Shes performing next week!

She's performing at about 10am tomorrow morning. Both Athletics Weekly and US mag Track and Field News predict her to win.

She's the toughest competitor in the athletics team. Will no doubt set PBs and fight all the way.

BBC 1 just did a good feature on the 'Face of London 2012' for the host nation.

Yep, if she wins gold she'll earn millions just like Paula Radcliffe.

*fills diary*

Her and Louise Hazel are pretty much the only ones I was interested in seeing before the Games kicked off.

These aren't just heats, right?

Mr Poetic · 03/08/12 - 06:34

I dodnt know her but nobody in athletics (or sports full stop) comes across as friendly and lovely as she does in interviews in my opinion. You can see why everyone loves her. And she is hot as well

Unfortunately I have a big wad on Wiggins for SPOTY and she is the only one who could stop me so I woont be cheering on the gold as vociferously as I normally would

Agreed. She really is something special. Fingers crossed for her, I really want her to get gold but I think she's behind a couple of others on this years results ? She's really up against it to win.

No, they are the real thing, no heats in the Heptathlon.

Count dracula

Crikey, she's looking a bit peturbed today! I hope it's just concentration and there's nothing wrong!

Elanor · 03/08/12 - 10:37

Ha! Just concentration then, phew! Wait! Did Colin just say that that time would have put her in the final of the NORMAL hurdles, not just the heptathlon one?
