Kes pagan on see Emma Ania, kes sadat meetrit jookseb? Ja mida teeb koondises Chris Tomlinson, kes pole tänavu võistelnudki, kui nooruke Gerg Rutherford hüppas ometi 8.14 alles mõne päeva eest?
Ah... Palju rahvast on valitud vanade saavutuste pärast. Palju on poolvigaseid. Paula pole nähtavasti siis ikka veel otsustanud, kas 10000 või maraton.
Kui Helsingist 4-5 medalit saaks, oleksin rahul.
