Re: Today Mark's a Historic First Time for a Black British Female
Congratulations are indeed in order.
Although it’s debatable whether it’s a “British sprint first” - depends whether you think of the 400m as a sprint discipline. Also not sure why you needed to remark on her skin colour.

It was the 200m. I think the point of the thread title was to make you think it was about Diana Abbot being the first black woman to take PM's questions.

MARKS - no apostrophe needed. Disappointed that a seasoned nitpicker like you would post something so shoddy.

I think slackers point is that if you count 400m as a sprint, then Christine Ohrogugu or however it’s spelt is the first.Story of O wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2019 8:48 amIt was the 200m.

You’re right about spens attempt at humour though.

Still not said why you had to say black, as it was the first sprint gold for a British woman, black or white.

Of course 400m is a sprint. In no way is it a middle distance event.RedO wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2019 9:21 amI think slackers point is that if you count 400m as a sprint, then Christine Ohrogugu or however it’s spelt is the first.Story of O wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2019 8:48 amIt was the 200m.

400m is officially classed as a sprint, so it is odd the the media is saying Dina is first British woman to win gold.
