Legion Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 yeh...Wasn't Paula Radcliff involved in the marathon too? I thought the difreence between a Pro and an Am was that Pro's made it their career "them that gets paid" as some idiot I used to know used to say. and I thought the Olympics was only open to Amatuers ? Please excuse my sporting ignorance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I think that all changed a while back - because I remember the Basketball Team a few yrs ago being all pro - and they won the gold. Michael Jordan and crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
