Laughing hard at the mens 10,000 competitors. Their biceps and triceps are as small as their forearms lol! No wonder they are so good at running! They better be .

I am watching the race, respect the athletes, but man are they so skinny. My arms were bigger at 8 years old.

No disrespect intended, world class athletes, just an observation!

BTE's third throw wasn't as good as her 1st one.

Farah. What a machine. That race blew my mind. After running that long their last lap was 55 seconds, they averaged around 62 I think. That pace! Just crazy.

I dont think so. Ennis-hill is probably the best 800m runner. She could get silver if the belgian girl tanks. Must beat her by maybe 15 seconds in a 2 minute 15 second race
