 Abdi is done, but there goes  Abdi!

 

Waited for buddy  Abdi for a while, but since he's not coming, he'll do it himself

I thought the coverage of the women's shot put competition was amateur at best.

 

Instead of focusing on Ogunyele I think they conveniently forgot about Wesche's last throw. Then all of a sudden Wesche is throwing and the camera panned to the 20m line with the shot put beyond it. The international commentators got us all believing she had won it. It had obviously bounced then rolled over the 20m line. No one actually saw where the put landed thanks to a comedy of camera errors.
