Thread: World x/country

    Re: World x/country

    Can Bekele not count or is there more to it? If I was a betting a man, when he broke away I thought number six world XC title was his for sure. And then he slowed down, ran with Tadesse and then eventually dropped out, to the delight of the kenyan supporters at the race.

    The race was aazing to watch when I found it by pressing the red button. Didn't even know my TV had this funtion. I wondered what I pay £40 a month for. Well worth it now I think.

    Mo Farah ran wahat must be a perfect race. Finishing 11th. Just look at is lap positions by following the links from www.iaaf.org Jason Ward ran agreat race finishing just in front of Phil N.

    Weather looked hot, very hot indeed.

    Kiplogat in the ladies race looked awesome and should run real well at FLM if she recovers well from this race and preparations continue in such in a positive manner.

    Just a shame it wasn't live on BBC1.

    I think that is what a lot of the betting people thought as well. Could we have a situation similar to my fav sport of Cricket here?

    Looked a tad warm. The ladies were dropping like flies and being carried from the finish line
    Biriani for endurance, pathia for speed.

    I watched the World Champs on the telly. Well Done to Mo Farrah. I'd had no idea he was eleventh. As far as Foster and Cram's Cliched commentary was concerned he might as well not have been there.
