[QUOTE="gingergenius, post: 247936"] well the indoor season's got up and running, what's everyone's predictions/ hopes for 2009? Hopefully I'm seeing a resurgence in British sprinting because Dwain Chambers and Simeon Williamson have started the season impressively. Tyrone Edgar has potential.. but imo Craig Pickering can gtfo. He's never going to run a sub 10 100m so I can't be bothered with him. There seem to be other areas where Britain is bulding a decent talent pool... the high-jump for example we have Bernard, Mason and Oni all performing well this season. Triple Jump we've got 2 potentially world class jumpers, Long Jump Greg Rutherford is performing well... There's a lot of talented women out there too, and hopefully we can have some more to equal Christine Ohurogu.. Marilyn Okoro looks good and Perri Shakes-Drayton looks a big talent over 400m hurdles. But my biggest thrill so far this year comes from Mo Farah, who's running beautifully, setting British records left right and centre. Running on form he looks absolutely wonderful... distance running is, after all, what humans are best designed to do and its lovely to see Britain have someone who can regain our reputation as a good distance running country.
