It can only bode well for the future of British Olympic teams... we just need to find more athletes (track) to come through ...
I agree to a point but we need to keep nailing what we are nailing ATM. IMHO I would worry that if we focus more on the track then we may take our eye off what we are good at.
They tend to push the funding towards the more successful ones so Athletics might suffer a little bit Cycling Rowing and Gymnastics will benefit.
And swimming JE.... the thing that might hold people back are the lack of top coaches. Take the rowing its the guy Jurgen who said he'd do 2 olympics and has done 4... who carries on from him..?
What a tactically and physically brilliant race by Mo. Best I've seen in a long, long time! Shades of Big Brendan ... Btw, whatever happened to Rooney in the men's 400m prelims? The coverage of the Brits is (unsurprisingly) very poor over here.
No ideas about Rooney but the 10,000M race had our commentators scratching their heads. All the build up was about how the Kenyans had a plan. The plan seemed to be run the race at exactly the pace Mo Farah wanted them to run it at.
OK, Ta. I thought he must have been ill, or summat. The Brits usually give the US a good race in the men's 4 x 400m, but I can't see that happening this time ... unless the US drop the baton ... again.
The other 400m mens guy Matt Hudson Smith said he made a mess of his race too... which goes back to my earlier point about coaches..?.. The girl JKT in the heptathlon too...
