After 2 events KJT is in 1st place and Ennis 3rd, a reverse of their positions at the same point in 2012.

 

EDIT: I should add, this is more down to KJT improving than anything else. Jessica is only 7 points down on her 2012 total; Katarina is 118 points better than 2012.

And what's happened to Ian Thorpe I thought he was really good at the last Olympics and he actually talked sense, the Beeb really have dumbed down with their sporting coverage.

 

I've been watching it on red button every night and unless my brain is just filtering her mindless prattle out without me even realising, it's been completely Skelton-free.
