I had to laugh out loud while watching the Olympics last night. Sally McLellan had just run a wonderful semi-final in the Womens 100m Hurdles to make the final and she was clearly over the moon. Naturally Channel 7 were there to shove a microphone under her out of breath nose demanding that she talk rather than recover from her efforts.
It was Pat Welsh doing the interviewing and he seems armed with an endless supply of dumbass questions that he is equally capable at trotting out at the athletics as he is at the golf. At some point, wouldn’t you think these guys would pause for a minute, work out some insightful questions and use them rather than the dross they appear to be happy chucking at our athletes?
When Pat asked McLellan “Did you realise you’re the first Australian to make the final in the 100m hurdles since Glynnis Nunn?” she came back with “I don’t care about that, I’m in the final now.” Ka-pow, take that dickhead.
Why the fuck would Sally McLelland care who made an Olympic final more than 20 years ago when she was celebrating the biggest moment of her sporting career. Good on her for her response to a dim-witted question. Are we going to have to take out an AVO to keep these idiot reporters away from our sporting stars?
