To my great surprise, the articles about yesterday's 100m Women's Hurdles race at the World Track and Field competitions had only just been posted, and already there were more than 40 comments posted along with them.
As I took a moment to scan through some of them, I noticed that there was a wide range of bouquets and brick bats all being slung into cyberspace. Some of the phrasing was absolutely unbelievable, but then again, when there's a comment section open (such as there is on this blog), I suppose the writers have to be prepared for almost anything.
In a rare response to the criticisms, Randy Starkman posted a rebuttal in his own Olympic blog which might either add more fuel to the fire, or quell some of the growing storm. In any case, it will all become more grist for the mill, and makes for interesting reading for the rest of us.
