Sweder Wrote:Paula Radcliff? I'm a big fan, not least because I know how tough it is to run as hard as you can for so long (whatever your ability). But hasn't Paula actually under achieved? Her marathon wins are impresive but her track record remains comparatively poor. There's a sorry tale of reasons and factors that stopped her from winning, not least in major meetings, but surely the true greats (like Armstrong) simply brush those aside to scoop the gold?

I chose Paula Ratcliffe solely on the basis of that 2:15 wondertime and
I'm not sure if there are many UK males who'd beat that at the moment. Try doing a marathon distance in 2:15 on a bike and it'll really drum home the immensity of the record. She also owns 4 of the top 5 fastest women's marathon times in history.

I still need 3 more for a top ten...

And MLCM's obsession with cricket is starting to worry me...
