Official 2012 Track & Field Thread: Brussels Diamond League (Merritt Breaks 110m Hurdles WR!)

[eracism]

Ouch. Dude pulled a hammy qualifying.

 

[eracism]

Damn, LaShawn.

Going to bed on that note.
 

 

[DYNAMICS]

LeShawn Meritt pulled up in his heat. The defending Olympic Champion at 400m is out. Now the race is WIDE open, so sad.

I wanted him to defend, and now the USA 4x400 is looking REAL weak right now.

 

[DYNAMICS]

Men's 100 just started. Tyson Gay won his heat with Richard Thompson ('08 Olympic 100m silver medalist) in second.

 

[gunna get it]

changing my pick to Yohan Blake.

 

[M. Fresh]

Sucks for lashawn

 

[gunna get it]

semis for mens 400H is on deck now

 

[IATT]

@IATT: You know how many event the Bahamian track team is competing in?

no clue.. but i know we have a strong chance in the men's 4 x 400.. especially with merritt out

but you got the obvious ones: women's 100, 200, 400 and 4 x100

men's 100, 200, 400 and 4 x 400

Both Dai Greene and Clement made the final.

Final is gonna be great with Jeter, Campbell-Brown and Fraser-Pryce (assuming she goes through).

^ The first 2 got through so far.

 

[thatpersianguy]

Bit of an upset as Kerron Stewart fails to qualify for the 100m Final.
