I don't feel sorry for her. Whingy bitch. Australia's most unbearable athlete by a long distance. It's only sad because that's one less bronze we'll get (would back her to choke again at Beijing).

Hardly choked at Athens. She was just coming back from a knee injury ffs.

ash chaulk · 10-07-2008, 05:30 PM

yeah feelin for the chick, love my olympics and with no aussie in that final its one less to get excited about.

Samuel_Vimes · 16-07-2008, 05:03 PM

Seems like there's another hurdler popped up once Pittman withdrew.

Top work. That race was clearly the standout of the meet.

I wouldn't really call her whingy, she got played off Tamsin Lewis and most people took Lewis's side because she's half-decent looking. Unfortunately for Lewis she chimed in and it was realised she was a blonde bimbo and we spent quite a while wishing she'd shut the hell up too.

The beat up over her injury was way over the top though, something she admitted the other day. The only good thing about 'The Dream' not being on is that we won't have to put up with Lewis on it trying to join in and be funny.

Yeah, the other 10 (Antarctica doesn't count) are awarded globally.

That said, Oceania only gets 7 free spots in 20 wrestling disciplines, so he has earned it.

Terrible news. Another gold medal hope gone

Craig Mottram just won at a strong 3,000 metre meet in Stockholm. 7:37 the time.

Johnners · 22-07-2008, 11:41 PM

Would be a huge achievement if Mottram can even grab a medal in Beijing. He's obviously capable of it, but it will be some effort.

needs to take up smoking to acclimatise(?) himself
