McLaughlin-Levrone’s victory tightens her stranglehold on the 400 hurdles and bolsters her case as track and field’s most dominant athlete. She last lost a 400-meter hurdles race in July 2019, a streak of 25 consecutive races.

Mcdonald turned out in some pro sprints around north east and Scotland.

Pro athletics was quite a big thing.



Malcolm McDonald (Fulham, Luton Town, Newcastle United and Arsenal and Djurgarden) competed at a few Games in the mid 70s. Won the 100 metres challenge at the Gateshead Pro Games in 1976.  Running from 5 metres he beat George McNeil (scr.). I n the Footballers 75m McDonald beat Alan Kennedy by half a metre.    As a football player, he was capped 14 times for England scoring 8 goals.

like Caster Semenya she has been treated appallingly, lots of athletes/sportspeople over the years have had advantages but if they are natural/genetic that's bad luck on the rest.

semanya has testes - she has even fathered children. that's too big an advantage in women's events and seb coe agrees.

It is misleading, and it's mostly historical.  It's a market I'm very familiar with and it's been the same for decades.  Most golds used to nearly always mean medal table.  Experience teaches you to check the rules, but ofc everyone starts somewhere and it's best to make it clear for everyone.

Just turned on Sky News to hear of heroic receptions , open top buses and praise for an exceptional performance from team GB at these Olympics , as a total non follower can someone explain the reason for the " exceptional " praise across all the media or am i missing something.....

Previous 3 Olympics we averaged 26 Golds and 65.33 in average medals won.

2024 Olympics we won ...........14 Golds and 65 medals in total.

Bearing in mind the gap between Gold vs Bronze quite often is a country mile and a class gap haven't we either gone backwards or is it just others have leaped forward , seems miles off a successful games to me.
