She did well the liverpool lass. 1.89m was a personal best and better than the vastly more experienced Ennis' effort.

Although she's 6 foot and I think Jess Ennis is only 5'5, which no doubt helped!

I rest my case:

"Around 7% of children in the country are privately educated, but at the last Olympics one third of Team GB went to independent schools, nearly 40% of British medal winners, and 50% of gold medallists."

Baron Moynihan, old boy of the elite Monmouth school (est 1615) and Brasenose College Oxford?

Surely he's the man to smash the class-ridden rigged sporting system? :unsure:

Really? You're gonna go with this? I'm pretty sure there's more realistic reasons behind those stats than this cheap and easy, 'oh, lets blame the rich and privilidged for everything, it's all their fault'.

On a more pleasant note, GB killing it in the Team Dressage so far.
