1. What a run by Arop. I really didn't think he had that fast of a time in him. I am not surprised Wanyoni did what he did, but surprised that Sedjati wasn't 2nd.
2. One of the best stories of the Olympics has to be Tola not even making the Ethiopian team, getting subbed in for Lemma (who I think would have won as well), and winning gold.
3. What's the chance that Ethiopia refused to put Yomif in the 5,000 because they intend to have the young dudes set a 12:4X pace for 4000 to give Hagos a chance to win in 12:39 or something?
This women’s hurdles race is so wide open. Could be one of the best races of these games.
That was a fantastic race indeed! Even though I'm from the US I woudn't have minded seeing Samba-Mayela winning it for the home crowd. Great finish regardless.
What a finish W 100H!! Just saw replay a few times. How did they do it back in the day, with stopwatches and the naked eye? Bring back ties when within 1 hundreth of a second!

Not any hate on our wonderful commentators but man I thought it was very obvious Masai Russell won that 100m hurdles and he was calling it for Camacho-Quinn lol

Agreed. My question is: who’s that guy who always gets to give out the USA flag to our medalists? I would like that job someday.
