IDK what one she is in the pic but none of those women are "fat." In fact, they look to be in excellent shape and take care very well of themselves. I bet even in better shape than the a*****e who call her fat.

Which one is she in the pic?



She's the one with "Ennis" written in the middle of her vest,between Harper and Carruthers (just joshing ya. ).

What I think happened is that an offical may have said that she was not too fat, just might have too much weight. The offical could have meant muscle, been that does not have the same level of newsworthiness, like "Offical says she has too much muscle" so the papers put it that he said she was too fat and could fill lots of space with this!



I dunno. I mean look at the other two women in the picture. They look more muscular and in general their muscles are more defined.

We don't know as the offical has not been named. Probably just a made up story to drum up publicity/support for the home gal.



Hmmmmm.... possible, but UK Athletics, and British sports administrators are pretty good at making asses of themselves just before major championships.

I remember back in 1995, the RFU dropped Will Carling, the England Rugby captain less than a month before the start of the world cup because he described the RFU as "57 old farts in blazers". It took a player's strike to get Carling re-instated.

British sport is littered with such gaffes by its administrators.

I can't say whether the quote about Jess was true or not, but I think the allegation is entirely credible.

I later noticed they had writing on their shirts and assumed it was their names but I could not make it out.
