hey Go Mo

Some of the muslim athletes are not fully observing Ramadan, but will do it later or donate money to charity instead. No chance that Mo hadn’t eaten or drunk anything today!

I was wondering how Muslim athletes did Ramadan during competition. Would be interesting to know!

I don’t remember who it was now, but I read an article a couple of days ago with someone who basically said they (personally) prioritise fuelling over fasting before an event.

That was fan bloody tastic

He will fast later on in the year, out of competition apparently

In the meantime team GB in the football have just gone to penalties 😀

amazing performances from team GB today.

Muslims dont have to fast if they are travelling or working extra hard and if they are ill, or feeding children etc they can put the time in later. We have to encourage them to drink on the well sites here as it is roasting and they would keel over by NAFFI break if they dont drink. I tried it one year but sacked it by lunchtime on day one !!!!!

Not that I give a toss about football but,

As a nation, we really need to learn how to take penalties.

Legend…… Mo, that is.

That was a great run, but couldn’t help but notice that he nearly put his head in big pile of spit left on the track by the American athlete who finished second.

lol^ saw that too! Nice touch with his Mrs and kid coming to celebrate tho’

Ramadan permit lots of exemptions. I reckon competing in the olympic counts as a valid exemption. Very well run Mo!
