Wait a minute! Where is Canada on that medal table!? LOL Oh dear we are not doing well are we?! :slinkaway

[allezfred]

PB for Jessica Ennis in the long jump! :cheer2:

[allezfred]

Only 6.45 for long jump means Hideous Fountain is out of the running for gold definitely.

[allezfred]

So it's down to Ennis and Chernova for the gold and it all depends on the javelin. :yikes:

[gingercrush]

Yay we're doing better than Australia ^_^. Wonder it lasts. I can't think of any Australians at the moment. Wait there is a long jumper isn't there?

Ooh and we got through to semi final or final for 1500m Men.

Oh and why are they doing 1500m heats and 800m final today? Be a real pain if you're good at both distances.

And why do Hepthaletes and Decathletes get tortured by having to do the 800m and 1500m respectively. Poor people have already done 9 or 5 events.

Mitchell Webb. And Sally Pearson is the outright fave in 100m hurdles.

Some of the scheduling here has been completely :confused:

Because it's :EVILLE:.

[gingercrush]

Oh yes Sally Pearson forgot entirely about her.

[allezfred]

Jessica Ennis basically needs a PB in the javelin to get even with Chernova. :yikes:

[allezfred]

One throw left for Jessica Ennis to close 130 points between her and Chernova. :(

[allezfred]

:fragile:

brits having trouble with 'J' again, sounds familiar isn't it.

[gingercrush]

You know between swimming worlds and now these athletics worlds. The brits haven't done as well as they could. There is the rowing though. I guess that is a consolation. But the media must be getting ready to pounce.

[Loves_Shizuka]

^It's a tactical move, so there isn't TOO much pressure in LOndon.

Yea, that's it.

;)

Isn't there any Spanish representation at these champs? Or Italian?

[Loves_Shizuka]

What on earth happened to Jess in the javelin?!
