Paula Radcliffe is a great sportswoman. She just should never have dreamed of running the 10,000m after running 22k's only this week. WHAT was she thinking? Or what pressure was she under?

And the UK media need to back off her, and let her be, ffs.

Better they focus their attentions in that young wee boxer (the 17 year old) who has qualified to fight for a medal.

Did you see him this evening I.T.? Irish boxing coach Billy Walsh (who is a friend of mine) was helping out in the UK corner, which I thought was quite nice. The BBC mentioned Billy after the fight, and mentioned his seven Irish titles.

The British national lottery, Camelot, or whatever they are called now (wouldn't you know, coercive state monopoly like our National Lottery), put pressure on, I believe over future funding over future British athletics, but in fairness, I think Paula in the end just decided to run regardless of consequences - to face her demons from earlier on - good for her.

As for the UK media - they are full of themselves - fullstop.

As for that boxer, I was watching him fight a buck from Kazakhstan - I was shouting; beat that Muslim so-and-so

I was go glad to find out that Kerry wasn't of Irish blood. One of the names in my family is "Carey" and I really did not want to be possibly related to that joker.
