Same session but with a day pass. The crowd opposite have a better view.

Me thinks I should have paid less for a day pass.

The adverts are getting beyond a joke here. I can't even remember the last race that I watched, it's been that damn long!!

gamingboy

Aye. Just waiting for Dave Weir.

Weir and Peacock. Delightful.

2 outstanding races right there, and 2 fully deserved Gold medals.

Great interview from Pistorious there as well. That will go some way to increasing his popularity again!!

gamingboy

You said everything that I wanted to say.

everyone in the stadium shouting out Peacock's name in unison, amazing

I'm so lucky to be in the stadium right now!!!

That was good enough just watching on TV, you must be stoked!

yeah he's realised it's not the right time to raise issues.  There are issues obviously with blade heights being altered for different events as well as T43 athletes (double amputees) racing T44 (single amputees) something that should be rectified for Rio.  

Will also say that despite what happened in the final seeing OP break the world record in the 200m on Saturday ranks up there with the best sporting moments I've seen live, had good seats too...



£45 a piece was a bargain

I've got tickets for Saturday night. I can't wait. Would love to have seen that tonight as well. I was shouting at the TV. Non sporting members of the family came to see what I was upset about.

I was and am indeed! Still buzzing on the way home, what a night!
