Francis is a troll with a shotgun; when he points and fires, occasionally he's going to hit the broad side of a barn. I'd hazard to guess several in the silent majority saw a Cinderella story in the making, the final was the casting call. Kudos to Konstantinos who consistently blasted from t

Yeah, and if Freeman was one of ours, we would have gotten a 7th in the Women's 200 even using the Australian system. But I guess if MG or MJ had flinched at the start there might have been a recall. Ed Koch -Original Message- From: Justin Clouder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: 'T&F List' <[EM

It could also be what happens when a contender deliberately "tanks" a race. Check Capel's reaction time from the blocks for a start.  No-one can be that slow when they are trying to win.  Especially from Lane 4 where you are in the thick of the action. 0.348??  Twice the reaction time of the win
