ya .. only way to beat farah is to push him hard the whole race, I imagine.. they should have done that in the 10k and a bit more in the 5k.

Chilemo's final kick, yup.




damn Galen Rupp is in the top 3 of the marathon @ 1h:45 in .. mile 21.

nice! looks strong. what is that equiv too, a ~90 lb. strict one arm row? better ROM like you said on the machine .. a big DB would be slamming into your chest with that pronated grip.

@adarq, ye, There have been a lot of robberies in boxing lately, AIBA has removed some of the officials. I just had to watch this fight as shakur stevenson was highly praised by the US team and mayweather even wanted to recruit stevenson into the TMT team and would be the face of TMT, so I had to see how good he was.

ya i think he's still signed by TMT. I wanted to see him too but missed every one of his matches.

I didn't catch ANY olympic weightlifting either.. fail on my part.

Wat an epic football match between brasil and germany, brasil who got eliminated in the last world cup on home soil have won the olympic gold medal in the home turf and sweet revenege and the way it ended, omg. It goes to penalty, germany have a high winning percentage in penalties and then neymar the star of brasil scored the victory penalty and got brasil the gold and the crow errupted.

crow? raptor's crow?  :trollface:

ya i forgot to mention that yesterday.. huge redemption for Brazil. The PK's were excellent, everyone was just crushing them.. then boom, slightly weak final kick and an excellent goalie stop by Brazil. Neymar took a little longer than usually to let everyone soak it in, then game over.

epic

@todday, I wouldn't give martina the medal he wasn't as close as gemili and lemaitre was, maybe give lemaitre and gemili the bronze and give martina the copper medal lol, jk ye they 3 should get bronze medal they really put everything in it.

olympic is coming to a close with the closing ceremony, it has been an awesome olympics, epic performances and then you have the sad moments.

yup it's been pretty fun to watch.




men's marathon going on right now (fun to watch the scenery as they run) and....... USA / SERBIA @ 2:45 PM ET, gold medal basketball match.  :headbang:

As a beginner you cannot go wrong with this for training 100m - 400m plus jumps:

http://www.eastbay.com/product/model:252403/sku:06555100/nike-zoom-rival-md-8-mens/white/black/

nice thanks!! they even advertise them as '1500m shoes' which is a bonus.

going to check my options over the next few days .. adding these to the research list.

fwiw, I like the blue ones with the "neon pink/red" bottoms.. cost looks good too.

The nike Zoom waffle XC shoes I think you've owned in the past are great for everything else.

ya I can't find them anywhere though.. seems like they don't make them anymore? I've been using these saucony XC flats in place of them. Not sure how they compare tbh, i'd have to have a new pair of each.. but, the saucony's TREAD is ridiculous.. these things hold up under lots of intense work on concrete/pavement.

I'd say the Nike Zoom XC spikes would also be good. I'd be interested in trying some of UA's new T&F offerings though.

the 5k final was NUTS.. Farah gets gold as expected. Chelimo gets silver, but then live on TV as they are interviewing him, they tell him he's been DQ'd.. he was like WTF.. then Lagat, who finished 6th, jumps to 3rd because 2 other runners DQ'd.. finally, Chelimo is reinstated as 2nd, and Lagat gets 4th.

crazy chain of events.



biggest shock was Centrowitz winning gold in 1500m.. damn.

Centrowitz!!!! Mixed people kill it!!! Wow.  Won't be a appreciated but its huge!!!

I wonder if Alberto Salazar is going to get even more athletes now.. Farah repeat 10k/5k gold, and Centrowitz 1500m gold.. and Rupp 10k silver 4 years ago. I imagine he had some others too, not sure though.

good boxing match between stevens and lopez, lopez just looked more slick and a better boxer, I had a feeling the cubans would be racking up a lot of the boxing gold medals.

regarding your other post.. i've been "bitten by robberies" so much watching olympic boxing, that maybe that's why i'm not as excited to see it, as I am with other events. I really didn't watch too many fights.. I heard there were plenty of really bad robberies though. Just watching one is enough.. they really need to fix this crap, ESPECIALLY in the olympics because most of these dudes aren't making any money.
