Very well done to her after a nightmare year leading up to the Games!

Her looks remind me of Kelly Holmes a wee bit!

There was a guy running for the USA today whoes father competed for England in some event (can't remember which) but then went to live in the US.  I guess his son was born out there & it entitiles him to run for them.

His Aunt still lives in England & watches the T.V. while listerning to the commentry on Radio 5 Live!

it's almost certain that Gb will finish 4th in the medal table (the stated target for 2012)... and there is a remote possibility of finishing 3rd if all the remaining gold medal possibilities are converted (BMX, canoeing, boxing etc)

quite incredible really
