Goldie eyes up Beijing Bronze

Upon IOC confirmation our Javelin star will win Olympic medal

Had things gone as they should, Goldie Sayers would have marked the winning of an Olympic bronze medal on the podium in the iconic Beijing Birds Nest.  Instead she marked it with a coffee with her mother at Waitrose in Newmarket.  It was supposed to be free, but she couldn't find her Waitrose card so had to pay, which mirrors the bigger picture quite nicely.sayers2-xlarge_trans++XAI13NdOqfkC5AL3Xcik1tWLHX9BXJwhO96TuAGoWuUAnyway, the silver medallist at Beijing, Mariya Abakumova, has had her blood sample from Beijing re-analysed and is one of 14 Russian athletes from those Games to have failed.If her B sample also fails, Goldie will be elevated to Bronze.We shall hold off on our celebrations for the moment, but this is looking promising.  Click here for a good piece on the story in today's Telegraph.
