Or just because of patriotic money distorting the odds?I seem to remember her coming fourth in an event that was on the TV earlier this year. No idea which though.Anyone got any knowledge of this eventI admire the swimmers hugely but it's not a great watch, especially with the director and commentators we had. To say there's 900 metres left when there's actually 50 is a pretty big error. David Davies didn't add much either.https://community.betfair.com/commonwealthgames2010/go/thread/view/114965/29302945/open-water-swim-10k?post_id=522812697#522812697I admire the swimmers hugely but it's not a great watch, especially with the director and commentators we had.
