I am definitely with cashmoney on this, i amvery glad she has finaly won a gold medal however, Kelli Holmes joining all time greatest list doesn't seat well with me.

To answer the question, yes i think she'll profit from her win, specialy with so much rubbishathletes Great Britiain has tooffer.Most ofthe medals GBwon camefrom water sports, like sailing (BORING), and in my opinion should not be an olympics sport.

What abunch of losers can't even make the final of anything,how shameful is it to seat in your loser ass and watchother athletes like Merlene Ottey and Frankie Fredricksconsistently perform well even at theirage.

Well well well

So she DID do it!!

yep

for some reason I was surprised ! but that was a good race!

Funny i was actually cheering her on! Kelli all time greatest. lmao

Ohhh my God Englandrelay teamwin Gold!!!

I guess the sun does shine on the dogs a** sometimes!!

Congratulatons Kelly...sounds like a nice girl...hardwork paid off.

@N*E*R*D why the confused3insanity isn't it obvious that someone would be curious by just looking at the above whom you cheering.... it was not accusing just asking

are you surprised!! help us.

well..after reading todays mirror all she needs to now is find her daddy and buld an proper crib back in JA for her BLACK family..infact I was wondering how come when BBC showed her family I never saw her BLACK family wouldnt it be nice if both races enjoy her success? especially blacks of course unless she identify herself more with whiteys

as far as sponsorships are concerned do you think if she were white she would get more money?well like the GREAT WHITE LOOSER?

@Coltrane...

Are you always on a downer? Sort yourself out .....

Geoff

most defo@ coltronae, the fact that she is black means that we wont get too much noise in the papers which Is why i am happoer then if radcliffe won

The way she was draping in the flag makes me believe that she probs has no real black ties. She was brought by her white mum and was in army for ten years so I wouldnt hold out much hope for her in that respect. Quality athlete though.Even the GB Relay team didnt do that and they were huge underdogs for the gold

@ Cashmoney : Black athletes & da British flag..Try as l might 2 und'stand da relief/joy/pleasure of winning l dont like 2 see them drape that ting over themselves, it has 2 much racial connections 2 it & l 4, 1 would never if l was in dat position will/would parade myself around like that..

An English flag would be a bit easier 2 handle but l know l would still have reservations..Da relay team DID parade with nuff British flags, maybe u switched channels or sumting, but hell yeh they had dat UnionJack up all over themselves..

@ Cake : Merlene Ottey left Jamaica only due 2 politics & no other reason, its not about poaching in her case & l think she is now married 2 a Sloveian now so she has choosen 2 represent them..

@ Facetygal : You said sumting like "Everyone wraps themselves in their flag,as peeps may not know where there from"..blkwonderIts a global event & on the scoreboards etc spectators will know where they're from..

@ All : Kelly Holmes is black, dont care how light or dark she is, she nah look white to me..Ryan Giggs is black but he look white intit life..As black peeps we have a vast contrasting range of colour from very light (red) thru 2 very dark (jet black) as l have heard, so black she black, seen..

As 4 her earning potential, yeh it will go up a great deal & why not she has been a good athlete over da years & if it wasn't 4 injuries she would be up there as a "True Great"..However lets see now if she can capture that great prize which seems 2 elude black peeps, unless (a) your a loser or (b) no real competition, what is it BBC SportsPercy of da Year Awards..

clp)@ wotsits good post

When referring to the flag I was talking abiuyt when they were on the podium, kelly holmes was draped in the flag from head to toe when receiving the gold, whilst the brits didnt carry a flag on the podium

I wrote a few days ago....
"I'm sure she will benefit and so will U if U back her now b4 the price disappears b4 your very eyes to win the Sportsview Personality Of The Year.....the only other runner is Matthew Pinsent.....sh's hot favourite.......Put down £1 now...Win only £1 I'm afraid.....but win it...she will !!"

Hope U took the hint.........Now she's won the other Gold......U will now have to place £5 on her to win that same pound !!......Time I did some trading methinks.... and even that's "stealing" the money......absolute certainty....! Trust Me.

@ Cashmoney : Oops ok seen point taken bout da flag reference..Trust a black peep always try'n 2 pop style..

@ Cockneybouy : Geeza gotcha mate, l'm on dat 1 son..But metinks l'll put on more dan a knicker like..Maybe a benner niceone.gif
