SPR Aug 2022 8:53pm, 20 Aug 2022 38,033 posts	0 SPR Good bronze for the women's 400 relay there. Can see what Jodie was trying to do as they needed a decent lead to have chance for gold but she ran out of legs at about 350.

Surrey Phil Aug 2022 6:51pm, 21 Aug 2022 8,449 posts	0 Surrey Phil My thoughts too. I genuinely thought Wightman was going to take him in the home straight.

Have they benefited from their not being 2 or 3 Russians in each event, or is there something else going on (thinking like how lottery money has helped British sport?)
