    View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgWWqIj_Hhc&t=240s Another top Kenyan marathon runner busted! How can anyone believe the validity of East African domination at recent World Cross Country Champs and other events.

    Thanks! the event was rather 'underwhelming' no fast food outlets, no beer tents, no loud music even TV coverage seemed lacklustre.

    Great racing in tricky conditions , Dutch men's race was also good but why did there appear to be so few spectators. I see so many more at World Cup , Superprestige events.

    Sad to hear of retirement of Iserbyt. He was a CX star and not just a roadie whom only rode CX when it suited them.

    Does Brand even have many fans, despite her amazing success I can't recall ever seeing a fan at races with a large Brand banner as the more popular riders. At Baal even Isserbyt had a fan race side with a sign 'we are missing you Elli'

    I don't even think that this is a question due to the short duration of CX races, riders shed their jackets before race start then just endure to the finish, I can't recall riders taking off anything more than gloves/glasses. Earlier at Namur Issebyt almost succumbed to hyperthermia in the cold...

    I know only an imbecile such as myself would return each time, hoping for a different outcome. Again Brand lacks instant acceleration from the start giving me hope as she is swamped by quicker riders, that lasts about 20 seconds as she breezes by everyone with little apparent effort, there was...

    View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nP6RPZ_fMo Out today I notched up another dog breed to add to my growing list. A leonberger as You Tube video. What a huge dog, twice the size of Odie but soft, gentle and amiable. I had seen this dog once before but dismissed it as a St Bernard X this is...

    Cricket- the sport not the insect

    Is a quality wicket realistic in Australia given high temperatures? Luckily for England the dodgy wicket turned the 4th test into more of a lottery and after so many years England won an Ashes test in Australia . edit Subsequently the MCG was given a wrap on the knuckles by the ICC for the...
