Well done Eliza, that was great to watch.<br>
Great to see someone enjoying themselves so much. -
<p>This was meant to be her trial run for the 2020 Olympics. Helluva effort.</p>
-
<p>she looks so relaxed, smiling rather than the intense scowl most have</p>
-
<p>Am I allowed to mention she's also a bit hot?</p>
-
So hot! And a bronze! What a fucking champ! Best olympics ever
-
<p>The Greek can't clear 4.90. Neither can the Yank. 4.85m on first or 2nd attempt and we would have had gold.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>5cm never seemed so big a distance!</p> -
<p>that Greek chick looked like she coulda cleared 5m on one of her jumps too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That is an outstanding rise for Eliza, 19, super talented, hot....man we have some amazing women athletes in NZ at the moment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some of the dudes are good too, but not as easy on the eye! </p> -
<p>Dam Bolt!! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>That last 40m he owned everyone</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jamaica - <strong>Japan</strong> - USA</p> -
Damn Bolt is from another planet. Utterly absurd.

<p>She's saved energy by clearing first each time. But that Greek and the American look to me like they can go higher.</p>

<p>Yeah - I was thinking that too. The Aussie was getting good height above the bar on some of her earlier jumps even though she'd never done 4.85 - I was thinking she could fluke it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some good luck there with the big favorites crashing out - to offset a few bits of bad luck here and there. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great result - well done!</p> -
What happened in the relay? Did bolt have work to do?
-
<p>they were all pretty even with 100 to go, but at about 40m he put on the afterburners and at 60m he was well clear.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The womens 5000m, the last 400m was about 65seconds, they are rapid! </p> -

Yeah the Jamaicans were challenged, neck and neck with Japan and USA at the last change. Everyone else was close, too.<br><br>
Bolt put 5+ metres on them at the finish -
<p>US been DQ form 4x100 elevating Canada to Bronze</p>
-
<p>Testing...</p>

Oh shit. Why was that?<br><br><br>
Just watched modern pentathlon with Chloe Esposito. Fucking hell she started in 7th, with a 45 second handicap. And won by nearly as much! Missed one shot in the required 20. -
