymore, maybe because im a bit older now and now realize/suspect. Most of the runners are on steroids or whatever.

I read a report last year that said up to 70 percent, or whatever the percentage was. That there on steroids and its the new one they can't detect or something.

And i know there are obviously god given talented athletes, who don't cheat but its hard not to be suspect.

Anyway sorry for my ranting LOL, just thought i'd share that. I'll see if i have time to watch it later.

Jessica Ennis is well fit.

I am not an athletics fan but Canada won against russia today in the U18 team and I am damn happy because I know team Canada goalkeeper very well and knowing how he struggled to get up there, I am damn proud of him.

Thus said, some of the pictures up here are definitely tasty

My computer is over run with little Athletics stuff as my misses is the southern peninsula organizer and shes a level two coach in javelin and also trains kids in all types of other events as well as pulling together joint events from all over the state.

So I think we will be watching some of it for sure.





We get to hear this a lot at our meetings..

"Do not cross the track while an event is in progress please"

Bolt looks like the man to beat, think Tyson and Powell will come 2nd and 3rd.

That's probably the most amazing sporting thing I have ever seen in my life just beyond belief!!!

To put it into perspective how good he is, he ran 9.89 in the semi-final and jogged from 40 metres onwards. Linford Christie was World and Olympic champion and his best ever time in his whole career was 9.87

Caster Semenya, the woman 800m runner being gender tested, is, quite appropriately, an anagram of 'Yes, a secret man'.
