Lol. Keely has a 1:55.77 this year, Mu 1:58..73. What hope does Mu have?

London, England, about 51.5 latitude north and surrounded by water. In summer, no hotter than San Francisco. In winter, due to being surrounded by water, no colder than Salem, Oregon. Good to great weather for 800m & 1500m athletes.

All England Tennis and Croquet Club and St. Andrews are two of the most sacred places of all sports. No venue in the US comes even close to them.

They were doing fine in 1941 before the U.S. entry and as Hitler was making his war-losing moves in the East. The main difference would likely have been the hammer and sickle over all of Europe by 1945 as the Trump tards of the era sat on their fat arses and dismissed it all as a "border dispute".

So do Americans have better teeth than Brits?
Actually, it seems the teeth of Brits are actually healthier than Americans’ teeth. According to the latest figures from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the average 12-year-old child in the UK has 0.7 missing or filled teeth. In comparison, the average 12-year-old American has 1.3 missing or filled teeth. The UK also fares better than other major countries, such as Australia where the average 12-year-old has 1.1 missing or decayed teeth.40 -
Also number of drug tests that Olympians slept through and then claimed they didn’t hear the doorbell ringing for an hour?

Yate twins, G Thomas, Pidcock, Geoghegan Hart, Cavendish...

probably in that case the testing person was a US agent and concocted a nefarious story because it is well known that all british people use door knockers, preferably brass, not doorbells. can you imagine walking up the cobbles to buckingham palace and ringing a doorbell? that just wouldn't do.

when was the last time a male American triathlete won a world championship in triathlon? I will help you out, it has never happened, they have never even made the top 3. UK has had 9 podium finishes. and on the female side, we have 4 champions to your 3. in a population that is 6? times smaller. 🤔 you can't give me any codswallop about it being a niche sport either, it's not croquet. swim bike and run, nothing more pure and indicative of overall sporting ability than that.
Bermuda with a population size of 63,000 people has more female gold medals in triathlon than the USA does 😐

Americans were stacking up Diamond League victories yesterday. Good thing for the Brits is they added that extra non-Diamond league m800 to give something for the home fans to shout about.
