So what ?

[boxtops]

I don't understand why he should be involved? Many previous medallists have, but not all of them.

Perhaps he's one of the legions of folk who would claw out their own eyes rather than spend a moment in Sebastian Coe's company.

[factor-fiction]

Maybe he is commentating for the CBC (Canada) again as he has done since 1992

[Ric.ror]

Mosaic I feel that about seb Coe politically but I can't argue a great job has been done

[Mosaic]

Ditto ric, but employing brilliant showmen doesn't make up for his politics.

[Maydup]

Maybe he's not cut out for TV presenting - its not for everyone. And if he lives in Oz, then he's obviously left GB behind already.

[excelsior-1]

he may have been covering the event in a studio in australia - for australian tv.

or he may have been invited over here -- but declined.

[Sqad]

I gather that he has been working for Australian TV.......so perhaps that was his priority.
