Does Farrah know the anthem/

I wont blame him. The Brits'national anthem must be the most parochial ever.

Was he supposed to be given the baton? I saw how he playfully withdrew his hands from the woman who was waiting with outstretched hand at the end of the race, leaving her in a lurch. I pitied the woman; theatrical Bolt played a fast one on her but I later the officials were kinds remonstrating with him. What happened?

Better a parochial anthem and progressive society than the inverse.

The idea of a "progressive society" is highly subjective and relative.

A childhood friend is on the Canadian relay team and it was tough seeing them get DQed after they had finished the race 3rd. The white guy that ran the 3rd leg for Canada was a bum...not only did he step on the line like 8 times but he ran his leg so slow and forced our anchor to take us from 5th to 3rd. Anyways, it was the right call unfortunately...

If Jamaica ran the 4X100m in 36.84 seconds, then each man ran an average of 9.21s. Apparently Asafa Powell's anchor leg in 2008 was 8.7 seconds. And yes, Blake did very well...

I'm suspicious of Mo's win in 5,000m. The time is so slow, even slower than the heats that conspiracy theorists are going to have a field day. Dejen Gebremeskel has a WL time of 12:46.81 and he ran the leading time of 13:15.15 in the heats compared to Mo's 13:26.00.

In the final Mo won with 13:41.66 beating Dejen with 13:41.98. :biggrin:

So what is the conspiracy ?

The Ethiopians and Kenyans were bribed ?
Mo did not win the race but the film footage was doctored ?
The British spiked other athletes with Performance-Unenhancing drugs?

Abeg share the jist, so we can spread the rumour...

Something fishy looks to be going on. I think the Africans may have been bribed.

The 1972 Olympics winning time was 13:26.4 and Mo's time of 2012 would have been good enough for only 10th position. :scared:
