Andy Murray

I think for me, one of the joys of winning a gold medal at the Olympics would be the opportunity to be all subversive and sing the wrong words under my breath.  God save our gracious queen, give her a jelly bean... was one of my brother's favourites when we were nippers.  Teehee!

Hats off to Murray.  Two finals in one day, the lad done good.

.... Looking at his GF he is punching above his weight though.

 

"....and what is it about dull, unattractive, multi-millionaire Andy Murray that you find attractive?"

Haha, I can only imagine the headlines "MEDALLIST JELLY BEAN SLUR ON QUEEN"

Would be hilarious though

Yeah, you know someone who lip-reads would grass them up!

Slightly convoluted praise of Mo - but I think we know what his sentiment was regardless of whether you like him or not.  Wouldn't have thought 79s is out of the question with fresh legs for a rep or two.

Get you Murray interval workout here :

79s Also ran? I think most people on here could comfortable do 79s for a rep or 2

the debate was 57s....and it was clear he meant that was his flat out one.

57 isn't exactly hanging around...so I'd doubt hugely that all full time pros could do it.

I know a guy who could "Only" do 60 for 400, yet got his 10k time down to 31mins so things aren;t always straight forward.

I undersatnd Murray is very fond of Fry's chocolate cream, which makes him ok in my book!

Mo Farah is awesome and that is all!

Stevie I agree things are never straightforward, but a Pro athlete should easily knock out a 57 sec quick lap, reps of course hugely different, personally though at age 50 I struggle to get under 70 when I'm fresh, after that for reps you can swap my sports watch for a sundial, but I could do a sub 60 up to the age of 40, yet my best 10k ever is still over 47 mins,

Nick - not that I'm accusing you of porkies or anything (perish the thought) and we all know the prediction tables can be nonsense....but...just plugged a 400m 60 sec into the formulae on the running for fitness website. It predicts a 34 minute 10k....something doesn't add up

Prediction tables my a**e, plug in my 11.1 sec 100 metre run, see where that takes you, and I've never been anywhere near a 6 minute mile either, but I still maintain a pro athlete should do less than a minute

I have met his mum and she is such a lovely helpful person.She was at the local tennis courts and literaly spent hours chatting to kids,parents and coaches about all things sport!

It seemed obvious to me that Andy was praising Mo very highly indeed.In Mo and Andy we have two fine sportsmen and two worthy Gold medalists.

Hands up people who think that Olympic Gold Medal winner Andy Murray is rubbish at his sport?

Gee, what a churlish conversation. At what must be the highlight of his career, Murray gives an impromptu doff of the hat to another competitor in a different discipline, communicating that he was in awe of the other person's achievements. Using a bunch of unprepared words.

So he is a bit dour at other times. So what. He can be if he wants. None of us live his life. Some of us might be able to run 400m faster but none of us can player tennis better. Please don't ape tabloid reactionary responses which are vile, stupid and hypocritical.
