Robsk II Posted 16 August, 2009 Posted 16 August, 2009 Brilliant heptathlon, World Champion, well deserved. Quite fit too.
Colinjb Posted 16 August, 2009 Posted 16 August, 2009 You love me? Or crab lungs? Play your cards right.....
chrisobee Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 Brilliant performance and then to see Usain Bolt run 9.58, WOW! A great evening of athletics though I guess some people will still harbour doubts as to the legitimacy of those performances. However, from my knowledge of athletics I know what's possible if you have the ability and desire, these two have both in abundance. Both stunning performances in their own way, Ennis missed the Olympics last year through injury but's it just made her even stronger.
Crab Lungs Posted 17 August, 2009 Posted 17 August, 2009 Lisa Dobriskey was a bit of a fitteh in Beijing, I remember that interview with her and her silly little voice... just Googled her pcitures though... hmmmm...

She missed the Olympics because of damage to the ankle she takes off from in the jumping events (not sure, but I think it was a stress fracture). So, in the past 12 months, she's trained to use the other ankle for take off. That's an amazing achievement!

Yes, Denise Lewis had to do the same thing in her career, they do make these heptathletes tough.It's nice to see the GB girls are invariably far less shall we say muscular than many of the others and certainly fit in every sense though of course I only really concentrate on their athletics ability
