Athletes and their waffle....!

" Failure" Idowu

These days athletes  sound as if they have had a month's training in waffle. Just listen to the wretched Paula Radcliffe here.
But it's really nice to see when  stupidity intervenes.
 One of "Team GB's" high hopes for a gold medal at the Beijing Olympics  is  long jumper Phillips Idowu. We are told  by the BBC that this athlete, who after he failed to register a legal jump in Athens four years ago, said afterwards  "he felt like a failure".
