![]() Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator | I know some of you like your athletics. For those that haven't seen it, Adam Gemili is currently the fastest Brit and the 2nd fastest European over 100m this year. He clocked 10.08 a week or so ago at just 18 ![]() That's fast enough for Usain Bolt to be interviewed about him in the Guardian and if they decide to go for it he has a good shot at making London! That's a f**king stupidly quick time for anyone, let alone an 18 year old kid. | ||

Hopefully Adam can make the transition. He is good kid. | ||

After just reading about the guy, he seems split on whether to play football or do athletics. Last I heard he quit football in January. I think this time will have made that decision a lot easier. | ||

Mighty young Joe Member 675, 2271 posts SQ 272.5, BP 180, DL 275727.5 kgs @ 114.8kgs UnEq | That was awesome. By far the best in gb at the mo. Can't see him not going to the olympics, can't see him having that much trouble at the trials. That was a ridiculous start from the guy on the left. | ||

He was getting all sorts of 'what the f**k are you doing here' looks. He won by about 10m. | ||

The guy who looked to make an amazing start got disqualified after the race. I hope Adam beats them all at the trials. Some of these sprinters still getting lottery funding are a joke. | ||
