People need to realize that this is a good result. Doping need to hit people in the face all the time, otherwise they will all ignore it.

Hmm? What does that mean?

This is a great result. A "former" doper wins the gold, no one can act as if this is a clean sport. Bolt lost his only race against a "former" doper, which shows that he is clean. Just sad that Coleman stole a medal.

Manyonga has been banned before, so this is a shameful result for clean sport. The only good thing is bronze for the other african guy. The first 2 shouldnt have won a medal.

Congrats for womens 1500 m, two girls from Morocco in the final!

Masso being robbed is even more disgusting than what happened to Harting, american athletes know absolutely no shame.

Thiam has a very deep voice, too sad.

Menlov has a very weird looking head. Something to think about ...

What about Ana?

You are absolutely right, most people dont want to see the truth, like small children who think that covering their eyes witht heir hands makes things go away. I think France is a great role model, for example probably no one in France assumes that Bardet is clean.

Its heartbreaking to see Harting being robbed again. I have no hope for the american person to lose its medal, but hopefully the other 2 will.

Sad that european hero Yasemin Can wont medal, she was the great european hope.

I think we have to face reality: An event where 3 fat guys, who probably couldnt run 100 m without a heart attack, win the medals cant be called a sport.

10000 m needs to be cut asap, completely stupid event, not quite as shitty as race walking, but still mind-blowingly shitty.

Mens discus throw reminds me a lot of womens 1500 m at 2012 olympics and we all know what happened to some of the medallists afterwards, hopefully the same will happen with the medallists this time.

No, no european will medal and also no american. I think the doper will win gold.

I am obviously talking about Christoph Harting who should easily dominate the next 5-10 years. I also dont like seeing fat people win medals in sports, so i hope that Gudzius and especially Stahl will disappear soon. Athletes like Gudzius, Stahl and Finley have to be stopped by IAAF, their cheating is getting too obvious.

Horrible performance by Klosterhalfen, just horrible. When will she and her coach learn how to peak at the right time? It was the same last year. She will probably run some crazy times later this year, but if she cant perform at big competitions, she will never be more than a sidenote in the history of running.

I cant believe it Hanna Klein made the final beating Dibaba! The result in mens discus throw on the other hand is just disgusting ... 3 guys who were completely irrelevant until this year suddenly destroy their PBs, it cant get more obvious than that. Hopefully Harting will come back next year to show them their place. Also very disappointed by Abdul, he was destined to make the final but completely choked. Very slow times overall, would be amazing if Prescott would medal, really love his running style.

I hope that Masso will win a medal, would be cool to have a world class cuban long jumper again. Sadly i dont see anyone beating the doper, so congrats to South Africa in advance. A doper and a man running against women ... way to go.

Ironic? How is it surprising? I dont remember him ever running close to his best at an international competition, not even sure if he ever made it out of the heats ...

My prediction before the start of this event was that Sani Brown would make the final in the 100 and 200 and i think it looks more and more likely to become true. A japanese guy winning medals in the sprint, we are on the verge of witnessing something historical. Hard to see anyone else than Hassan, Dibaba, Kipyegon and Semenya winning the medals in "womens" 1500 m.

I was very skeptical about the schedule, but ... watching prelims and qualification with such a crowd gives me chills, a lot of athletes must feel the same, amazing job London!

Interesting picks by Athletics Weekly: Womens 400 m: Gardiner to medal (instead of Makwala) Womens 100 m: Dont see Ahye beating Ta Lou Womens 800 m: Wilson to beat Wambui Womens 100 m hurdles: Only 1 medal for the US Womens long jump: Spanovic to beat both Americans ... yeah ... Womens shot put: Marton to take the gold ... ? Overall their predictions are pretty good in my opinion.

Yeah ... thanks for reminding me, it was really a painfully long time without a medal, but Germany always is very weak the first few days. About Karsch: It really was a great comeback and it reminded me how much i cheered for her being selected for the german team, despite not winning a quota place. Some person (i wont give his name ...) even said "If they were something special they would qualify " about Karsch and Engleder, because they werent qualified at that time and i asked for the german federation to switch quotas for them ... http://totallympics.com/index.php?/topic/25-shooting-qualification-for-summer-olympic-games-2016/&page=3 End of the story: Karsch won silver at the olympics and Engleder won gold ... so i guess they are something special after all.
