As one person has already said they aint there to be interesting, they're there to train hard, they train harder and more often than pretty much any other sports person.<br /><br />-- Sat Mar 10, 2012 10:48 am --<br /><br />
Not for me, I play football, but I took up running about a year ago, for most people its just as big as having the world cup here.

Dame Kelly Holmes? Criminally dull Weetabix robo-whore.
Sir Chris Hoy? See above. Also, a shit referee.
Victoria Pendleton? Did the Audrey Hepburn portrait holding a piece of wholemeal toast.
Such individuals will be unavoidable for the next two years and the thought is depressing beyond words.
Are you not missing the point a bit here?
Athletes aren't there to be interesting,witty and charming.
We have the likes of myself and GSC for that carry on.
Athletes are there to train hard at their event and win medals.
You wouldn't hire a plumber to fix your blocked khazi,then fuck him off because he couldn't do an after-dinner speech,would you?
Actually that's a bad example,as he probably could,only in Polish.
Do you expect Usain Bolt to do an open mic comedy slot halfway down the fucking home straight,or Rebecca Adlington to do card tricks during the 400 metres butterfly?
As long as they got on with their gig, won the medals and then went away, I'd be happy. Instead our news broadcasts, our bus stops and vimto bottles are saturated with these plain beige fuckers for twelve months either side of the nonsense. Dame Kelly Holmes, a muscular telegraph pole voiced by Robocop. Sir Chris Hoy gurning his way through a face full of Shredded Wheat Bitesize, every ten minutes for two years. Paula Radcliffe shitting in the street on her way to the filming of Sports Personality of the Year. Insufferably tepid, the lot.

She's chunked up and is now a bit of a porker.

seeing how team GB's Dutch coach has decided to make a Yank the GB team captain I think we should go the whole hog and offer any world athlete British citizenship and a stipend for life if they'll turn traitor on their own country and run/shoot/swim whatever for GB.
That way we could have Bolt, the US 100m mens' team etc etc and we'd win all the medals.
On the other hand there is only one athlete I have any interest in whatsoever.
Pastorious.
