I have been watching, not going to well is it? I think the main hope is Nathan Douglas in the triple jump.

Ah great I missed it this morning, I cannot believe he is out. Let me guess Marlon Devonish and Christian Malcolm are out of the 200m and Tim Benjamin is out of the 400m lol.

I suppose but if you take Kelly Holmes out of the equation we only got two medals. If we even get 2 here that would be great

I keep hearing about it one the radio and I agree with the people who say we pump loads of money into the stars of athletics and we get very little back. Instead of giving the money to the stars we should give it clubs and the children that will be the future stars in the London Olympics and win some medals for a change.
