arwebb 133 Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 i was like 7 months old during Seoul, i don't think i was calming anything He was billed as a Canadian sprinting star while he'd won gold, and when he was found out, he was billed as a Jamaican drug cheat. Hypocrisy if you ask me. Link to post Share on other sites

Hypocrisy if you ask me. Exactly, If Ben Johnson hadn’t have tested positive all of Canada would be like “Oh, look at us, we have a black, immigrant gold medallist, blah blah blah we are sooo multicultural, blah blah blah he is a true Canadian, blah blah blah maple leaf maple leaf maple leaf.

RAP 0 Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Anyway, France won with T&T finishing second.... Ben Johnson, was beauty in motion; he was just unfortunate and got caught, while very likely half of the other sprinters that lined up with him in the final of the 100 meters didn't. Carl Lewis was likely one of them FloJo was also a big cheat, whose world records seem astonishing, even in todays steroid tainted athletics records. Steroids should just be made legal in athletics as everyone is doing them! ??? :unclesam: Link to post Share on other sites

Just admit you got owned on this one Got owned?? What in the name of goodness knows what does that mean? As I said earlier, France took a big gamble by putting their two quickest runners on the first two legs. It paid off handsomely for them, so all credit to them for that. As for us, I could make comments along the lines of 'we missed Darren Campbell on the second leg' or our sprinters aren't at their best, but I'm fed up of an excuse mentality that seems to be creeping into British athletics and I'm pleased to see that the new performance director, Dave Collins, seems to be talking tough now. The best side won on the night, but I'd like to think revenge would be ours in Gothenburg next year. Link to post Share on other sites

Cordelia18 0 Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Why does Radcliffe constantly moves her head while she runs? I watch the marathon on French TV and the commentators were all wondering... I'm happy that the Bahamas 4x400 relay team gets silver. I love this country and the people from there are so friendly...As the song says "it's better in Bahamas ...etc" :laugh: 7 medals for France 2 gold medals...Not bad But I'm so disappointed about Canada I thought Perdita could bring a gold medal home but she didnt. 1 medal only... THey'll probably do better at Torino :: Link to post Share on other sites
