Obviously not.

I feel a bit sorry for her. One ill advised remark. She probably deserved benefit of the doubt.

She was treated abysmally by the Karens of this country.

You didn’t hear the OTB interview then no?

I remember her getting thick and refusing to answer questions.

I’m predicting a bronze

It was one stupid remark and repeated ill advised remarks. She made a fuck of herself the way she handled it.

Anyone can say something stupid. She was stupid.

Yeah. She should of just apologised and moved on.

I’ll go for silver with a chance of gold. I’d love to see Rhasidat running the third leg and handing over to Sharlene to bring it home, but I guess she’s needed to unwind the stagger at 500m. Phil Healy is both the key and the doubt. If she can run a decent 3rd leg we’ll be thereabouts.

What’s the story with this A & B final

Her coach is insisting she runs in the second leg

Classic 4x400m tactic is to put fastest second and second fastest last.

Reckons we’ll be leading at leg 4. If we have 8m lead we can do it.

It’s hard being chased down by a faster athlete. Tough one.

Her coach in Texas is insisting on it because she’s less likely to get injured apparently.

That’s what they were saying on off the ball anyway.

That was what was said for the mixed relay where ladies run 2 and 4. It’s pure tactics for the women’s, not dictated by her coach as far as I know
