This is just friggin amazing. Say's a lot about what the

she lives and trains? You see all those French women
competing at the top level? Sad. France is so busy trying to
pretend that the glory of the past still applies that they
are sinking deeper and deeper.. Bill C

beating the best in the field. Look who got third.
