Re: Paul Dickenson

How the hell did P.D get the Beeb's Diamond Jubilee Thames Pageant thingamajig ? Was Otis Deley unavailable ! While his commentary was as spectacularly bland and uninformative as ever, I do find his inabiility as an ex-international to impart knowledge extroardinary Watching paint dry. The Thames P...

Re: Heptathlon 2012

I assume Toni is responding to this statement but how did it get in the public domain? As I read it some unnamed UKA person made a "too much weight" remark in private. Toni himself brought it into the public domain with predictable consequences. The use of the word 'fat' seems to be purel...

Good news about Yamile, I think she is as good a bet

Re: Gotzis Hypo Meeting & Teneriffe C/E

Now that Kelly has 'retired' where does that put KJT regarding Olympic selection with her 'B' standard. Will she have to do an 'A' to qualify ? Pity she did the one in Italy in lousy conditions a couple of weeks ago instead of perhaps being out in Gotzis. Also a thanks to all you guys out there for ...

Re: Gotzis Hypo Meeting & Teneriffe C/E

Going back to to the high jump. I think the reason Jess limits HJ competitions is the fear of reinjuring her take off foot. If 1.95 is now beyond her so be it. In a Hep. 1.88 should be the target anything else a bonus. Don't forget she has changed to a left foot plant on the LJ board in order to pro...

No boyson the buy one and get ten free refers

Re: Gotzis Hypo Meeting & Teneriffe C/E

That's a gift for Chernova. Maybe Jess has been working so hard on her javelin and long jump that she hasn't had enough time for the high jump. Or has adding the muscle to throw 14.50 + in the shot meant that it's harder to clear 1.90? Hit the nail on the head I have been thinking that for a couple...

Is Jess Ennis in the wrong event? It occurs to me that had she not been a multi-eventer she would have been the worlds best 400 hurdler. :twisted: Quite agree but........... Getting the stride patten right and learning to lead with her left leg would be the problems. Even experienced 400m Hurdlers ...

I didn't.

Be grateful that athletics is on BBC. Stop moaning about
