They all have filthy upper middle class names like Mohamed Sbihi and Constantine Louloudis.

Yes you are right they are all working class heroes, Sbihi being born in the well known ghetto of Kingston-upon-Thames and Louloudis going to that infamously rough school Eton College. Rowers are by and large very upper-middle class in the UK. We are both British (I assume you are too?), and so we both know there is no point denying that. These guys have sat and dined in the same places as Tory grandees.

You know what, I read your original post as "Why do all British rowers' names sound so similar?"!

#Athletics women's 10000m Alice Nawowuna #KEN faded to 4th place but her 29:53.51 would have been the 2nd alltime best perf before tonight

luckyboy said:Everybody talking about short track - as in it's not 400m so they didn't actually run a full 10,000 metres? How amateurish would that be
Also how come it's taking so long for anywhere to show everybody's times? From what I saw the top 6 or 7 would be among the times of the previous top 3 fastest ever times..
