2009 World Athletics Championships - Berlin

hahaha man, Bolt 😂 😂 just snatched a $100,000 chunk out of the budget and handed it straight to Powell 🤣

Forum members, does anyone here actually know their 100m dash times?

Are we all just waiting on Bolt to take over the 400?🙏

I was just reading that.
I doubt he could do anything against Merritt or Wariner in the 400 meters.

Honestly, why not? Bolt is gonna absolutely wreck the competition in the 200m like it's nothing!

I see you guys caught Harklitsev snagging 7th, but nobody seems to be mentioning who actually took home the gold in that event 😂🤣🤣

Anyway, thanks for the congrats 🙂

That was a total mess—super shaky race with some seriously pathetic distances. Just look at Cosmos; his last attempt, which he shouldn't have even bothered with, ended up being the longest one. Even Pars, the massive favorite, choked at the finish line and missed out on a medal entirely, landing in 4th.

😲😲😲😲😲😲
Isinbayeva walked away empty-handed!!!
Seriously, the biggest upset of the century!!

Whatever 🙏 🙏

The biggest shock in sports history!!

Okay, maybe calling it the "shock of the millennium" is a bit much—let's dial it back just a notch—but wow... I was honestly pretty confused by her missing out, especially since she hasn't really hit any massive milestones this year anyway.

Haha, right there! Honestly, I’m kind of loving this little setback, even though we all know she's basically the Bolt of this sport. She just needs a reality check... maybe if things go this way, she'll actually start clearing 4.90 at the next meets if she wants to keep her status 😁

Man, I swear, what was that director even thinking? Like, seriously, they didn't even get close to covering the actual costs for the women involved. It’s just totally off.
EDIT: I really should have mentioned 😁
earlier.

We forgive everything regarding Isinbayeva.😍

Man, I feel for Isinbayeva 😢 such a bummer. Just one of those off days, I guess.

When Blanka jumps 🤷

Isinbayeva 😲

Qualifiers are happening tomorrow morning

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, come run your way into my bed🙂

I’m honestly expecting a disqualification for Kerron Stewart; she was totally cutting into Fraser's lane here.
At last year's Olympics, Churandy Martina lost his medal just because he stepped over the line, so seeing this girl practically trampling all over Fraser's lane is pretty much the same thing.

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce😍..way to go, girl🙏

Yeah, she definitely drifted... maybe they won't DQ her since she didn't actually trip anyone up.

Honestly, I don't feel bad for Yelena Isinbayeva at all. She needs to come back down to earth.

Too bad about Topik in the triple jump, she was right on the edge of a bronze.

Too bad about Topik in the triple jump, though. She was right on the edge of a bronze.

Even Martin wasn't bothering anyone.
In my opinion, it’s gotta be a disqualification.

As far as I know, that's always how it worked, even if someone just barely stepped over the line.☕
