    I'd like to have seen a few more PB's to be honest, especially in the athletics and swimming. Pity I missed the 1500 its my favourite race I think, that and the 10,000.

    I thought the BBC showed they can do considered and interesting debate on sport tonight, they should get Michael Johnson on MOTD next season in my opinion

    Bit of a shame that due to a fell race I missed Bolt doing his thing tonight. I thought of him as I slogged through heather and bog....didn't make me go any faster though

    Similarly for a lot of kids, I bet dressage is the only way out of the ghetto. :w00t:

    Dissapointing Danbert. Sport is for all, there is one for every one. My daughter started riding years ago, she now plays badminton and has been asked to join the county squad. her choice.
