Don't get me wrong - I'm not disputing her talent to run fast. I'm just not sure about her ability to 'win the big one'.

I seem to recall a race when the commentators were going on about her tactics not paying off for her, she either went off too fast or too slow or something and ended up getting out "kicked". Might have been 1999.
It depends what you see as success and failure. For somebody who is labelled as arguably the best British athlete she hasn't done to well on the Olympic stage but I dare say her trophy cabinet takes a while to be fully polished and I'm guessing her London and Chicago records are still in tact. Her time is running out I guess on the Olympic stage, she'll be what, 34 by the time of the next Olympics?
