Check out my new google map showing British sporting acheivements across the globe. It’s just a bit of fun, but I thought it would be interesting to see just how far-flung our sportsmen and women are all year round, not just during major events. More additions will follow soon.

Chambers best in class
Posted by cjhall31 on February 3, 2009
Dwain Chambers – he of failed drug test and attempted NFL/rugby league crossover fame – is getting back in his groove on the indoor track. At the Birmingham games he posted a personal best of 6.52 seconds for the 60 metres. Looks like he will be gunning for the chicken-nugget scoffing, comically quick Usain Bolt at the World Championships in August.
His secret? Chambers described his approach to races thus: “It’s like a dog that doesn’t get fed very often,” he said. “When I get my Pedigree Chum, I am shoving it down. I am a man that’s hungry. When I get the opportunity, I go.”
UK athletics were not available for comment on whether this training diet was orthodox behaviour for a sprinter. Hopefully running around all whacked on scooby snacks will bring home a gold.
