Has anyone other than Kellie that the BBC has done obsessive VTs about won a gold

 

[LaBlonde]

omg the commentators don’t know what to say

 

[zetta buttons]

This Olympics is bringing it!

 

[WeepingCassandra]

Perhaps if Ingebritsen hadn't concentrated so hard on pushing Kerr off to the side, Hocker wouldn't have had room to sneak up the inside! Fair play to him. Cracking running,

(I do think that photo finish might need reviewing, Nuguse looks like he's just ahead of Kerr...)

 

[Mrs Fluff]

For anyone’s attention but especially our Irish tattlers, reminder that Kellie Harrington is in the FINAL of women’s 60kg boxing at 22:06 tonight! let’s GOOOO

I think I'll be asleep but this tickled me

Mr Begotten is in full agreement.

 

[Delia Smith]

I know he came for Gold but I now think Kerr is feeling quite smug that Ingebritsen didn't medal

 

[redstraw16]

The irony of them being so focused on each other to not notice the american coming up behind them before it was too late, beautiful stuff.

I’ll always root for Team GB but fair play to the fella.

 

[veronica71]

Mr Begotten is in full agreement.

Shhhhhhh! (I agree)

 

[Lilu22]

I always want Team GB to win but fair play to the American! And they said he struggles to run 3:30 and he did it in 3:27 and got an Olympic record

 

[OOps2022]

omg the commentators don’t know what to say

My country has less medals so far than French swimming male team alone and most people in athletics are failing miserably (I mean, I totally expected this, again, the effects of lack of reasonable athletics development programme on national level for as long as I remember) so my commentators in athletics do not even bother and are mostly focused on and cheering for athletes from other countries

 

[LaBlonde]

gabby logan saying “he looks very happy” as they cut to him literally looking like

 

[bubbadabut]

Hock Twah! (Sorry!)

Ahhh, it's kind of nice to see two arrogant mats get done.

this is honestly me i have my favourites regardless of what country they’re from, and don’t support gb by default, which my friends and fam find strange for some reason!

 

[Spidey2020]

Glad I’m not the only one slightly pleased that neither won

 

[WeepingCassandra]

Mr Begotten is in full agreement.

After a few looks at the photo finish, I changed my mind. It goes off chest, and Kerr's chest is just in front of Nuguse, Nuguse is leaning from the neck so his head is slightly further forward but Kerr still gets the silver!

 

[Stillwater]

I will always root for athletes from the Caribbean islands.

Well he’s not alone in that!

Well you’ve persuaded me but Mr B is having none of it.

 

[Former_Antelopee]

Why'd I think the interviewer asked him 'did you always plan to waste the 1500m like that?' not race

 

[Rosie glow]

Obviously I'm team gb but I'm almost glad Kerr got beaten he was way to confident he was winning gold
