Olympic Athletics

Good news that Dai Green is going to be team captain. Bless him. Sounded very worried about the fact he will have to make a speech. Bless his little Welsh socks.

Jess - sincerely!

Athletics from Crystal Palace this evening. See who's on form. Just seen one great performance.
3 weeks today I will be at the Olympics!

And here is the link about the hottest thing in sprinting UK - Fastest junior ever! Beat the best juniors that America and Jamaica could offer. And he is selected for team GB

Thank you GNHQ !!! I am still not properly awake after sleeping very deeply (for a change)

You started one called Olympic Athletics Thread as well as this one, and in addition to the other one that is for general purposes. That's what butty means. Mind you, The Thread has done a disappearing act for the moment

This one is, I hope, for discussing the ins and outs of the UK team's chances and performance in running , jumping and throwing. Thrills and spills.
The other one, bumped by me, is general Olympics.
There are dozens of Olympic sports that will be running in parallel so I am hoping that there will be several threads and we won't be trying to discuss swimming medals on the same thread as show jumping events. Or security, travel, Boris being rude etc. Does that make sense?

The other one! This one is just for saying what a good idea!

But which thread, Jess - you've posted two. I'll be joining you, but in the interests of sanity, get rid of one please.

Good idea.
