Watching Sally Gunnell in the hurdles there I was still thinking she was going to fall over she seemed to be at an angle and going too fast!! :-)
I remember shouting at the time. Be careful Sally!!! :-)

Egypt currently beating France 1-nil going in to the 80th minute of the second men’s football SF (winner faces mighty Spain).

Elise spurns a great chance to level it.

What the fuck’s this shit?

‘Cos like basketball is so low scoring, we better invent a sport where’s there’s more action around the basket and play on a tiny court?

What channel is football on ? I can only see basketball at moment .

6.24 by him, he's set it like 10 times now.

Knows what he's doing, you get money every time you break the record plus he has contract incentives, so just pushes it 1cm each time.

There's only really pole vault and high jump you can take this approach, and why wouldn't you?

Regardless of incentives, if 6.24 is the world record, would anyone try and go for 6.30? You just wouldn't. Just make sure you go for higher than anyone has ever achieved, that's more than enough.

The guy is incredible.
