Bound to be more to come out of that interview from both sides. Very much like KP isn't it, both sides are in the right in their own mind and the other can go and get ****ed.

What time is Aussie Sally running?

6am?

PhoenixFire · 07-08-2012, 02:04 PM

v happy for Sally, seems like a nice girl.

howardj · 07-08-2012, 02:04 PM

What a win!

Bahnz · 07-08-2012, 02:09 PM

Great effort from Pearson. Now, c'mon Nick!\

EDIT: Gutted but not a huge surprise, he was always going to be a long shot to medal.

Meridio · 07-08-2012, 02:33 PM

Disappointing. Looked like he was in a good position with about a lap and a half to go, but couldn't keep up when the pace increased. Algerian guy was a tank, was flying for the last half lap.

Well done Pearson, class act at that race. Deserved the gold.

The big story is Lolo Jones not getting a medal.

Proof that being a hot virgin is to your own detriment.

vic_orthdox · 07-08-2012, 07:51 PM

What about Harper's excitement at getting a silver medal, even though she won the gold last time? Admirable.

Be interesting to hear what the coverage of Harper and Wells is like in comparison to Jones' fourth.

Pretty critical article. Would imagine there will be even more criticism.

I wasn't that cynical regarding her announcing she's a virgin. I mean if its the truth, I don't see any issue with her sharing it. I can definitely see how it'd be annoying for Harper though to constantly be asked about Jones and her posing nude etc.

Only disappointing thing about the 100 hurdles is that Foster-Hylton had a chance to medal in her last Olympics. Shame that. She's retired earlier. That's how it rolls with sprint hurdles though.

She is from all reports. Know people who went to high school with her.

Disaster Games for Kenya so far. Ezekiel Kemboi's man riding tactics the only bright spot so far
