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!

Extend that to all interviews immediately after a sporting event - they're hot and sweaty, let them go take a shower and order their thoughts before having to respond to what are usually rather inane questions.

Are they encouraged to do it for the photo shoot?

If the they’ve done what it takes to win a medal, to my mind they could spread butter and marmalade on it if they choose to.

It’s their hard won medal and I’m happy for them to do with it what they like. 🏅

Yes, it's the photographers asking, for some reason.

It's important to keep everyone, particularly any kinda watching, know that the medals are not made from chocolate.
