August 15, 201610 yr Malcolm, if daf doesn't win the 200 is she going to revert and dominate the heptathlon? Possibly, but I doubt it. Her best ever score would have only achieved fifth in Rio, only 22 points above what KJT achieved with 2 poor events. And she no longer holds the Dutch record.
August 15, 201610 yr Whilst the investment is obviously crucial, 2012 meant that it could be pulled in with a justification behind it. If we hadn't had the Olympics and been succesful the funding wouldn't have followed, hence, legacy. Fair enough, hand in hand, but the Guardian's sniping isn't something that I would quote The 'legacy' is supposed to be about more than just how well we do at the next Olympics though. Pleasing though that might be.

Fair enough, hand in hand, but the Guardian's sniping isn't something that I would quote Didn't think it sniped at all, which was why I referenced my point with it. The cold hard fact is that funding=medals
August 15, 201610 yr didn't realise that thought she wouldve been streets ahead of the rest better get her arse in gear in the sprints and speaking oif sprints, will asher smith or williams ever be challengers at world level we must have a serious medal chance in the 4 x 1?
August 15, 201610 yr and speaking oif sprints, will asher smith or williams ever be challengers at world level we must have a serious medal chance in the 4 x 1? Fastest this year so far: 41.62 Germany 41.81 GB 42.04 Netherlands Add from last year: 41.07 Jamaica 41.68 USA. DAS is 8th fastest this year. Then again, Hitchon was 19th ranked in the Hammer, but moved up to 4th with today's mark.
August 15, 201610 yr Bolty should enjoy this. http://www.theage.com.au/sport/olympics/rio-2016/olympics-australia/great-britain-keep-rising-as-australia-stagnates-at-rio-olympics-20160815-gqsnbp.html
August 15, 201610 yr Utterly disgraceful Been in Manchester all day, just back in the be greeted by what looks like a soggy split beaver in the photo on the right. Are there not mods.
August 15, 201610 yr Author They should do the velodrome events on Raleigh Choppers and Grifters. Extra points for pulling wheelies

August 15, 201610 yr I think the wimmin's omnium is near the clitoris but I'm not sure. There was a documentary around the time of the London games which showed in forensic detail how a 100m race is run. Very interesting. It's all about who slows down most efficiently. They spend very little of the race at full whack.
August 15, 201610 yr Unreal sprint from Laura Trott, got to have a shout of a medal if I had a clue of the rules in omnium. Reckon her and Our Jason wear their medals when they're in bed?
August 15, 201610 yr Give me a shout should the Italian national anthem ever finish Edited August 15, 201610 yr by boltondiver
August 15, 201610 yr Give me a shout should the Italian national anthem ever finishesBest anthem going I reckon, though miles better when it's being belted out by a big crowd rather than just the instrumental version.
August 15, 201610 yr This omnium pursuit is ace. Her indoors naturally feels for those at the back who are ruled out. I reckon its down to schooling and equalisation of the egg and spoon and sack race.
