He is pretty cool.
Did you see the other British guy that managed to hit the bar, but balance it on top of the post?

no because generally we enter British people. Where are the anti Zola Budd gang now.
Kylies Stunt Arse
What?
I'm guessing he wasn't born in the UK then? It maybe that Zola Budd represented SA before she came over here, and her repatriation was rushed through so she could compete for the UK. That caused a storm, rightly, and meant that she was centre of attention. I doubt many people know anything about this bloke, or at least didn't before today.

How could she be repatriated if she was South African?
Kylies Stunt Arse
What?
Ok, repatriated is the wrong word, but she was able to apply for citizenship through a grandparent. In answer to your original point though, this caused a massive controversy because of apartheid. This bloke hasn't created a ripple until now.

You can add Judgey, Alan Lamb and even to an extent KP's relationship with England to be borne out of apartheid. They personally had very little if anything (even by proxy) to do with upholding the apartheid regime. Some very stupid people gave them a very hard time. This fella did not cause a ripple no, that is why I ask where the double standard merchants are now.

yes it was all very unseemly and embarrassing. As were some of the threatening protests aimed at a very young and naive young woman. What makes me laugh is the well done lad attitude to this bloke who has dropped his own country like a hot brick.
