Pleasant and unpatronising
While we're on this unexpected tangent . . . the Sun, at the time, thought it was a wee. But then again, I thought she disappeared into a convenient dark tunnel type thing . . . maybe there's been a wee and a pooh . . . .
She did give a shit at the time though.
Come on Paula!
I mostly hope that she doesn't damage her leg for life. I ran a marathon on a stress fracture and couldn't run for 3 months. She's got one on her femur, and barely given it 6 weeks rest before picking up marathon training again. I fear for her, but I would love to see her win.

Respect my existence or expect my resistance
I hope she does really well and gets a medal.
I also hope she doesn't permanently damage herself if she has a stress fracture.
She's a great athlete - how many people on this thread have run an marathon or run in the Olympics?

Funnier than he thinks he is.
How many times has she done that exactly?

I discovered in the Tour de France that, when the cyclists discard the used water bottles from the feeding station, it's not littering because the items are prized by collectors, like say baseballs hit out of the park, or tennis stars' tops.
I wonder if that was the case with Paula Radcliffe's gift?

Ignore Zoooo she only watches sport/life for sexual reasons.
Paula is a legend whatever happens tonight, anyone who's followed her career knows what I'm on about.
Fuck the haterz.

acknowledging ur soup leg
I've only got one and a half cans left.
Why wasn't I told that the marathon was on this early!

It's 30 mins in and some of the runners look like they are dying 
I know you spoke lightly mate but Paula has really suffered today, and mostly in part because of what happened in Athens. She took a lot of flak for not finishing.
She's flogged herself, limping painfully home just to prove to folk that she's not a quitter.
She is a great athlete, tough yet vulnerable and I echo what you saidy, I really hope she hasnt hurt herself too badly.

Watching a bit of the replay now, but seen on the ticker that she came in 23rd. God, i hope she hasn't done any damage as well.
how old will she be then?ScallyWag II

38 or thereabouts? They've just mentioned this on the replay. It's do-able for her, suppose it depends on family and injuries/health. Good luck to her

She didn't pull out. Watching her finish now on the replay. She's in a right state 
Looks in agony
Looks in agony bollocks. she dropped out when she couldn't win medals and it hurt too much to continue.
We don't want athletes who are only interested in medals eh, just the ones who turn up to take part and aren't too fussed about winning.
