Negative Sporting Reporting

I was very disappointed, but not surprised to see the way Indoor Athletics Championships was covered last weekend. Despite a gold and four silver medals being won across the board, including two new British records, the focus was firmly on the return to medal winning form by Dwain Chambers.

It has been no secret that selecting him was an unpopular choice - so why not brush his performance under the carpet in favour of Phillips Idowu who won gold with a new British record or 24 year old Jeanette Kwakye who also broke a British record?

With the rugby, football and cricket disappointments this year maybe it is time we sports fans took a leaf out of Colin Jacksons book - Positive Mental Attitude - and look to the positives happening in the sport rather than this continual doom and gloom!
