He had the slowest start as well. Crazy.Bolt's just basically jogged a 100m ffs
Edit: By slow, I mean slowest reaction time
Rio Olympics 2016
- Thread starter LuisNaniencia
- Start date
Edit: By slow, I mean slowest reaction time
Had a rubbish start, started cruising at 30m, looked sideways 4 times and still qualifies with fastest time.
Wonder if he'll break 9.50 seconds this time?
Must be so intimatdating racing against him, I mean what is the point?!
He's not in his prime anymore, I don't think he'll break 9.7 this year.
It's on primetime.I would have thought the men's 100m final would be on at a time to maximise TV viewership.
It's on at bloody 02:25 Monday morning
In America. The biggest tv market. NBC basically owns the Olympics.
The 100m is always run in the evening irrespective of NBC. Last time in London it was ran at around 8pm local time which would have been 3pm back in New York
Ah crap. I'll probably end up watching and be fecked in work on Monday.I would have thought the men's 100m final would be on at a time to maximise TV viewership.

@Jippy: can you not record it and replay early Monday morning?
Denise Lewis saying that Jess Ennis retaining the gold will be a formality then Thiam pulls out a massive long jump to go 5 points ahead.
Hard to say at this stage, but Bolt looks in good shape. Gatlin may have to rue last year's missed opportunity.
Is that UK time?I would have thought the men's 100m final would be on at a time to maximise TV viewership.

What time and with what event does it reach its conclusionDenise Lewis saying that Jess Ennis retaining the gold will be a formality then Thiam pulls out a massive long jump to go 5 points ahead.
That would be the sensible option, but work is slow at the moment tbf.
There's javelin and then the 800m to finish. Anout 2:20am I think. It's on the last page.
That's a 22h30 start in Rio though.
That's not normal.
They certainly couldn't put it on US primetime in London(too large a time difference) . What NBC does is to still show all the major events on tape delay in prime time.
The conclusion to the hepthalon is a must watch, closest competition for ages.
In London the 100m race at the dead of night so my assumption that it was around 8pm was too early, more like 9.30pm. The 100m final always seems to be on the evening.
I am not 100%satisfied with the NBC coverage. My sports are so chopped up. Yes, they show various sports in their entirety like footy, basketball, water polo, and anything with women in bikinis. My dressage final showed 4 riders. Four. Archery and shooting have been so chopped up you had trouble following the contenders. They are now showing women's eights in rowing when it was supposed to be shooting and soccer (delayed tape) which was supposed to be earlier. Buggers.
Thanks mate
Mens trampolining is about to start on the red button, this is nuts.
Watching recorded women's Keirin cycling...weird to see the riders held behind the electric bicycle.
Bolt looked like he was jogging in his race today.
That Russian gymnast probably shouldn't go back to Russia.
The sprint is quite fun to watch.
Dong Dong. What a name.
Not sure how shooting would make a viable TV sport. It's not as if you can see the bullet travel. Archery might just about work.
The feck is this cycling behind a motorbike about?
It's like F1 starting behind the safety car.

You guys get shafted so bad on the coverage.
Honestly get a VPN and watch the BBC feeds. They have live coverage of every event on their website ( apart from the individual track and field ones that get shoved on to a mixed feed) whether GB athletes are in them or not.
How did that Colombian woman manage to fall over?
@NinjaFletch : Now you tell me! I am going to look into that.
I wish I understood this crazy Cycling Sprint thing. I enjoy watching it, but don't really get it.
Just drive round the track as fast as poss in it.
What I really don't get though is the tactics in road racing like the Tour De France.
It's mental isn't it. But yea, fun.
Nadal 
Scientifically I'm sure that Phelps is a testosterone overload, his facial structure is indicative of that.
The US payroll this, but seems late even for their prime time audienceI would have thought the men's 100m final would be on at a time to maximise TV viewership.

The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) has suspended Russia's sole track and field competitor Darya Klishina from Rio 2016.
What does this even mean ?
J.M. Del Potro looks a lot like DDG.
Nadal/Del Potro is a hell of a match. Tie break in the third set.
Nadal was one half of the greatest tennis match and one of the greatest sporting events in general I've ever watched. This is also very very good stuff.
