'High' hopes for World gold; RESULT!Byline: DEREK McGOVERN; JOHN SHAW John Shaw may refer to any of the following people:
THE MOST ridiculous discipline in the World Athletics Championships, starting this weekend, is the 110metres hurdles. I ask you - who on earth can jump that high? I love the World Championships. It's where highly-toned athletes attempt to run quicker than anyone has ever run before, a task which would be far easier if they allowed drugtesters into the stadium just before the 100m final. There are fears that top athletes are taking drugs that are easily masked but surely the best way for a track star to disguise the fact that he's taking steroids is to run a bit slower. Team GB are 5-4 with Hills not to win a single gold medal gold medal traditional first prize. [Western Cult: Misc.] See : Prize , which looks mighty tasty to me. For the optimistic/deranged, it's 3-1 for four medals or more of any colour. I always feel sorry for male athletes at these big events. There they are in their physical and sexual prime, perfect specimens of manhood MANHOOD. The ceremony of doing homage by the vassal to his lord was denominated homagium or manhood, by the feudists. The formula used was devenio vester homo, I become you Com. 54. See Homage. . The problem is, so are the women. ADDITIONAL REPORTING BY JOHN SHAW |
