You Go Girl!!!

Did you see the final of the women's 400m?!

Typical of Sanya Richards to go off too fast. She's done that in all of her heats. It was all going good until the home straight. Britain's Christine Ohuruogu was back in like 5th or 6th place and then just snuck through with 50m to go to take the gold medal!!

And the best bit of it is her reaction! She just couldn't believe it and then broke out in a mammoth grin to rival mine! It was so endearing! I felt so happy for her!!

And felt so sorry for Lola Jones in the 100m hurdles final. She was a dead cert to take gold and then went and tripped on a hurdle allowing everyone to overtake her and leaving her without a medal. Poor girl. And it showed all over her face!! She was so angry with herself and it's not surprising. Just like the Swede in the semi final who was also a dead cert for a medal tripped at the first hurdle and didn't even finish the race.

I feel so sorry for these girls because they spend so long training for this. Of course there are other championships but the Olympics is the one everyone wants to win. And then they go and trip. They must be kicking themselves!!!

But so pleased for Christine!! you go girl - it was a great race!!
