At the Huntsman yesterday, I was telling anybody who would listen [including anybody listening to Galway Bay FM!] that 9 men would be in the 200m final.

We watched the second semi to see in Pauls time of 20:38 would be quicker than the 5th place runner in that semi.

As it turn out it wasn't.

But just to prove that I wasn't completely making it up.
