Disadvantages None.
...Going for Gold, and achieving it! Hearty congratulations to Jonathan Edwards on his truly magnificent achievement of the Gold Medal in the Olympic Games in Sydney.
Whilst many of the pundits forecast glory for Jonathan, I was somewhat dubious, as he often just misses out on the ultimate glory of winning a major prize. This time, however, he reaped his just desserts with a triple jump which beat the rest of the World's best.
He always comes accross as a very quiet, unassuming, very religeous person, who truly represents the very best of good old-fashioned character. It is therefore refreshing to see that the Good Guys do still win. He sets a shining example to the youth of today, and I for one am overjoyed with his success. Long may it continue!...

...I for one have been very impressed with the baility of jonathon edwards to just keep going year after year. I always placed doubts on whether he would reallly be able to make it at the top level, primarily as he refused to compete on sundays and so one may have thought that this religious preference would inhibit him when it cam to the world championships or teh olympics. However, following that unbelievable season in 1995 when he set the new world recordm, he has somewhat faltered. Maybe it is time that he retired ?...
