That being said, its still really confusing what some of the runners have planned to begin with. Its like they go, "Well I'm in contention at the moment, lets see what happens on the last lap." They should know who the best finishers are and aim to be ahead of them before the end of the race. edit: Its amazing Rodisha can stay as motivated as he does when it seems like his records are his only competition nowadays. Womens 1500m 20secs slower than WR, that is shocking. | ||

That should be something that the runners less sprinting speed should plan out during training, but I guess things are easier to talk about in theory than to implement. | ||

Good race by the Bahamas, their first ever Mens Athletics gold medal. To be honest the US team was screwed from the start being forced to run with a B team.............. | ||
