So Evan is going to finish right out of the medals  

 

Canada mandates a certain amount of 4ths per Olympics.  Dunfee is just doing his part!

If you told Evan he would finish in this position before the olympics started he would've taken that so fast haha, regardless of no medal what a performance from him

I hope that Tallent will finally win an Olympic gold! I think that is frustanting lose against a doped athlete (like Alex Schwazer)

Gatlin didn't make the final, Francis was injured

I know that Gatlin didnt make the final ... but why? It was a very low level final, the brits (Gemili and Hughes), Jobodawana and Dwyer all got worse since last year, Francis was injured and Van Niekerk didnt want to win a second medal (where the hell was South Africa in the 4 x 100 m relay?).

He was going for a medal  

 

I don't believe he would've taken 4th instead of trying his chance for 3rd

I'm sure he was, but I think even he knows this is about as good as it gets for him lol

What a disgusting performance by the french guy, you cant show that on TV!

Dunfee!

He motivated Diniz to walk on!

I was sure that Diniz would win gold, but what the hell was he thinking? I really dont get it ... its like Mo Farah trying to run a world record from the front in an olympic final, completely brainless ...

At this point in the race, yes, of course  

 

Though there's still the hope that Arai has "blown himself up" trying to stay with Toth and might drop back now..who knows..

Yeah, Arai seems to be falling back.  There may be a race for bronze.
