Coach: “That was better”
Me: “Not better enough”
Coach: “Better than your English grammar”
Playing nicely for once
Liu Xiang of China. Former 2004 Olympic 110m Hurdle Gold Medal Winner. He has suffered from problems with his achilles tendon for some time which actually caused him to drop out of the 2008 Olympics.
At the start of the the event in London his Achilles became aggravated once again. He took a spill which took him out of the race and left him struggling on the ground. He eventual got up and hopped off the field refusing a wheelchair. As he began his exit through the stadium tunnel he had a change of heart and turned back. Determined to finish what he started he returned to the track, limping the remainder of the 110m race. As he crossed the finish line he was greeted and helped by fellow athletes. This is what the Olympics are about!

Hurdles are making a name for themselves on the local music scene in Belfast and with gigs lined up in Dublin, they could be going much further forward. Here is the new video for their track Paper Soldiers which is a smashin’ little tune. It is reminiscent of Athlete but don’t let that put you off, it’s much better than anything Athlete ever had to offer.
Let me introduce Country Tyrone band Hurdles who are playing in Belfast’s Stiff Kitten tonight. They are led by vocalist Niall Hanna with Fearghal Breslin on guitar, Eoin Bleeks on bass and Ross Haymes on drums. The band are one to watch out for and cite their major influences as The Strokes and Bloc Party. Let’s hope a bit of Bangor band Two Door Cinema Club’s success brushes off on the lads.
