Dragon 1,756 Posted July 1, 2017 #231 Share Posted July 1, 2017 At the British trials today World and Olympic 400m gold medalist Christine Ohourogu failed to reach the final. I think this is the end for her after winning medals at nine successive world/Olympic championships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon 1,756 Posted July 3, 2017 #240 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Major announcement just been made. A study has revealed female athletes with hyperandrogenism get a huge boost because of their high testosterone levels http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/A/ATH_IAAF_TESTOSTERONE_STUDY?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2017-07-03-16-50-17 Too late for 2017 but, for example, the 800m could be very different in 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
