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!

Thanks 64 !!! I read the newspaper article about winning  the Women's Marathon but the name didn't click until I saw this thread.

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
