    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

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
