I'd imagine she is recovered from the hamstring injury but has not been able to train effectively to be in top shape. She said she was in prime shape before the injury a few weeks ago.
A decent low scoring game in the Hundred again. Billings - another top England 2nd XI batsman finished it well. IsTom Curran an asset or a liability? Not sure.
Second heat of the 200m mens semi final, the US sprinter eased off 5m from the line and two others overtook him. Unfortunately it seems he'll still get through as a fastest loser. What a shame, I always hope these arrogant idiots fail when they do that.
I'll always remember the Winter Olympics when somebody (an American, IIRC) celebrated her snowboard cross win when going over the final mound/hill/whatever She finished fourth...
I think they tried to throw a trick off the final drop and completely ****ed it. It was hilarious, though absolutely gutting for the rider of course. What a wally.
That Norwegian lad smashed the WR in the 400m hurdles. His time would beat many top athletes in the flat 400m!!
1st test v India, took the dog out for his walk at tea 138 for 4 got back made a cuppa and switched the cricket back on 160 for 9 , spits a mixture of tea and digestive across the room , what the f**k happened there
The odd thing is that some of these people are so supremely arrogant that they are prepared to bet four years of training and incredible hard work/expensive drugs just for the chance to show how much better they are that they don't need to put 100% in. And I don't think the coaches tell them to do that, they're just assholes. And even when it works I have no respect for them, because they clearly have no respect for their fellow athletes. But no matter how many times this showboating fails, they'll continue to do it.
China is pissed at the BBC for reporting reality: https://www.reuters.com/world/china...rting-chinese-taipei-olympic-team-2021-08-03/ The opposite reason from what I've been pissed at them for in recent years. The Chinese would probably have an even bigger problem with this picture of the badminton medalists: please log in to view this image Imagine losing to a country that you claim doesn't exist!
Looks like the good old TV trailers curse have worked again, nearly every time they blow smoke up the arses of sportsmen and women it goes wrong
They always do it in the Premier League. Team A v Team B. Super Striker A faces off against Magic Midfielder B. Except one's suspended and the other's injured.
Take a bow, Laura Kenny. the first British woman to win gold at 3 consecutive olympics. and she’s a Spurs fan.
West Taiwan is not recognised as a nation, by Taiwan. < I am Bruce Aylward, and I approve this message >
But let's not forget Katie Archibald (daughter of Steve) who was the engine that towed this train round ..............I may have made some of this up
