Tough call. Different but both amazingly talented ladies.

I wouldn't, nothing against her, but having read the post from Dave Lloyd I don't want to read more of the same. Too many posts on the Testers board, that smack of gratuitous self promotion and that his role as coach is far more pivotal than the athletes ability.

Houvenagel to get gold, Romero to get so annoyed that she takes three laps out of the field in the points.

The only problem with Houvenaghel is that she's an ex-Crab... She did leave early, though, so she gets some credit for that. And she was a dentist, so she inflicted a lot of pain on a lot of the useless light blue twots...

Yep, the Senior Service is the only respectable one to be in and Crabs are the worst Wink Cool

Wendy because she has had a lot of bad luck (as has Rebecca in the lead up to the Olympics) but Becs has had her world title, now the Olympic one for Wendy would share things out. Becs after all has had her exposure -- almost crashed when I saw a bilboard of her naked round the corner of where I live ... Laughing
