Sounds fast - especially as sprinters arenât near their peak until mid 20s. Is he also fast over 100m or more of a 200/400 guy?
Just watched the âMo Farahâ documentary. Itâs a very moving story, tragic in what it shows about the treatment of children and obviously inspirational in that he rose so high. I hope it cases people to think harder about the topic of migration although itâs likely that most will go back to their simplified view.
Coincidentally Andrew Flintoffâs cricket team now includes a young Afghan refugee who arrived illegally. Letâs see what happens to him. How successful a sportsperson do you have to be in order to be allowed to stay?
Rule by the mob/public interest?

Gutted for the GB team where they dropped from 2nd to 5th because of the disqualification of the menâs and the womenâs 4x100 relay teams dropped 32 points Italy who were 1st all weekend but fielded their best athletes possible while almost everyone else had their U21s
Coverage like this pisses me off.

If she has a reasonable explanation for why it was not her fault she missed any of those 3 tests then lets hear that and make it the basis of your defense not just some hand waving that requires us to accept something that was in your power to have demonstrated and not require us to just take your word for it.

I am very old but I admit to being emotional when she crossed the line after the 800m she has suffered so much for her art and I am devastated that no coach worth his salt hasnât improved her weaker events the past 10years I hope she stays injury free for the olympics next year

Just caught the womenâs 100m by accident. I love Shelly Ann Frazier Pryce, but what a run from Richardson.
