Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

That's an interesting interview, thanks SPR. Not at all surprised by his training - apart from the fact he does mention blocks. All four jumps have a big element of translating horizontal speed to long and high jumping after all.

It was a good race, not being sure who'd win made it interesting.

On a sombre note. I'd missed this until a Ugandan friend sent me the link.
