Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

i really want Paula to win and will probably stay up to watch it. However if she wins she will take all the limelight from people like our double gold medalist + WR holder Addlington. How is this fair when she has already acheived so much more!

How about giving Paula a break (no pun intended with the stress fracture)
she's a fantastic athlete and if she starts she will do her best - if she doesn't win it won't be because she couldn't be arsed.

how many of those who are slagging her off have never run a marathon, or never had a sh*te race/run.

the old addage, if you can't say anything nice, say nothing at all.

Good luck paula

Paula is a more realistic contender than Hayley Haining, no disrespect but if Hayley was going to be on the team she needed to beat Liz Yelling, which she didn't

What a bunch of negative Nellies !

The limelight thingy is silly
Oh no we can't have anyone actually *be successful* cos the others might feel sad!
