European Athletics Team Championships - Amelia Chaffinch - 11-08-2019
As someone who loves GB athletics, especially the relays, I was gutted when I sat down all agog, in anticipation of the men's 4x4 to find out we'd been withdrawn. Even more disappointed when it turned out to be an administrative cock-up. We had entered a shot-putter's name instead of Rabah Yousif. I don't know which bit I find more disappointing; the fact that whoever's job it was, couldn't get the right athlete or that the powers that be in Poland couldn't give any leeway because it was a honest mistake.
Mind you, I probably wouldn't either if it had been the opposition.

Bloody jobsworths
What I want to know though is when did Poland become a top athletics country?

Typical British incompetence - no wonder we're in a mess. The Poles are great at vaulting
and more probably the throwing events, which is why we don't notice them.
