Well done Paula and well done to all those thousands running for fun and to raise money for charity. What an advert for London's Olympic bid. Bob

Missed it! Just got in, so glad Paula is back on form. How did Tanni do? Lily

Brilliant result by Paula, three minutes in front of the second place person and five minutes in front of the third. Really in a class of her own. After Athens nobody would have blamed her if she'd come to the conclusion that she'd had her day, but she's pulled herself back to the top. Give the girl a gong!

I agree, it was good to see Paula back on top form. But I find it quite odd that, whilst thousands struggle to complete the course to raise money for charity, Paula's reward is around £500k.

Well done to all those men/women who participated in the wheelchair marathon - I so admire them and feel very humble All I've got to complain about is arthritis, nothing in comparison. Lily
