OFFICIAL Olympics Morning Session 8/2

Fast track

Wow, I've never heard of San Marino before but I'm suddenly interested in moving there

Interesting will be the draw of heats for the women’s 100 after these preliminaries. Should see it in half an hour?

Might want to stop by Guam.

I’m up and watching live on the west coast! let’s go Goose!

Hardest core fans only!

live results link? thanks

Up and at em on the East Coast. 5am on the dot with a cuppa joe

This first heat in the 1500 is quite loaded - 6 sub 3:30 men, 5 guys I'd of predicted to be in the final - Kerr, Nuguse, Komen, Hoare, Nordås

I don't think it would be a bad move for Nuguse or someone else to get this one moving at a decent pace

go usa!!!

3:55 Central. Haven't had coffee yet. Might have to go back to bed after the 1500s.

This “field and track” rubbish on channel 9 in Australia is an embarrassment to the sport

Hell yeah. Let’s get it!

Stadium looking packed for a Day 1 morning session, love to see that

LOL at this Solomon Islands lady. 18:01 5000 in Rio, 3:02 marathon in Tokyo, and now 14.31 for the 100 in Paris. She's not even their best sprinter. I'm all for universality places in the 100, but what a political farce.

Thought the world feed was supposed to be on peacock…

Here we go! Time to get the 1500 underway

This announcer has been good domestically, but I’d prefer world feed from a no ads especially. That UK kit is kinda bad eh?
