the athletics world champs have come to korea.... and korea looks like they will go down in history as the host nation that couldnt medal in any events....
however, that was almost a given since korea was given the event....
but its only day 2 of the event, and the biggest news in athletics has broken out.... usain bolt being DQ'd in the 100m final for false starting....
he knew it, the crowd knew it... and the officials knew it too.... if ur a fan of jamaican athletics... not to worry.. yohan blake, the "next" big thing.... won gold for jamaica.....
blake clocked a 9.92..... which is...... "average" at best for bolt.... there was a lot of media around bolt's poor starts.... and also the fact that he switched off his engines around the 85m mark.... but he still clocked 10 seconds flat.... so this race, there was pressure on him to start well and push thru the 100m to break his own world record.....
i dont know how he would feel now......
but im also sure the new-age issue will be crossing some people's minds.... "match-fixing"....???
i hope not.... match fixing has ruined it for so many sports..... drugs have ruined it for some including athletics.... i hope this race and the DQ was a legit error by bolt....
watch this space~~ ^^
