Sam - "Always seems to be Americans..." It does doesn't it? I hope we never lose that aspect of American character.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there's something odd about a modern eight-year old being almost fast enough to claim a bronze back in 1895.
Something to do with needing a marker to aim for - not just more fitness.
Just about three seconds but that is three seconds in twelve so it's substantial.
