Ok that 200m semi was awesome. One of the best moment of the games between De Grasse and Bolt just smiling at each other as they cross the line.

De Grasse giving it his all to give Bolt a literal run for his money, but both grinning ear to ear as they cross the line in the semi, what a great moment.

Gatlin for some reason takes his pedal off the gas 30m before the line and finishes 3rd in his semi missing out on the 200m final.

Check out the video for "Inside the Pitch" Ep3 Andrew and Laurie->

http://www.abc.net.au/tv/programs/gruen/#

The Gruen show can be known for Wil Anderson's wisecracks, but sometimes its extraordinary in its moments of clarity (ie the pitch about Euthanasia)

Unfortunately, they'll have our guts for garters in the cricket, though. Dreading it.

The 7 commentators really don't do any research at all, do they?

I know for a fact they get bio information from the Host Broadcaster, and they don't even seem to know any more than that, they keep saying that the Aussie shot putter Birkenhead is from Corio because that's probably on their screen, which seems strange as it's a suburb of Geelong, and you'd think you'd just say Geelong if you knew that.

Here's a fun fact: Geelong was meant to be a suburb of Corio. A map maker mixed up the townships in the 1800's and the names stuck.

Being from geelong... i can't stand when people say "Cor-E-O" instead of "Cor-I-O". So many people in Geelong do it. 
...So fustrating...

How the fuck Diniz finished that race I don't know. Deserves a medal just for the effort. Huge effort by Tallent for the silver and also Erickson with the top 10 finish and setting a PB

Well the two aussies in the mens bmx were looking great for the gold & silver, but bombed out in the final.

They won all their respective 3 heats. Undefeated in 3 races each. Place 6 and 8 in the final. Massive choke. Their disappointment would be the biggest but it's so frustrating how many times we've been pipped at the end. So many finals with places 4-6 after leading on qualifying.
