  • Agree nolly. She seems a really nice young lady. Her interview directly after her gold medal win was a joy. Nice looking lass too.

    Always seems to have a genuine smile on her face. And decent boxing skills, Her combination punches were so accurate.
  • She comes across as a bubbly person with an endearing character, down to earth and proud to represent her country, well done Nicola!

    She is one of the many athletes who have put a grin on my face for their pure happiness and joy, I would include Laura Trott and her team pursuit colleagues

    Why? Do you approve of mens boxing? These women are passionate about their sport, and some are technically very good fighters. If they choose to do this with free will then I really can't see any difference from men doing it, as with all sports.

    I'm sure the athletes in question couldn't give a monkeys if someone "approves" of them or not.
    Congratulations to Adams, I think I might take up boxing myself. Great cardio.
    Anyone know where I can get hold of some creatine? :p

    Dan I understand your view it is that of a gentleman and I know you are talking from experience.

    Can't really imagine dating a girl with black eyes, broken nose and cuts to the face but I have met a few that fit that description.

    she was a nice girl but a pain in the arse to listen to when Lineker interviewed the other day. all she kept saying was " yer you know"

    Not "definitely"? Sick of hearing that word.

    Aw, come on chaps. She's an amateur boxer from Leeds. She's not been on all the "media training" courses that our footballlera go through, so so what if she doesn't quite have the vocabulary to express herself.

    She came across as happy, humble and proud. That'll do for me.
