    Certainly not on the fern. @NTA is proof of that.

      Nick's not angry - miserable maybe - but his peak red mist years are way in rear vision mirror.

        Tbf Jack was banned for some supplement which she stupidly didn't check while trying to become an influencer on Instagram. Totally her fault but hardly comparable to whatever that Chinese guy was on. If you're going to cheat at least make it look realistic.

            Great mornings work. Thought we might pip the USA but I think we used up the energy from 1000 to 1500 m. We are bloody good at rowing for a small country.

            Yes. NZ has a great record for a country of such a relatively small population.

            The worst sporting country by a mile is India. Most populous country in the world and they currently have 3 bronze medals. Get the impression 98% live in abject poverty and 2% have unbridled wealth.

            Probably because they pour all their resources into cricket

                      Was at a client function recently and got chatting with an Indian bloke and yes, whilst he himself was a lithe fit dude he bemoaned his countries lack of athleticism on the whole. He mentioned for a cricketing mad nation they’ve only produced one truly great fast bowler. Ever.

                      They’re pretty handy at table tennis, squash etc aren’t they ?

                                  Alternatively it's a convenient line to protect one's source and generate the perception so that she 'did not come across to the Sole Arbitrator as someone who would intentionally cheat by deliberately taking a Prohibited Substance'...

                                    It's amazing how easily athletes figure out (retrospectively) how a banned substance got in their system. Almost like they have the excuse pre-planned.

                                      Do these uniforms serve any special purpose? Not sure how motorcycle leathers help with target shooting

                                      Certainly the Turk missed the memo.

                                      I wonder if the structure of the clothing helps minimise movement.

                                        Traditional, more than anything. Leather shooting jackets have been around for years. However you can see how they cleverly use the trousers as a stiff platform for elbow. So yeah it helps minimise movement
