ok.. shamed the nation was a bit much, but she did let herself down in the 10,000. I genuinely believed, in the marathon, she just couldnt go on, and it wasnt just because she knew she was out of the medals... no one can doubt her physical courage, this is the girl who once pushed herself so hard running when she was ill she lost her vision briefly... but she seemed to experience some sort of emotional and mental breakdown... in the 10,000 she said her leg muscles were tightening and she was worried about getting injured... I mean I cant speak on how she felt and only she will know in her heart if she could have gone on, or she just stopped cos she was off the pace... all I can say, is that if I was her, and I know Im not and I dont have the dedication or fitness to run at all in those conditions - but if I was her, in that sutuation, as long as I genuinely didnt get hurt, I would have walked round the track 9 times if I had to, no way would I not have finished that race if I was physically capable of it.
