    I'm over here working on the Commonwealth Games and had the privilege to be working on the Marathon today, I was absolutely stoked for her. Out and out champion, ran an incredible race. Bronze medals in her previous Commonwealth Games, today she struck gold!

    Great effort by Jess.  She's a champion!

    This is not having a go at you Redleg, but why do commentators use "medal" as a verb?  It's like saying that in the 2021 Grand Final,  Melbourne players flagged.  Or premiered  Or cupped.  :blink:

    With several of our footy commentators, that is the least of their problems.

    As you know Demonstone, language evolves and changes and it seems that this usage is now kosher.

     

    verb (medals, medalling, medalled; US medals, medaling, medaled) [no object] win a medal in a sporting event: they medalled in all the relay events. • [with object] decorate or honour with a medal: he was medalled by the Michigan Photographers' Association. 

    I took the above from the online Oxford provided in my Mac.

    I guess saying she "won" doesn't necessarily imply she received a medal.

     I quite like "flagged" and "cupped". 😄

    She's now reached 34 years old, this is a prime age for a lot of marathoners as it can take that long to build endurance over years of training. 

    Funny that Wikipedia says "Her brother is former Port Adelaide Football Club player Jack Trengove".

    How about ‘winningest’ as an acceptable adjective? I first heard it in reference to Phelps winning so many gold medals in the pool. But to me it sounds like a word a 4yo made up. Apparently it’s been in use since the ‘70s.

    I've never heard it before. Do you happen to know whether it is just in the US that it has been used since the 1970s or in other countries where, unlike Americans, they speak English properly?

    It’s in the OED. I saw it in the Merriam-Webster as well. But I’m sure it’s been in use since 1970s only in the U.S.

    I heard it used during the London Olympics but the commentators were American so that makes sense.

    Just came across this - Seems Jack can run too.

    2:35 in the Canberra Marathon- absolutely flying. 6th overall

    Wonder if he he has it in him... only 24 minutes faster for Olympic qualifying time

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
