100 meters

[SniperSB23]

What's gone highly unnoticed and was the most awesome moment of the Olympics to me was David Neville diving for third place in the 400m. For anyone who hasn't ever taken a faceplant on a track while running 100 meter splits of 11 let me assure you it hurts like hell (I was 95% sure I'd lost a nipple). And your chances of actually beating the person by doing it is so slim that is makes it an extra awesome move.

So they are dropping baseball and softball and now I'm going to have to watch this BMX crap? There's a reason I don't watch the X Games, it is close to becoming the same reason I don't watch the Olympics.

i saw that face plant, serious stuff. damn, give that man a medal.
Wariner was not paying attention and I thought for a moment he might get caught.

about the BMX, I was going to say something, you've got to be kidding me. what joke. what will it be next? skateboard? guitar hero? hacky sack?

bmx is for the stoner-x-game crowd. softball is gone because no one (until yesterday) could beat the American girls and baseball is gone because the major leaguers ("dream teams") won't come.

better than the faceplant, was the ASS-Kickin warnier got.

and how Sorry do the US sprinter look? can't even pass the stick. just NO excuse for that. to many individuals and USAT&F NEEDS to seriously take a look at what it's doing.

yeah Wariner was really pouty after his butt was kicked. the interviewer tryed to ask him about the coaching change and he would have none of it, just walked away.

What a contrast in finishes. Neville dives across the line for a bronze. The defending champion Wariner looks like a 10th grader trying to break 56 seconds. He showed nothing at the finish and looked like a fool in the post race interview.

And you would know what 400m splits of 11 seconds feel like? After the first one?
Which year did you participate in the NCAA Div I meets?
How is it runnning professionally in Europe?

No, I know what 11 second splits faceplanting feels like from clipping heels on a handoff in the 4X100 relay.
