Paula Radcliffe

She won the women's marathon!

She looks American and has an American sounding name. How the hell did that happen? Did the Kenyans not show up this year?


John from Boston

That's the "B" race. The men's race is the only one that counts.

Obama has them all working for ACORN.

Not the point. Women are inferior athletically. If not, you'd have both genders competing together...but then you'd never win anything.

Not only did she stop to pee, but she won the race. Sure, she could have held it-or found a more appropriate place but either may have cost her the win. That woman has some serious dedication!
I LOVE PAULA!!!

Well, i wouldnt fancy many mens chances in a doubles match against Venus and Serena - both of whom have a faster second serve than most of the top male players................

SOME women are inferior to SOME men athletically. I can guarantee you that Paula Radcliffe is NOT inferior to YOU athletically.

Now, while I can see the basis for your arguement being that elite men physically and genetically have the ability to run faster than elite women, don't make blanket statements about men vs women.

You're kidding, right? Federer and Nadal would crush them. They could play 300 sets and the Williams sisters wouldn't win one. This is of course assuming that Federer and Nadal practiced for some time as partners. Doubles is all about teamwork, which is why you seldom see the games best players competing. They tend to stick to singles.

Thats the top two men in the world - most of the time they crush the other MEN never mind what they would be like against the Williams sisters. I did say against MOST top players they would do well....not all.

Name a sport women are better at. And sweeping floors doesn't count.

I can guarantee you that Paula Radcliffe is NOT inferior to YOU athletically.

She's got me in running, but I'd take her in boxing, baseball, football, arm wrestling, weight liftling, basketball and beer drinking.

don't make blanket statements about men vs women.

Why not? We're physically superior across the board.

You can't pee as gracefully as Paula did.

John - Radcliffe is a very old English name - from Nottingham i think - but, she does look like an American.

She pisses like a horse tho................

Yep.
Radcliffe-on-Trent is a village in Nottinghamshire. So the name originates from there.
Also in this County is a village named Gotham.
And another is called Bunny.
I do not jest.

Hey SJ, no need to apologise dude.

Well, whether a Brit or an American, it doesn't change my point...where the hell were the Kenyans? I've heard of fewers Brits winning marathons than Americans!

They are all visiting Nottingham.

Hey, all you English fuckers...any of you watching the Calzaghe-Jones fight Saturday night? I can't wait. Calzaghe is gonna beat him fucking senseless. I can't stand Roy Jones Jr.

You're missing the point. I already said you were correct that genetically speaking men do have more athletic ability, as a general rule. But, Paula Radcliffe, Deena Kastor and Amy Palmiero-Winters could kick ass against 99% of the male population (and Amy only has one leg!)

[Rick]

Damn, that's desperation. When you gotta go, you gotta go.

Kenyans usually dominate in men's running but not as much in women's. Although this year it was a Brazillian that won the men's marathon.
