  1. Don't you enjoy train wrecks
  2. here ya go. Of course this was one of the "before" pictures
  3. Still proceeding. Now have signals and front bumper. Rear bumper is with me since it was not needed to trial fit before painting. th me
  4. fixed it for myself I have no idea WHY they ARE on the Tennessee River and where they go next
  5. For the sailboat folks.. Saw these this morning during a bike ride. Replicas of Nina and Pinta. It is amazing how small these ships are. They apparently are on tour but I have no idea how they got on the Tennessee River and where they go next..
  6. Worked with a guy who lost an eye to garage spring. Not something to be messed with
  7. Valid premise. Seems to be different/better today. Maybe it was just a distant microphone for the relay. Wonder if it will show up for the 4x400
  8. Is there some actual rule on how many runners are in the final? Saw this yesterday in womens 10K. 20 plus runners in the final is a huge recipe for multiple collisions and falls
  9. For some reason it seems that the sound of the gun and the actual start are not in sync. Yesterday it absolutely looked like the 4x100 men and women were out of the blocks before you heard the gun. For some reason I think the false start is set up electronically and done visually. It has a preset value for a reaction time and is wired to the gun. If it registers you leaving before the specified reaction time it sounds the alarm
  10. Just wow... Another photo finish
  11. Whats the back story on the 3 ex Cubans that now jump for Spain or Portuagal. Didn't think Cuba allowed athletes to leave.
  12. If I am the Italian coach I would consider a protest. That was a marginal block. I don't think it changes the result but the winner moved way outside lane 1 there
  13. What just happened there. The lead group comes out of the turn and they have a stretcher and stuff picking someone up in lane 3
  14. Were there no prelims for the womens 10K? That is a huge number of runners. Otherwise they just decided that the finals should have 25 or so.
  15. Just tossing this out. Say whatever you want about Lewis but he knew how to win in relays. World record here
  16. To be clear - she stopped short of the line after an huge throw. While staring at it she deiced to do a bunny hop which went over the line.
  17. No kidding. Total brain cramp. Almost like a swimming relay person jumping into the pool after swimming with the race still going on. Situational awareness
  18. I saw someone add that you can say what you want on the stream feed. No FCC looking over shoulder. This opens more possibilities in future
  19. And US men follow them. Crap... That was some really bad handoffs
  20. About 30 years ago a diver (maybe Russian?) was killed after hitting head on platform. That platform is insanely high. Before all sorts of legal restrictions we would go to Point Mallard which was nearby and they had a platform. No way you didn;t go off it after climbing up there in front of your friends. For no apparent reason none of us ruptured a spleen or liver hitting the water. You also quickly learned to grab your crotch.
  21. Everything about relays makes me nervous. Our track record (pun intended) is a hot mess. Just really glad the official in the mixed medley told the runner to get in the handoff zone since they were just walking around everywhere.
  22. Is this the first event with a repechage? I don't remember it before and it's pretty cool. Gives a second chance if you mess up
  23. and based on the mixed 4x400 relay it will be really nice if we don't try to wander out of the exchange zone either
  24. Saw somewhere that NBC said all medals awarded 24 hours later. Not sure why. Guessing they don't do that for the last day
  25. No kidding. What in the world was she thinking? It was like she heard the starter call it off except he didn't. And yeah - the hold times before the gun seen really long.
