Winning in an Olympic Record on this course?! 

Sapporo had a quite complicated course too, to be honest.

So, after 8 years shoes do a lot of progress

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. 

Literally the first thing the Dutch commentator said after Wesche's last throw: "Yeah, nice job showing that one" in the most sarcastic voice possible  

 

Yeah that was awful.

 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  

Who says you can't find an Abdi when you want one.

While they help on the flat and uphill  Paula Ratcliffe reckons it is more difficult to run downhill in the new running shoes.
