They just showed a replay of Asafa Powell's 100m run in the 6th heat, and he takes 4/5 steps outside of his lane. Shouldn't that mean disqualification?
Big night tonight in for team GB! Dai Greene in the 400m hurdles, Mo Farah in the 10,000m and mens football v South Korea..another night of channel-hopping ahead then!!
Quite gutted cause my fellow countryman Mark Barriga lost at 48kg boxing.. If only we had a Manny Pacquiao for amateur boxing too
Watching the women's tennis finals now! I'm expecting a thrashing by Serena. She's already broken Sharapova as I took a quick glance at the tv. She leads 2-0
UPDATE: Serena won the first set 6-0. Nothing Sharapova can do to counter against Williams' form.
She is the 3rd women to be bageled (6-0) by Serena Williams in this Olympics. She is clearly in a class above all the women.

If they were running a bend, and he went over the line to the inside, yes. However, with a straight line event like the 100m, as as long as he didn't impede the runner in the lane he strayed into, then he should be OK.
HOL y crap! . Serena Williams putting a Beat Down on Sharapova.
@Lankay. Serena Williams actually hates Maria Sharapova so badly....Ever since that Wimbledon final in 2004 when Sharapova beat Williams. Williams has just seeked revenge on another level each time they play.
Azarenka and Wozniacki atleast got on the scoreboard against Serena showing you how good they are. Sharapova has no chance...Demoralizing loss...
Sharapova wrote her death wish to Serena back in 2004...LOL. no one take s 2004 Wimbledon title from Serena Williams!!
Not long know.
I chuckle a little everyday the rankings for WTA come out and Serena Williams isn't listed as No. 1 in the world.. She is in my opinion the Greatest Womens tennis player in tennis history.

Just found the 'Omnium' in cycling...have to say it involves a very complex system but the fact it is 120 laps of the Velodrome is beast. ...And yet that only covers 30km. Not as epic a length as the number of laps or the name, but epic nevertheless.
With the flexibility of those steel legs, he may be right, since they will flex and take longer to gain momentum. But when he does gain momentum, he's throwing less leg weight around then able bodied runners.

Well that was ludicrous. Gold medal women's team pursuit final and Team GB obliterated the US. They were in the same straight for most of the last kilometre and beat their own world record having earlier beaten their own world record...
Omnium 30k pursuit: A one-lap sprint occurs every 10 laps. Riders are given points according to how they "finish" that pursuit. Riders are also given points if they lap other riders. Riders are ranked according to the most points after 120 laps.
The 30k pursuit is one of six individual events in the Omnium. Winning an individual event scores 1 point, coming second scores 2 points and so on. The Omnium winner has the lowest number of points after the six events.

I've only ever seen Federer IRL once and that was when he still wore a ponytail
