400m Sprinting or Shorter / Re: The Misc Sprint Thread
« on: August 23, 2016, 12:57:44 pm »
In the original speed he looks like speed runner upright just speeding past them lol. but in the slow mo when in the upright posture his balls of the feet touch the foor and hardly collapses in terms of his ball strikes the ground and his arch or the heel dont come close to the floor, he is literaly floating down the track.
I would like to see side view.

Mixed Martial Arts / Re: The Conor McGregor Thread
« on: August 23, 2016, 05:11:20 am »Same, I didnt see the entire fight too. But it looks like it from the highlight I watched. he also mentioned in the post presser that during the fight he had kicked diaz's knees alot of times, it took an effect on his shin, he came to the post presser limping lol.QuoteIf he got his revenge, will that bring him back to where he was before he lost to diaz or not.
not sure.. mma is a different animal so, one loss doesn't ruin your "GOAT STATUS" .. not saying he's goat status, but he was trying to get there by moving up several divisions etc.
for him to go up from competing at 145 to 170 is just insane.. so i think that his rematch win should make people forget about his first loss @ 170.
dno though.. i imagine he's going back down to 145 HEH!! unless they make a big money third match.
i heard he gassed out of nowhere? didn't see the entire fight.
he should be careful else he could 'anderson silva' his shin, meaning like anderson broke his shin kicking the knee of his opponents.

« on: August 23, 2016, 05:06:47 am »Not sure if it's been mentioned as haven't really kept up with this thread but just wanna mention how great team GB did placing second overall
GBs ~70 million vs China's 1.3+ billion population... pretty incredible to beat them. I wonder if we can catch the US one day
True, this was the most medals they ever collected in any olympics. Also the sports they competed in was the most compared to china and USA. So GB has a diverse range of athletes for different sports.
So a well deserved congrats to team GB.
I dont think we probably ever will catch the US, we can only hope they mess up somewhere so we can come it to take the prize

It seems that mcgregor allready had his rematch in ufc 202 against diaz and it was a bloody fight to the end.

If he got his revenge, will that bring him back to where he was before he lost to diaz or not.

centrowitz won gold in the 1500m. 3 min is superhuman speed in the 5k lol. I think the last time he ran that in the eugene diamond league he was winning ahead of the kenyans in the steeple chase and after last hurdle a few metres ahead. stumbled and fell and came third, so this would be a good feeling for him.

it was raining and got heavier while I was on the track then I did my gym work, but the others who are training were doing a different workout like sled works or long distance, so don't know if they would have accepted. Will keep a look out even if it is just one race. my shins a little bit sore, not noticeable just if i press it it is a little sore.

QuoteWat 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?
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
lmao lol spelling mistake lol. ye neymar had a lot of pressure to bring home the gold.
especially after 7-1 loss they suffered at the world cup against germany.

@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.

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.

Wat the fuk 
, I cannot reiterate how shocking it was to witness this I really feel for this guy. The final gold medal match in the karioki (dont hate me for the spelling) in taekwondo lutallo muhammad vs cisse, lutallo was in the lead and was going to win the gold medal until 1 second left of the entire match, cisse makes a kick to the head because muhammad went for the attack also instead of defending and gets kicked in the head, which is 3 points and cisse wins the gold. om fukin days. sorry for the profanity but it was insanely close and you could see how distraught lutallo was in his interview. 1 SECOND LEFT. All he had to do was defend and then a kick comes you dont see coming and bang finished.
The relays went as always, US got disqualified as they sometimes usually mess up somewhere. But glad powell got to run and win gold too, GB not that good especially they had lane 1, so they have tighter turns.
also a wave of robberies in boxing has been occurring, it just follows the sport everywhere.
Also Todday, I think you mean lemaitre and gemili, I also think they both deserve a medal.
but mostly taken back by the taekwondo, 1 sec left lol, anything can change. But he made history still but doesnt take the fact away he was 1 sec away from being olympic champion.

Thanks for the mention todday :p, will try and run with someone I find on the track, he may not be training just let him warm up and then run, maybe he will let me run once with him and then he will get back to his business lol, but alot of the times it is empty.
As for the 200m final, I was suprised bolt was the only one who ran sub 20, and noone else, must be what todday was talking about how the other people in the race affects our race in someway. but i feel gutted for gemili, who was that close to winning a medal for gb in the 200m. But congrats to letmaitre.

ye, I dont like those who booed justin gatlin in the 100m and gave him hard time for being cheat even though he paid his due for the second drug test and the first drug fail was not really a proper fail dont remember the details, i think it was something to do with his attention disorder or something, but people still attack his for being 2 time drug cheat.
I remember the video you posted and the people were saying that they didnt like the fact that he was not resentful or apologised or tried working towards a clearer sport, just because he it was never shown on tv or something but I remember reading on the news the schools he has worked with, a letter of apology if i remember correctly.
But I agree and liked what michael johnson said.
