~Dom~ Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Thankies! I asked my dad too, and he goes 'Oh I know why... Blah blur blabla' He ranted on about it, and I was like 'I didn't understand a word of that' Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Dom~ Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Did every one see that sprinter, who broke the world record. He was sooo relaxed. I can't imagine how fast he would be if he actually tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezaz8 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Did every one see that sprinter, who broke the world record. He was sooo relaxed. I can't imagine how fast he would be if he actually tried. Yeah he was amzazing - he turned off about 30m from the end, and started celebrating!! can't wait to see him in the 200m.

Ryan Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 It's to do with money. You get money for breaking the WR, so you want to be able to do it as many times as possible. There was a pole vaulter from Ukraine during the 90's that some of you might remember and he only ever broke his record by 1cm intervals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Karen- Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 ^ I thought the same. I saw him slow down then I looked at the clock and thought....mmmmm I see what you're doing! You can't blame him really. If he ran flat out today I think he would have ran under 9.60 easy. Sergei Bubka was the pole vaulter's name I think.

Ryan Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Scotland finished 1-2 in the cycling today. Not many countries so small will have finished 1-2 in an Olympic event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
