wow taftian 0,01 faster than GBR seems like he will make the semi unreal effort!Comment
-
Taftian has made it. Funny how Japanese guy ran 10.20 and was praised so much for his start. Taftian was not even mentioned. He was the second fastest person to qualify from those who did not finish top 2 in their heat. Well done to him. He has done great. We are for sure not known for athletics.Comment

Unreal by Taftian!!
Damesh garm - he's already accomplished way more than anyone expected.Comment

to be fair he ran 10.04 just weeks ago so this was not out of the blueOriginally posted by Tehranto View Post

Well done Taftian. He now has to really run the race of his life. If he can get close to 10 flat he might have a chance to get into the finals.

[QUOTE=ehsan singapore;2397300]I think it is 3 Semifinals - 24 semifinalists so 8 in each.Originally posted by Ab-Gosht View Post
Must be top two in each and then the 2 best runners up from all 3 heats.Comment

Guys, what happened, is Taftian out or still in? if in, when is his next run?Comment

I think I am the only one who is not suprised, I saw him run at a meet a few months ago and he came in 3rd place with a great pace. He is only 23 too.Originally posted by Tehranto View PostComment

And Turkey too...a former Jamaican runner is now sprinting for them...Originally posted by pres80 View PostLol. I just accidentally watched 2 Iranians compete in Athletics.
Taftian did pretty well in his heat. He came third with 10.17 for 100m. He is in contention to go into semi finals as one of 8 best runners who did not finish top 2 in their heat.
Fingers crossed!
Edit: Also so many Bahranian and Qatari's winning their heats - just for the record they are not Bahraian or Qatari and the commentators are making that very clear!
