I know it's 40 years to the week (11th August 1984) since Mary Decker's fall but not sure there was any need for 4 guys in the 5000m heat to pay tribute by copying her. It was almost the exact same position coming into the home straight too.
Is that the one that Danny Mill's lad fell and had a confrontation with the French bloke?All caused by a true Brit Zola Budd :)
The English lad is through after the incident was looked at by a judge but he did his own fair share of pushing IMHO.

Thank you, I just read about it. I've not been watching this morning. (recording though I'm not daft!! *no comments from the back row*) :-)Yes Eccles.

They used to do it in judo too. I think it's standard in combat sports.In boxing it’s because it’s such a potentially dangerous sport, they’d rather give 2 bronzes than risk a serious head injury in a bronze medal bout
The point is there are so many other strong teams. I would say we are second favourites in the 2 events you mention. Only 12 events in total. Hope your optimism is right pal (I’m probably an old City FOC, very pessimistic lol)Well we've got gold and silver from the first 2 events and we're in the gold medal race of the 3rd tonight. Top 4 in qualifying for the 4th event where we will try to qualify for the medal race.
I think Emma Finucane is the big hope, they expect 2 more golds for her.
Yes, it’s a good practice tbh, less chance of unnecessary injuries, much better to give 2 bronzesThey used to do it in judo too. I think it's standard in combat sports.
