Fighting Talk

The Road To Beijing I think Michelle Dillon's going to be remember more for out triathlon tactics that that sixth place.

Here she is again in a BBC quote of the week article: "I thought I had a reasonable swim, the only thing was people were pulling my zipper down, obviously trying to pull me back, which is really disappointing. Luckily the zipper didn't come down and once I got onto the bike I was OK, but I just didn't have the energy to go through and do the work. If I find out who it was, I'll get them."

Fighting words. Meanwhile The Hendon and Finchley Times looks at the Olympics from the perspective of their local athletics club Shaftesbury Barnet home of Abi Oyepitan.
