Phillips Idowu appear to be really straining for a dump in that first pic, and apparently trying to catch it. Dirty Boy.

Does Semenya dress to the left or the right ?

Italian swimmer, Federica Pellegrini

Decathlon legend, Roman Sebrle

i was about to post a picture of laure manadou, but there wasn't much on google image search that was safe to post!

I told you. What a win in the 200m

DezB Right on the money, looks like a long distance runner with that build but can she run. Nice interview with her on Eurosport last night, down to Earth and no big time attitude.
