Quoted from Manchester Mariner
In fairness to Warholm he says that he doesn't use super spikes and seems dead against them.

"The Norwegian, who was speaking after winning gold in 45.94sec, a world record and a performance widely recognised as one of the greatest in history, said his great rival Rai Benjamin “ran on air”, adding: “He had those things in his shoes, which I hate.”

I hear he trains by leaping from fjord to fjord ……….. in the car park.


“If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.”
― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty."

Troll!


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Shame about KJT. First time we’ve not had a heptathlon medalist since before Denise Lewis in 96.

This bothers me. Some people have natural advantages over others in certain sports. Some people are taller, and if they have great hand eye co-ordination they make good basketball players. People with fast twitch muscles have a better chance at sprinting etc etc. That’s what sport is about. They’re not banned from entering races that they’re good at or made to run with their trousers round their knees. So why should a woman with more natural testosterone than an arbitrary level be banned from certain races if they don’t take drugs to make them worse?

Cries of “but it’s not fair” from athletes who are not as good don’t wash. I wasn’t good at football, but nobody said the good players had to have their laces tied together to give others a fair chance.
