Congrats to Mo and Jess, thoroughly deserved! Quote:
Valerie Adams also made a Dame in the NZ list.

Well done to Mo and Jess on their awards..

Well done Sir Mo Farah and Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill.
Both completely deserved. ![]() Quote:
One that might go under the radar somewhat amid all of the rightful praise for Sir Mo, and Dame Jess, is Sir Roger Bannister's award: The Order of the Companions of Honour..

Well done to Sir Mo and Dames Jess and Valerie. But still no Sir Bolt??!!!!!!! With all due respect to all the other athletic knights, Sir Bolt actually sounds like someone who could have had a seat at the round table

It would be up to the Jamaican PM to nominate him, as the the NZ PM has obviously done for Val.

So pleased for Jess - three times World Champion is an amazing achievement - and not suitably celebrated during her active years (for obvious reasons). The Dameship goes some way to make up for that.

How do you address the husband of a dame if you call the wife of a knight Lady so and so?

Best thing about Jess being made a Dame is how much it's annoyed the Ched Evans cheerleaders.

A fabulous new British indoor record for Laura Muir last night in the 5000 at the Glasgow Milers' Meet - 14:49.12 beating Liz McColgan's 1992 record by over 14 seconds. Laura is now #9 on the all-time list for 5000 indoors. Admittedly a rarely run event indoors but it's been done by some of the greats - T & G Dibaba, Defar, Adere & Szabo. In fact, Laura missed Szabo's European indoor record by under 2 seconds.
And Laura has said that she plans on doubling in the 1500 & 3000 at the Euro indoor champs in March! |
