5000m finalist Cragg blasts state of athletics in Ireland

Wednesday, 20 August 2008

Irish athletes Alistair Cragg and Thomas Chamney have blasted the state of athletics in Ireland.

Cragg has accused TV pundits Eamon Coughlan, Jerry Kiernan and Sonia O'Sullivan of not contributing directly to the sport.

The Johannesburg-born athlete is through to the Olympic 5000m finals, but he is not happy with the way the sport is treated in Ireland.

He said: "Look at the people who have experience and ask them how they can help. Because no-one's helping. They'd rather just comment."

• Gritty, moving and heroic...Billy plays captured life here

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ... Sunday's 30th anniversary screening of the seminal Too Late to Talk to Billy was riveting viewing. But it wasn't nostalgic viewing.

• Parties need better defence in Stormont's game of two halves

Surprise, surprise. Peter Robinson has been to his first gaelic match, Martin McGuinness is heading for Windsor Park and the Ulster Unionists have scored another own goal.

• Why trying to go on a diet is never really a piece of cake

Some people make New Year’s resolutions, I make lists. Every new year I determine to keep track of everything I spend and everything I eat and drink.

• Scary movie? Their jaws were sore from laughing

Teenage boys love horror films and I have two who are in charge of the remote control in our house, so naturally there’s gore-a-plenty on the box most weekends. However, until recently one film was banned.
