fair play. wasn't going to be in the f***ing triple jump though was it?

[Buzz]

fair play. wasn't going to be in the f***ing triple jump though was it?

 

But still, fair play to him.

[CarraLegend]

What a leg-end, good luck to him.

[Maldini]

Probably a stupid question, but will it be for the paralympics or is he hoping to compete in regular competitions?

[Eskimo]

the article didn't say...

[Guest]

he is supposed to be arriving in Sevilla next week to start a special training course at the CAR school on the river Guadalquivir - it's the place where all the best Spanish rowers do their winter training.

 

This means that he has stopped drinking then.

 

Good for him.

[Andy Mac]

Just his leg or is he coxless too?

 

Coat!

To be fair though, I could announce that I was hoping to make it to 2012 as a rower. doesn't mean it's going to happen.

be funny though, crossing the line 15 minutes after everyone else whilst throwing up and coughing up a lung at the same time.

I would expect the normal ones, it's hardly a massive disadvantage missing a leg for rowing.

That's nonsense.

Getting in and out the boat would take a bit of getting used to.

total bolllocks.

He would have a slightly unfair advantage if he entered the lightweights (<70kg). I mean, how much does a leg weigh?

ahem, rollocks.

[Ostrich Man]

its true....

[Guest Scot]

Even if he did win the Olympics he's no good. Any local amateur would beat him.

Cream him, surely?

Only to the casual observer.

There's a legless joke in there, but even I have standards.
