Ok Gatlin did NOT look good in the first semi. Gatlin isn't going to win the final. No chance.

The BBC announcers are saying the US team management was downplaying Gatlin's chances before the race, saying he's changed too much this year and isn't confident.
Yeah, Gatlin was bad. He looked to be going about 98% flat out to me and still only mustered a 10.09 into a slight headwind. I'll be surprised if he even medals now.
Bolt and Coleman look to be the top two to me. Bronze may be wide open.

Here is the feed to the actual legal streem but you need a UK Ipaddress.

sorry that's wrong, you can click on I'll register later. Just the IP address is what you need.
can you tell us how to get the live feed please
Blake 10.04 easing up very slightly. He looks much stronger than yesterday. He probably has at least a 9.9x in him. Blake re-emerges as a medal contender.

ZenMate premium is super easy. It's a chrome extension. To get the UK, you may have to pay but there probably is a free trial.
Unotelly is a service I've used in the past.
Another option would be to use Zenmate (free version) and just switch it to a random country that gets the free youtube stream but that's not as good as the BBC.
I'm using Hola VPN and trying the BBC One live player and it still says I need a UK IP address. Tips?
Heat 2- Blake looked great at the start and was in control throughout. It wasn't clear to me if he had more in the final 30 if he wanted it or not as it wasn't obvious that he was shutting it down but he's to to be encouraged by that.

In heat 3, we get to see Bolt vs. Coleman so this may be a preview of the final.
Yeah I got the VPN subscription up again and got it working! Thanks for your help.
thanks!
What a start by Coleman!
What a close by Bolt!

Experience, bro. Gatlin always shows up. Always. He will medal. Make no doubt about it.
He keeps it in the tank.
Anybody want to guess who wins this first 1500m semi of madness?
Bolt really needs to nail his start in the final. It's always been a problem for him, but it lost him that semi ( albeit he eased up), and he doesn't have the same speed he used to. He still has the fastest top speed by far, but that start may be what cost him.
Try restarting browser and clear cookies. Also restart VPN.
Coleman looked good. Bolt just did what he had to do to pull even with Coleman. If Coleman can close a little better, though, he has a shot... 9.8x into a headwind could get him there based on what we saw there...
