Beth Tweddle always comes off as a really nice person in interviews. I think some of the stick she gets is really undeserved. The England Rugby team look like the illegitimate offspring of a neanderthal and a lowland Gorilla, but nobody ever comments on how they look.
Indeed, there is that, and an excellent choice too. But is she quite as flexible..? This sort of thing counts for a lot, when it comes to powerful thighs.
Didn't see her, but probably. I'd be terrified to be watching the shot put, so many women who could beat me up.
Looks like former Lions Hooker Shane Byrne has snuck into the Olympics (sorry, don't know how to make the image larger).
I was cheering on the fast and powerful little Laura Trott earlier, after her brilliant racing in the Women's Omnium [she's in the lead], and when she took her cycle helmet off I went...Ah.., oh dear. She looks like 14 year old with make up on. Very cute, but she promotes an acute sense of cradle snatching in me. Which is very much the wrong emotion.
