Quote[/b] (Mad Cyril @ April 18 2005,12:44)]So, Paula Radcliffe can win marathons when she is being paid hundreds of thousands of pounds in appearance, prize and sponsorship money.

Just think how many scratchcards had to be scratched to send Paula over to Greece to 'compete' in the Olympics. Pity she didn't put the same effort in then.

I have said it before, and I will say it again. Great Britain should cancel the passports of any of our Olympians who fail to win a medal and refuse to let them back into the country as a punishment for humiliating the country on the world stage. They will only be allowed back into the country once they have paid back all of the expenses incurred in sending them to the Olympics in the first place.

I realise that this would be difficult in the case of equestrian events where horses do not have passports or the means to repay expenses. In this case the horse should be shot.

Thanks for your time.

Synical idiot.

I'd like to see you achieve what Paula has achieved in her career. She's bounced back from her disappointment in Greece to win 2 consecutive marathons. She's a national treasure we should appreciate her.

My mum applied for the Marathon didn't get in, she's doing the North Run though  

Anyone know how Adrian Chiles did dressed up as the West Brom mascot?

Firstly I think pasports for horses may have actually been introduced.

In anycase I think the horses will probably be worth me if they are sold as a going concern, as your standard Frenchman doesn't want to be munching away and end up biting on a bullet, and I'm sure there would be health implications with regards lead poisoning amongst glue sniffers.

Alternatively becoming part-time abbatoir workers would provide gainful employment for any of our medal-less fencers.

Secondly if you read my post above you will see Adrian Chiles finished ahead of Harry Barris.

Thirdly Paula Radcliffe was 10 minutes slower than the quickest time on Sunday, and at least 10 other athletes ran quicker, although at least she had the common courtesy to finish this time.

Runs a little over 26 Miles in 2:17:42 and she still had time for a toilet stop  

She also finished over five minutes ahead of her nearest competitor!!

And how fresh she looked once she crossed the line.

She sure is an inspiration to everyone. Makes you proud to be English!

Well done Paula on another victory!

PS Her Autobiography is well worth a read too!!!!

I started reading it, but gave up half way through.

Agree with that.

When I read the story about Radcliffe apologising for going to the toilet, it made me chuckle.

You can only imagine how funny it was when I realised that she had actually stopped in front of everyone, laid some cable, then carried on running!!! Dear God, she must have had some killer chaffing at the end of the race!!

Im glad to see that bazza beat flooella (sp) after seeing her being litually carried over the line by two blokes
