Kelly Sotherton in action during the high jump event of the woman's heptathlon
I like her - she looks like a certain gold medal cyclist. Actually she ran pretty well in 4x400.

Love me a bit of Wendy!
The Team GB photos are slightly biased towards the cycle squad! Do you s'pose anyone has noticed?
Aye our Wendy's got that classic semi-posh Mid Ulster accent. She seems to come from a well-to-do background but she just can't shake off the hick farmer twang. I likes it. She's my favourite dentist.
Doubt if anyone noticed the bias toward cycling; they probably just thought you were covering the medal WINNERS
Anyway who wants to see a bunch of failed British track and field showponys?

Did you watch them?
I didn't
nope.
i didn't even get to watch the wrestling...
