They whistling at him like its a international soccer game.

 

[Hades]

Damn, he bet everything.

 

[Mr210]

What? That is how the bytch looks.

Can we move on and talk about Hernandez coach as well as the gymnast from Netherlands

 

[PortCityProphet]

That was dope. Pole vaulting is piff

 

[DynamoEAR]

Jumping out the stadium damn near at midnight. Track under the lights.

If he would have dived for the gold medal and got it then that means that he was close enough to win it. It is not like he dived a 100 meters. Gatlin would be a hero in America tonight if he would have dived and won that medal over Bolt. They would be talking about how hungry and tough Americans are.

I disagree. I think youre underestimating Bolts popularity in the US. People already look at Gats on some because he got popped. If he dove they would call him a cheater and pathetic because he couldnt stay on his feet and beat Bolt "fairly".

 

[MikelArteta]

that home field advantage



sad the stadium is empty as hell

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

prob wont make it in 2020 there will be like 3 phenom 16 year olds m gabby shouldnt even had been on this team but marta karolyi felt for her,

but Aly is 22 and still pretty much the second best in the world by far. Mustafina is 21 and probably the 3rd best

 

[JerseyBoy23]

Watch Gatlin dive in the 200 now.

 

[Timeis$]

breh she only made it cuz of marta, any other coach she wouldnt have

what makes you think Marta is putting people on the Olympic team for sympathy. Out of the 5 picked how can you say Gabby made it out of sympathy when she's clearly a better gymnast than 2 of the other girls on her own team and all around 2012 champion and had the 3rd best All around score only after Biles and Rasiman ...stick to talking track breh

LOL. Some Americans think that Bolt is arrogant, which is why Bob Costas pointed that out in his interview.
