Iceni Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Sadly, yet again, Paula Radcliffe was hardly worth her train fare to the women's marathon. Despite finishing 23rd PR was interviewed ad nauseam but the Brit with the un-brit name, Mara Yamauchi who came in 6th, was scarcely mentioned. Though I suppose it's her own fault for not being as blonde and photogenic. Or she might be under contract to a rival I suppose.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Well I saw a photogenic blonde being interviewed on Sky News after winning a gold for England in a swimming race.Her comment was "like that record has been like there for like 19 years like, it's like crazy!................... Like!A terrific athlete, photogenic but was not a particularly good ambassador for her own language.Maybe the person who came sixth was similarly uninterviewable?6th or 23rd they both lost didnt they?
