Did I tell youse about my hurdling career?
I entered the 300m (yes 300m) hurdles at school as a 14yr old. I had a clash with the triple jump (which I was fucking useless at) so missed my age group heat .
They sorted it so I could do a timed run with the senior kids. Great!
300m to run. 7 or 8 hurdles to clear.
I came last by about 230m. Probably the most embarrassing sporting thing I've been involved in.
Not sure what my time was, but I also didn't get a call up for my age group final.
Good times

Starc doing a passable impression of me trying to clear 2.39m

Hyde was in the lead and looking strong and then clips the hurdle and falls. Brutal.

15.67m Astonishing
I hope that is the word we’ll continue to use to describe it, she looks like she is in a different competition to the others.

Pleased I watch tonight's events. Great pity they couldn't do this in a full stadium.

They could’ve had a jump off but they chose to share the gold. Brilliant.
