I quite liked the reference to Eric Liddell and Chariots of Fire. It really made the story all the more poignant should Matt have emulated him.

The women’s boxing final should be interesting.

Felt so sorry for him and you could see the disappointment all over his face in the immediate aftermath. Seemed to have it in the bag but just couldn't find anything in the last 30 metres. A brilliant performance though

Cheers for the update , last time my heel flared up , this was something I was offered but declined , luckily a real deep hit for 14 days of physio , 2 sessions a day at the Police rehabilitation centre sorted it out.
Can you keep me updated on how you think it has worked for you at the end of your sessions please.
I did hear that you needed a high pain threshold for it .
Thanks
Guy.

Is is ridiculous. I could not walk that distance in the time it takes them to climb it.

Hockey on the pad - great gold for Holland
And superb gold for Tobogo
Wyles come out full of energy but doesn’t look well
Edit - seems he has covid - didn’t seem an issue when he was jumping around at the start

Maybe he was trying to psych himself up.
What do you expect him to do,walk to the blocks with a lemsip & hot water bottle?

Lyles is a total drama queen. Selfish too. No Brits in the final to spread the lurgy to, so looking good for the relays

I was laid on the sofa eating ice pops feeling sorry for myself when I had it.

Covid Thread - Covid is not to be taken lightly, it is deadly serious and it can wipe you out for weeks.
Olympic Thread - Runner wins bronze medal with Covid, what a drama queen

He would have warmed up thoroughly. Getting up to race pace in bursts. No way could he have raced if he was bad enough to need a wheelchair afterwards. Full of it.

I'd have more time for him if he said "I've got Covid, I gave it my best" rather than making such a show at the end so everyone knows he's a poorly boy. He would have felt rough as after warming up if it was that bad. I doubt it escalated to such extremes after he left the warm-up track. For me he made himself look a drama queen.
