And 2nd and 3rd are only 18. This event has a great near future. 1:41.73 for an 18 year old !!!!!!!!!!! but he'll never have a better rabbit.

Thanks LopenUupunut for the contest. always great fun.

But jeremyLast whats with the goof on my name? or you trying to make fun of the yank? In that case you can when britain earns half the T&F medals the USA earns.

I'm always for giving people a second chance. So, I think the british rule is unfair. But lifetime bans should be in place for the 2nd offense. As one and done rule doesn't leave any exceptions for mistakes or accidents. As there are accidents in doping offenses, as how many of you out there pay att...

How about someone going back to a previous event? It always disappointed me that Carolina Klüft stopped doing Hept's. Wouldn't the London games be even more exciting with her in the Hept? Wonder what she could still do in it? and would that give the event 3 possible contenders for the Gold? Now that...

[quote="trickstat"]If Bekele wins the 10000 in London next year he will become the first runner in history to win 3 gold medals in the same individual event. I think there are 2 reasons this has never been done.[/quote] I think you are mistaken.?.? or are you just talking about running eve...

Yes, one of the best performances of the WC's. Well done Mrs.Pearson!!!

Thanks so much for the words of appreciation. It was a fair bit of work, so hearing that it added to the fun makes it all worthwhile. I enjoyed it too. Yes, thanks for running the contest Usedtoit33. 8) I'm sure many of us hear know how much work it is to do one of these, and they are always apprec...

the answer is Yes. Unfortunately for those of us who stupidly had her on our Fantasy team but at the last minute dropped her for Isinbeyeva. I hate Hindsight!!!

Don't mind me, I'm was just 'ing you for making the generalization. Keep up the good work.

Just wondering how everyone views Ennis Silver in the Hept. Is it a failure on her part? Or still a success? If everyone is happy about Farah's Silver are they similarly happy about Ennis'? As both should be strong contenders for the London games. I've always held the view that if you won a medal, n...

Thanks for all your hardwork. I've run some of these contest in the past, so I know how much time it takes. Great job. 8) On the plus side, most of you picked the winners of the women's 10k, marathon and LJ, but no one picked the other medallists in the event. Sorry, to complain but I had Masai in t...

Still a great achievement for Farah. How many had him at the beginning of the year winning a WC medal? and he is in position to when two.

I guess its the american cooking.

Don't you just hate the athletes that don't compete (or sparingly) all year and then show up at championships looking great? Seems like I pick the wrong ones all the time. Have K. Bekele, don't have Murofushi, Have Hooker, don't have Merritt. Its madden I say. How do they expect us fantasy players t...
