Damnit ECG I told you to keep your dad under control.
Ok now the Olympics are over a quick poll of peoples thoughts and opinions.
best athlete?
Goat/dissappointment?
Memorable moment?
best athlete - Catalina Ponor - three events entered, three golds. Criminally ignored by the media, and unlike other gymnasts there was no doubting the scoring of her events. Also, Ian Thorpe - forget the hype about Phelps, when it mattered Thorpe owned Phelps in the pool. Brad Wiggins in the cycling as well.
Hero - Amir Khan's dad. Just because.
Goat/Dissappointment - Paula Ratcliffe. The US/UK media for their lack of respect for non-American athletes and their parochical attitude.
Moment - Mark Lewis-Francis holding off Maurice Greene in the 4x100 and Darren Campbell calling Michael Johnson a wanker.
