Get out of jail card - fastest loser place in the final!

Butternut Sat 04-Aug-12 19:21:53

Nonu - It's just that you did 3 flags which didn't work ---- just helping you out. Not normally a flag waver, but these Olympics are inspiring! smile

JessM Sat 04-Aug-12 19:28:49

Oh phew he got a place in the final.
And long jump.... Rutherford is from MK. And my nomination for most attractive red-headed man ever.
It has been more of a women's olympics so far though...

Remember watching a programme about her when she sustained her injury and had to learn how to jump off her other leg. Didn't really know who she was, then. I do now. What pressure; what achievement; what a star! Didn't think she'd get back up to win either.

JessM Sat 04-Aug-12 21:24:32
