Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.

Going back to the Ennis debate as I was out when it was in full swing... I think she does deserve the accolades she is getting. She is a multi eventer which is challenging enough as it is but she also set 3 PB's in her 7 events and her shot and 800m performances were very close to bests as well but not only that...
She is a multi eventer that set a time good enough to give her Gold if it were ran at the last Olympics as a solo event. Her performace was outstanding in its own right, even if others have achieved great things tooFootball without Origi is nothing

GB Top of the medals table in Boxing, Road Cycling, Track Cycling, Equestrian, Rowing, Triathlon, and second in the medal table for tennis and 3rd in the sailing medal table but most medals overall. We rocked in so many sports. I think for me that it what has made it such a fantastic Olympics.
Comparative stats
USA - 104 medals, 21 sports, 60 of the medals in Swimming and Athletics alone. 7 sports where only 1 medal was won
China - 87 medals, 20 sports, 4 sports with only 1 medal
GB - 65 medals, 19 sports, 4 sports with only 1 medal
If we could get a real good quality swimming and athletics program going then we would be serious challengers for 1st of second on the medal table.
