Just seen an interview with him, says he was going to qualify (not sure about that), they can appeal but the team bosses haven't done so yet so maybe they think he's in the wrong.rina said:
spot on, like father like son. definitely his fault imo, went for a gap that wasn't there and got a nudge. if someone tried that on me in a race they'd get an elbow just like he gotOff_it said:Typical Mills. Causes trouble, all his fault, tries to blame someone else and gives it the big un.
Watched him in a 1500 race earlier in the week and again he's gets badly positioned and has to try and barge people out the way.0 -

It was the Dutch who let him out after a year. However, you have to ask why he got only four years.blackpool72 said:

Remember that system around '96? Think it was unique to the games. My kids asked me today how it was scored and I genuinely couldn't answer.rina said:am I imagining it or was the boxing previously scored based on number of scoring punches were landed? i've got it in my head that if 2 out of 3 judges pressed their button at the same time then it scored, most punches landed won1 - Sponsored links:

I believe there was a sniper in place with rubber bullets and he made the maximum 6 hits including 4 in a couple of seconds with the knock on affect in George Mills heat.
The sniper was employed by the Olympic committee to liven up the 5000m which can be boring in the heats.
No one was hurt other than ego's of the Athletes.0 -
GB Giles, Pattison and Burgin all ran well with intelligence to qualify from the 1st heats of the 800m.0

I was just driving and listened to Alison Curbishley (no relation?) explaining why Mills had no chance in getting his place back, how the frenchman didn't have any choice, and there was no fault and therefore they wouldn't consider his appeal, when Katherine Merry had to interrupt her to say that Mills had just been reinstated.5

Matthew Richardson can always say he was a world record holder, even if it was only for 10 minutes

On Wednesday, French media outlet Europe 1 reported that an Australian hockey player had allegedly been caught trying to purchase cocaine in the French capital.
It was reported that the athlete had been taken into custody by police.
Now, the Australian Olympic Committee has confirmed the reports and revealed the player in question was men’s team player Tom Craig, 28, skynews.com.aureports.

Yes it caught a few out, Steve Cram didn't seem to think he had much chance of being advanced either, and blamed everyone for jogging round too slowly until near the end.Hal1x said:I was just driving and listened to Alison Curbishley (no relation?) explaining why Mills had no chance in getting his place back, how the frenchman didn't have any choice, and there was no fault and therefore they wouldn't consider his appeal, when Katherine Merry had to interrupt her to say that Mills had just been reinstated.

It looked windy and typical that GB Beckett was up to 2nd place when the stop flag was hoisted.
