It's worth noting, of course, that DAS might not have to get close to that time. We don't know what shape ETH will be in. She has dominated the Olympics...

Selfish, sure. But athletics is mostly an individual sport and if you think you can win multiple medals, why wouldn't you try?

Also, you...

Yeah, that was something I was reminded of when looking at the events earlier. I can't imagine she wouldn't be thinking about it even slightly, especially...

Without trying to get too far off topic, the idea that the UK is truly a genuinely meritocratic system is...debateable. The system - as with almost any...

I don't disagree about the necessity of funding and the focus on medals. But therefore doesn't that mean that less of the blame should be directed here...

Should athletes confidence matter? Do the athletes have the best interests of the sport at heart, or the best interests of themselves? Is the latter,...
