Rojas is the polar opposite to the skimming stone Edwards. As impressive as she’s been (very) every time I watch her I just think what the hell is...

At the other end of the scale who would your biggest disappointments be?

Vetter clearly for me.Totally bizarre season. I don’t like to...

[Ursus]

I’d say all WR holders are physical freaks by definition and I’m not placed to comment on Crouser’s diet.

As brilliant as Warholm was,...
