The Official 2012 London Olympics Thread

[Gilver]

Did the growth of American football hurt US track and field performance? Youth football has exploded the past 20-30 years... It's sucking up a lot of the talent, so players that may have gone into other fields (baseball, boxing, track, etc) are now all on the football field in middle school and high school.

You read stories about some guys doing both track and football in college. What if more of our football players trained for just speed at an early age?

Also this could explain why women's track hasn't fallen off as far as men's

Nah, other countries just decided to take it seriously so are now dominating.

If weir didn't slow up he could he have had the WR?

 

[Gilver]

I always thought they were changing the rule for false starts after the worlds with Bolt.


It really is fukking retarded. Nerves on the biggest day of your athletic career and you get punished like that.

Alistair Brownlee accelerates

Apparently he is unbeatable in a final sprint too, so Gomez' only chance was to get in front of him before the end.
