Phelps has got anothe rgold. That's 3 out of 8 and he broke his own WR...Is he superhuman or what?

As a francophile it's all hotting up over Laure manadou who has completely bothced two finals that she was supposed to win!
The press is all over it...

Roll on track and field...

I saw yesterday that it is being alleged that some of the Chinese girl gymnasts have POSSIBLY had their dates of birth doctored to make the age limit.

What i couldnt belive was the blame his diving partner put on him because they came 8th-i think sour grapes by 2012 he will be 30 and the young lad will be 18!

Also doen't help that the stripling is still competing in teh Olympics in about ten days time in an individual event and Mnsr Le Sour Grapes is done and dusted now!

Papers are saying this morning that they can prove that the C-girl gymnasts were competing as late as Easter this year with documenst showing them to be 14 (Including some Olympic qualifying events????) but that the IOC have looked at their current Chinese passports which declare to be 16 and are accepting that as the fact of the matter!

Odd tho', the discrepancy in the minimum age allowances of athletes depending on their discipline. Any light?

[J.R.]

Its something to do with a girls development.

14 is obviously a critical age for this.

I was watching a very interesting interview on German TV last night where the German Tem Doctor was shedding some doubt over the performances in the swimmiong pool and how fast all the records seem to be broken. One amazing thing was the Australian girl who, I think, won gold in 200m and in WR time. It transpires that she has manged to shave 11 seconds of her time in June 2006 with this performance!! Almost an impossibility unless she was.... There's something fishy going on methinks.

The guy also cast some doubt on the perfs of Michael Phelps who has brought down some of his PBs by 2 seconds...in swimming this is enormous...

Can you imagine if the 100m sprinters managed to imporve theri times by 2 seconds or even 11!!!!!!!

I take it the Germans aren't doing too well then?

Anyway, what happened to all those fantastic East Germans? Did they not breed?

Ahhh, steriod abuse, doncha just love it!!

Weird article in the papers last weekend said that he was 'selected'for swimming (how very teutonic!) as he has long top heavy bodyshape, short powerful legs and size 14 feet!! So I guess the answer to your question is Size 14 feet!

[CHAZ]

CRIPES! Size 14 feet...you know what they say about guys and big feet
