Hi

Great stuff Jessica it was a treat to watch the way she won the Gold. She could have hung around in the 800 meters but she ran to her best ability and won the race.

Well done too to Mo Farrah and Greg Rutherford. The British rowing and cycling teams continue to excel. The cycle team are not only winning but breaking World Records.

I just heard on TV that in the 1948 London Olympics the longest distance that women were allowed to run was 200 meters !!

Today I saw hundreds of women from all over the World running 42 Kilometers. !!! The fastest ones at around 2hrs 20 minutes. Things have surely changed.

Cheers
