I never could do the high jump or the long jump at school as I had short legs. HA

If Justin Gatlin wins tonight I might punch the TV.

That's the best Bolt has looked for three years.

Bolt is incredible. I'll be delighted if Gatlin doesn't win a medal.

I'm pleased Dwayne Chambers didn't qualify - the drugs cheat - and that's NOT a libel!

My favourite running event is the 400m. Running flat out for a whole circuit of the track. 100m too short. 1500m plus too long/too tactical.
I don't like the throws - especially the shot put.

If Justin Gatlin wins tonight I might punch the TV. He's two-hundredths off his drug-fuelled best time. With a bit of luck he'll fail another drug test. WADA disgust me though. How hard did they fight to FORCE the BOA to pick drug cheats? They are meant to be AGAINST cheating.

Lineker demonstrating his nanoseconds of research again by introducing pommel horse medallist "Max Hastings."

But he's forgiven for hyping the Men's 100m final by correctly describing the fastest qualifying finalist Justin Gaitlin as "two times drug cheat". Let's just hope he fails to medal, and certainly does not become two times Olympic champion to go with his Gold from Athens (2004).

great run from christine, i almost thought she'd sneak it at the end - a couple more metres and she'd have done it!

Is it me, as I can't stand the voice of Colin Jackson commentating.

Only the third time she's ever gone under 50 seconds. The other two times were Osaka in 2007 and Beijing in 2008...

I thought she'd get a bronze so I was pleasantly surprised.
