Yeah for me Ridgewood Relays 4 x 200 but not my fault...the official had me standing to far up in the accleration lane which i knew was wrong and caused me to have to basically take a hand off almost standing still
Women's Heptahlon
Annie Hall doesn't medal. Why? Because after throwing her BEST EVER toss in the javelin, yesterday, she took a "hop" of joy (CLEARLY FOLLOWING THE THROW) which landed her feet on the penalty line and that throw was DQ'd. So she had to win the 800 today by 8-seconds to medal, over 2 other athletes, and just couldn't pull it off as THEY all ran their best 800's ever as well.
Feel awful for her. I get the rule BUT her "hop" had ZERO to do with her throw. That was just some rough bullshit IMHO.

WOMEN'S SHOT PUT

Hopefully not the difference in losing the overall gold medal count.
Down 1 to China now. We had no favorites in the women's 400. But you absolutely can blame the 4x100 men's relay (coaches).
The fact our 4x team can't pass a baton over a number of games now is very embarrassing for USA TF.
Spain wins gold - amazing clearance by the Spanish keeper to catch the French on a counter (think Howard vs Algeria) to score and win by 2.
Great game to watch.

Rai Benjamin is the 2nd best 400h of all time. Just unfortunately running at the same time as the best
Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
Ugh, my junior and senior years in HS we would have won that event at the Passaic County relays except both years the same guy f'd up the baton exchange.
Netherlands just tied China in women's field hockey. Need the Dutch to keep them off the top step
It’s pretty simple: use the same four guys to practice leading into the Olympics, to run in the heats, and to run in the finals. No more switching up it ****s everything up.
What an AMAZING 10K! Chick from Kenya wins after taking the 5K! 1st women to ever accomplish this feat! She's got the marathon to god!
