Tooj 17 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I was too young for that though. One of these kids who thinks atheletics was invented in 1992 imo. First Olympics I remember actually. '88 would have been a great even to have watched live though with all of the hype leading into it. Then seeing Johnson do that at the time before it all came out must have been something special.

Rob W 0 Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 Simon Barnes in the Times:- "The Perils of Paula continue to run and run . . . Every week, The Perils of Pauline ran in the cinemas early in the previous century. Every week, Pauline was menaced by pirates, or Indians, or lashed to the railway track, the train hurtling towards her and then - then you had to wait until the next week to see if she escaped. I think I am giving little away if I tell you she always did. And now we have, in quick succession, two more riveting episodes in the nation's favourite drama-queen serial, The Perils of Paula. Hardly had we recovered from the tale that Paula Radcliffe - already suffering from a stress fracture of the femur, an important bone for a marathon runner - had been bitten by a poisonous spider, then we learn that God has sent her a typhoon. Is there no end to this poor woman's suffering? She is confined to her hotel in Macau because of the storm that hit there and Hong Kong and stuck on the running machine at this, the critical point in her rehab from the fracture (and the spider-bite). We old Hong Kong hands are tempted to snort here - it's only the No8, it's not a real typhoon - but all the same, the timing is not great. But anyway, that misses the point. There are no small disasters in Paula's life, whether she is cracking up in the streets of Athens, or storming to victory despite a public pitstop, in London, or being oppressed by drugs cheats, or losing and getting a public bollocking from her husband, the egregious Gary Lough. All of which suggests that Radcliffe has a highly developed taste for playing the victim. Perhaps she does, but most full-time victims give up and blame others for absolutely everything. Radcliffe has twice run the New York City Marathon in the circumstances of the most ferocious head-to-head competition and her spirit prevailed on both occasions. She is a victim with a profound love of battle. But on we march to a dreadful day of reckoning in Beijing. I fear that the gods have yet to finish their sport with Paula.

Craig 6700 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 She's all over the papers but she keeps bleating on about her lack of training, her bad leg and her spider bite Why oh Why do we keep sending invalids (eg D Beckham) to important events - it should be like the 'Merican system - you run in the trials and if you win you go - otherwise you stay at home and shut up This has got nowt to do with the fact your appreciation of Paula Radcliffe ranks alongside MattM4's of the Sholanator has it per chance?
