So Chambers won the trial but has not achieved the qualifying time yet. Personally I think the UK athletics are right not to select a former drugs cheat as a policy. I don't understand, in order to keep Chambers out, why they didn't change their rules to say places are available at selectors discretion then just pick the top 2 in the trials as usual except for 100m.

I've always found the word "player" a strange one to use for someone who participates in Judo. It just doesn't seems to fit.

Why not "Judo Fighter" ?

Are you sure that you're not thinking of "Ludo" ?

Looking forward to ordering my favourite lunch of falafel with basmati and wild rice and multi- leaf salad from MacDonalds.  They don't have it in Barking.  Roll on the Olympics with healthy food options, that's what I say.

You think that's bad ?

In the 1948 Olympics they awarded medals for architecture, literature, music, painting, and sculpture.
