A rainy cold Olympics.

That would be an entertaining 100ms. Really see how tough and unwhiny the athletes are.

shame about weather conditions expected for this weekend. probably going to be too cold and wet for anything fast in the sprints.

the cooler conditions will be good for the 3000, maybe 1500, and longer, but a downer for anything 800 and shorter (including jumps, hurdles, etc.).

It won't be about times - at all. Only about competing, winning and making the podium.

hope everyone stays healthy. sprinting full speed in cool conditions is not fun.

It doesn't look too bad to me....

A high of 22 Celsius today, a high of 20 Celsius tomorrow, and a high of 21 Celsius on Sunday...with a possibility of light rain. Sounds like a normal London summer to me.

Precisely. Not too bad at all. We've seen super fast sprint times in much lower temperatures in the past. FF's 9.87 in Helsinki 1996 comes to mind (it was just 0.02 off the WR at the time).
