I think ESPN should be covering it on TV.

Their lone female track athlete's bio blurb includes this: "Selected by her teacher for athletics competitions because of her height. When she told her teacher she did not want to try athletics, she was told that if she did not, she would be kicked out of school." Cool, cool, cool.
Their lone male track athlete is a javelin thrower.
Two athletics competitors from a country of 200+ million is pretty sad. They really only care about cricket here.

Day 5 & Australia currently has 101 medals (38 Golds) and Australia has a population of <25 million. Literally half of those medals have come from swimming though...
Mikey:
I was hoping Trae Williams could make the 100m final...it wasn't to be.
Mikey:
Browning was soo close to making the 100m final!
South African Henricho Bruintjies ran the exact same time as Browning – 10.26s - but he was given second and the automatic qualification and not Browning when the time was taken to a third decimal place. He lost a place in the final by a thousandth of a second. Trae Williams ran 10.28. Gemili made the final for England but he has now withdrawn due to injury.
Mikey:
Akani Simbine claims the men's 100m gold in 10.03
Henricho Bruintjies with 10.17.
Yohan Blake runs 10.19 for bronze
Not sure what happened to Blake :o
