[crodonilson]

With all this excitement over Dina Asher Smith and Katatiba Johnson Thompson’s heroics at the Workd Champiknship a young British girl had been forgotten about.

Step forward Sophie McKinna, proof you don’t need a double barrelled name andfirst British lady to reach the shot put final since 1983.

That's the one, she has a lovely, smooth, easy on the eye technique. Our greatest female shot-putter in 40 years.

She reminds me of the lead singer of Bad Manners.

Can't see it personally.

She was spotted shot putting at the Norfolk county show throwing a shot which could qualify her for the World Championships. As there wasn't an accredited judge there, she was invited to take part in an athletics meeting.
Her first international competition and she qualified for the final.

More than the majority of us have ever achieved, but she's a large lady, so therefore game for ridicule by overweight middle aged men on a football forum.

It’s not though is it.
She’s effectively an amateur in a professional world and instead of giving credit where it’s duo we take the piss because she overweight, something not uncommon amongst shot putters though through new training regimes this is changing. Maybe with funding she could benefit.

if you really want to look to be offended, you could actually argue that took I the piss because she was both overweight, and ugly.

The actually reason behind my post was probably neither. But it's not worth going into.

My wife and I were discussing this while watching the brief moments they showed of this competition. Some of the competitors are plainly just fat, others were relatively lithe and muscular. Does the extra weight (mass) actually assist with the momentum and propulsion.

This is a genuine question for anybody in the know.
