For those of you who like a bet for a Jamaican 123 you can get it at 7/1

Nah I think it'l be Bolt-Blake-Gay with a new WR.

Nah...i think it will be:

Gold: Yohan Blake
Silver: Usain Bolt
Bronze: Justin Gatlin
Blake runs it in 9.64.
 
Managed to get tickets for the velodrome two hours before the event started. Few pics I got before battery died:

Cheers. Personally I'm backing Bolt. I just think he has the edge to win today, though it may be close.
 
2 Belgians in the mens 400 m final! Hoping for a medal tomorrow.
 
Bolt then Blake.

I'm happy either way because my family's home country will win the 100m sprint :D

I hope Gemili does well though 👍
 
Gemili didnt make it to the final, he finished 3rd in the 3rd semi..but with a respectable time!

100m Time. GT5 soundtrack "time" playing on BBC...
 
Choices, choices.. . .

Bolt or Blake?

And there's always that third choice.

And there we go: sometimes it's hundreths of a second.
 
Bolt!!! WOW!!! New OR!!!!
 
Hes done it again!!!!!!!:drool:
 
Wow. New OR, but not WR...
 
:lol::lol::lol: Colin Jackson was spot on with the prediction.

Well done Bolt!!! 👍


EDIT. time rounded down 9.63 secs.

Feel like breaking out the Ray & Nephews (little celebration tipple).
 
Edit - Nevermind, obviously no one saw it.

Bolt. I heard who came 2nd and 3rd but I can't remember seeing them at all.
 
Amazing! That man is incredible! Shame it was over so quickly. :lol:
 
What happened to Powell?? did he tear something?

Almost got the top 3 right, Gatlin gets it by a hair.

The fastest man that has ever lived wins it with relative ease. What a performance.
