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 stupid was the guy interviewing Tyson Gay after the relay the other night??

"Tyson, did you guys practice handing off the baton before coming here?"

WTF did he think Tyson would say? "Ummm....no, it's only the Olympics. We got together as a team and felt out best shot was to just wing it."

sadly, thats probably what happen. they didn't practice together at all until right before the race. because they rotate runners in and out the continuity is never good.

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