Paula Talks

The Guardian this morning leads its Olympics marathon story with pending medical test on why Paula Radcliffe gave up as soon as she fell into fourth. They push her key quote to the bottom of the second column: "They were tough conditions but they were tough for everyone. You have to train to cope with that. I'd done that. The conditions were tough, but I didn't finish the race dehydrated or in any sort of distress form the heat."

It looks like the paper is more eager to make excuses for her than she is.
