Thought she got her tactics all wrong in the Olympics (1500 metres) but yesterday proved what she could really do. Broke the British record and hammered the Olympic champion. Studying to be a vet as well, good on her. Just my opinion.

Sorry mate, you can't celebrate athletic achievement anymore. She broke a record by more than 2 seconds so must be drugged/intersex.

I didn't see her in the Olympic final but that time was 15 seconds faster than the gold medal winner!!!!!

Its hardly a surprise people get suspicious.

I can never get my head round the use of pacemakers in middle distance running. To me a race is simply about individuals matching their ability and tactical awareness against others. There's something false about 'athletes' who have no intention of participating in the actual race but are there for a lap or two simply to drag the serious runners round the track. It's a bit like the keirin in cyclibg. Just my opinion, as they say.

I don't understand how a guy on a motorbike never wins that race.
