Re: The Commonwealth Games
NZ are doing well but a few disappointments too. We know quite a few of the NZ team as they are from the same athletics and gymnastics club as 50.5W. She has also been training with a few of the athletes recently including both male decathletes that got injuredPurple Hayes wrote:I'm enjoying it, hope England can top the medal table for once, those Aussies do put up a fight though, Canada?

Re: The Commonwealth Games
What about the fat chain smoking marathon runner from England!!!
Gets told at 33 he has stop eating 4 takeaways a week and lose some of his 110kg (16st) weight and stop smoking - 7 years later he comes 10th in the Commonwealth Games marathon with all the top African runners.
Apparently he entered the London marathon just as a normal runner and ended up coming 15th which qualified him for the games. At the end of the race they tried to usher him into the elite athlete VIP area but he had to duck off as his gear was in a platic bag on the back of a truck with all the other punters

What, again? I thought the tournament where billionaire sociopaths raced their yachts in circles was only a few months ago.

You aren't invited to this one, the clue is in the name i.e. it doesn't include America or World Series.Rat Patrol wrote:What, again? I thought the tournament where billionaire sociopaths raced their yachts in circles was only a few months ago.
