Ohuruogu has won every final she's ever contested at a major championship. She might be a drugs cheat, erm forgetful, but she performs when it matters.

Really need to Chinese athletes to cheer for. Four more medals of any description and the American Media's "We're Winning Really" strategy can fuck right off.

Yep. That Jade Johnson is fit. So tall and slender. Some of them look a bit anorexic though.
The heptathletes seem to be the fittest generally

i have a thing for pole vaulters (have dated a couple of them). but not every bloke is comfortable having a girlfriend who can bench-press more than his mates.
one of my pole-vaulting ex's weighed about 60kg, could bench about 70-75kg and was very fiery. once we were in a club and some dude made a comment that upset her, so she gave him a shove and sent him flying into a table. good times.

I see 2012 track racing playing out like Rocky IV with Chris Hoy as Ivan Drago and a plucky Orstrayan training out on Dartmoor for the final showdown. And there will be a montage.

Any body watching sky sports news?

They just showed a brilliant clip from Aussie sky sports news with them all whinging about how they cant believe the poms are going to beat them in the medal table.

Not really fair. She missed three tests, she has never failed a drugs test.

Maybe "so far", but still hasn't.
