" So typical . Why don't they just accept that she was so obviously the best, by far. Well done Amy. Where do they train in the UK, I wonder. .

In the interview with her she sounded very down to earth considering her achievement, said she'd asked her coach how she'd done. Great achievement! Good friends are like stars ...... you don't always see them, but you know they're always there.    Report

'Ramshackle' was the word used. So even more kudos to Amy for victory in difficult circumstances. It makes my blood boil sometimes over the lack of sports facilities in UK, far fewer opportunities now than when I grew up in London and so expensive to use what is available! Sorry, rant over, Well done Amy Make tea not war    Report
