That’s nuts. Torrie Lewis won Gold on her Diamond League debut!! Unbelievable achievement.

This is what she posted only a few weeks ago…

That is a massive performance because you are at the elite level when you are invited to participate at the Diamond League.

[Houli_Dooley]

First time earning an Olympic berth since 2000 in the 100 relay for women is worth some praise.

These are the type of performances you want to see by Aussie athletes. You perform well in the Diamond League and this usually transfers to the World’s and the Olympics.

[Houli_Dooley]

What the hell! That’s a ridiculous improvement to your PB in one race
She’s a marvel. Go Jess

Linden Hall also had a great run.

[yaco55]

It’s a staggering time by Hull but we need to remember they have pacemakers at the Diamond league.

[frosty]

Like in all of her previous big races and all of the world’s fastest times. I don’t think that’s an issue in terms of the meaningful-ness of running that time.

[yaco55]

People who dont follow athletics are unaware of the use of pacemakers. People are unaware that some of Diamond league meetings have stronger fields than the Olympics ir Worlsd Championship as only the best are in the field. So you can have a 10,000 metre race with eight Kenyans.

Some good performances at the U20 World Championships

P.S. If Diggers was still on Blitz I feel he’d be a fan of Marley.

Claudia Hollingsworth and Fleur Hooper qualified in womens 800m to semi final

Gout Gout 20.77 in 200m

He could be a future world champion.

[magic_ireland]

I just rang Sportsbet to but some coin on him and your not allowed to put $$$ on him till he is 18.I reckon this kid is a massive chance to win a medal at the next Olympics in LA.

[Houli_Dooli]

He blew the other kids away, but that is fast time for heat and theres a few years to next olympics so will be in prime by then.

[Shahid_Afridi]

Looked like he took the foot off the gas in the last 30
