Lo, what's delusional is the suggestion that either of those might happen.

Does it matter moron? The point he was making is that no matter what Bosse does, racist El Kenio will always be prejudiced against him.

Are you autistic?

I am not autistic.

El K may be prejudiced against Bosse. That's not unusual in any sport, to have some competitors we like and some we don't.

As for "no matter what Bosse does" ... wanna know what he WON'T do? He won't run 1.41 and he won't win 2 more WCs (indoors notwithstanding).

It's possible to not like the guy and still admit he could make it through a semifinal of a Kenyan championships.

Anyone have any links to CG races? Search comes up with zilch. It's like it isn't even happening.

You'd think on YT there would at least be the odd spectator uploading his smartphone recording.

Wow, Kenya have moved above Bangladesh in the medals table to 23rd. Still behind Bermuda (pop 60,000) and Grendada (pop 100,000) though.

Imagine if Bermuda and Grenada were at altitude?

ESPN has the rights to it in the US and can't be bothered to put up replays. At least if NBC had the rights to it they would put a few crappy 2-minute highlight videos. Your best bet is using a British or Australian VPN and maybe they're on the BBC website or something.

If you take the anglo-saxon countries current medal tally, it reads :

114 Golds, 125 Silvers, 114 Bronzes

Kenya has :

0 Golds, 3 Silvers, and 3 Bronzes - all at distance running or walking, obviously.

Imagine if every one of the 400+ medallists for the Saxon nations stuck to the sport of running from childhood, as is effectively the case for all Kenyan sportsmen and women?

Kenya would have 0 Golds, 0 Silvers, and 0 Bronzes.

Actually, if you have Cable you can get them here

Wow, Aisha Praught is having an incredible year. Gold for USA! I knew we could win some medals at this thing.

She was singing the Jamaican national anthem with pride.

Currently bowling. Athletics to begin shortly.

Heptathlon under way with the 100mH. Katherine Johnson-Thompson the favourite.

JT 4th in ~ 13.5. Young Aussie Mucci ran out of her skin to win in ~13:1, 0.3 s PB.

Cellphine Chespol was doping when she ran those incredible times. Now she can't even beat a Jamaican. How the heck is she gonna beat Hiwot Ayalew and the rest.

Womens 100mH heats Jamaican Danielle Williams fastest Q with 12.69

It's probably a Bob Marley song that we all know, anyways.

Well, Praught is not really your typical Jamaican. She's at least half white (dad I think is mixed race, so maybe more than 50% white).

Womens 800m heats coming up

Why aren't the American former colonies invited to compete in the Commonwealth Games?
