2010 European Championships

[nash99]

Its interesting looking at all the Euro records still held by the East German women from the 70s and 80s. I think everyone would say it had to do with PEDs. However, when a country 1/20 the size of Germany produces so many elite sprinters and breaks world records by .5 seconds the media will just say...Boy, those Jamaicans are good...I mean they have 40 yr old women running in the 100m WC/Olympic finals and no one bats an eye

Tonight is going to be exciting. We have many good events to look foward to. The Mens Pole Vault, the mens 110 high hurdles, and the mens 200 meters to name just a few. Here is the scedule for today.

I'm picking Jonathan Borlee to win gold with Gillick taking the silver. The bronze will be between Rooney and Djhone. Rooney will have it tough with a bad lane draw though. This is going to be an incredible final.

thinks are looking bright today.

the semifinals in the 400-hurdles are about to begin,the high jump is ongoing, and following the hurdles we have the semis of the deuce and semis of the ladies' 100-meters. i'm looking forward to this afternoon's performances.

i'm wishingespecially good luck to Great Britain's Laura Turner and Germany's Verena Sailer.

 

[Jimmy Chitwood]

David Greene looked very, very comfortable in his semifinal. he has to be the clear favorite at this point.

 

[Jimmy Chitwood]

these men in the decathlon are simply incredible. i mean, wow!

 

[white lightning]

Yes David Greene looked like he was going for a jog in the park. They do some good interviews on Veetle. The only thing that would make it more enjoyable would be if they would interview more of the athletes from different countries instead of only the british athletes. Overall, I'm impressed by the quality. If Pickering can get his form back, now we have a way to watch him live instead of having to find a good feed. I will be watching alot of British Athletics on this channel.

 

[Jimmy Chitwood]

Rhys Williams dominated his semi, making it look very possible that the Brits(or in actuality the Welsh) could go 1-2 in the 400-hurdles.




only one non-White athlete qualified for the final, a muslim "frenchman." it's nice to see so many White athletes performing at such a high level.Edited by: Jimmy Chitwood

 

[Jimmy Chitwood]

next on the track ... the semifinals of the men's 200.

 

[white lightning]

The mens 200 semi finals are on in the next few minutes. Let's see how Christophe looks. I'm glad the rain is finally going away. The conditions are far from ideal but it is improving. Hopefully for the finals tommorow, the sun will return.

 

[Jimmy Chitwood]

"norwegians" apparently don't look anything like how i've alwayspictured them, apparently ...

Thor needs tocome down withhis hammerand smasha whole lot ofidiots, says i.

 

[Jimmy Chitwood]

Lemaitre is up now ...

 

[Jimmy Chitwood]

damn, this kid has some jets!

he was dead last coming out of the bend, and he just sucked everyone up like one of those fancy vacuum cleaners.

 

[backrow]

jesus. if he ever gets his start, technique and a bit more leg power down he will be unstoppable!!! what a race!

 

[backrow]

photo finish, anyone? hahaha

 

[white lightning]

A very casual 20.39 in the semifinals for Pepe. Very nice indeed. Just like in the 100, he had to make up so much ground. We might have to call him the come back kid. Onemore win inthe finals tommorow and he will be a double gold medal winner. I hope he can get some rest tonight. He will still have the relay as well so it's possible he could take home three gold medals. I love watching the russian high jumpers. The Russians have the top 6 ranked high jumpers in the world. Paul Hession made the 200 finals. Great job by the Irish Man.Edited by: white lightning

good post

 

[Jimmy Chitwood]

three White men qualify for the finals in the deuce. up next, the semis for the ladies' 100-meters.

they must be the most over-achieving overachievers ever to over-achieve so consistently. someone needs to let them know that they all are actually incapable of doing what they're doing and they need to go sit in the bleachers, so that the afrophiles will sleep a little better.

 

[white lightning]

Let's go Laura Turner and Verena Sailer. Just so you guys know, Sailer is my lady!

 

[icsept]

photo finish, anyone? hahaha

Sweet photo. How would the dwf explain that?

 

[Jimmy Chitwood]

a disappointing effort by Laura Turner in the first semi. *sighs* the young Ukranian posted a pb and moves on, but what the heck is going on in Norway?!?! good lord.

 

[Jimmy Chitwood]

Sailer flew down the final 50 meters!!! she was FLYING!!!

her bad start but the great recovery speed was very reminiscent of young Lemaitre.

 

[white lightning]

Such a shame the wind was barely over the 2.0 legal amount or it would have been a new personal best for her. I have to admit that she was moving despite the stumble. It was like she got angry when she almost fell and then she was determined to run down the whole field. I have to admit my girl is looking pretty hot even with out makeup! Hehehe.
