Natalie came 16th out of 24 swimmers in the 10km swim at the Olympics yesterday. Only 1 minute 22.2 seconds behind the winner.
Imagine being the person responsible for knocking Natalie off her scooter in 2001. The accident itself is dreadful enough; but imagine having it rubbed in every day: in the newspapers, on the radio and television.
As far as I’m aware, the name of the driver of the vehicle has not been disclosed. I’m sure it would be quite easy to find out; but for once, the media have shown some respect.
Let’s hope it stays that way.
