...I did a complete doubletake when I read the healdline on the BBC athletics website announcing "Veteran Bannister wins GB place". I knew it couldn't really mean Roger, but the only other Bannister I could think of was the tubby bloke who works for Radio 5 Live...
I'd completely forgotten Dominic, who to me is a mere stripling; but veteran status comes at 35, and he's 37.
I love it when the "oldies" do well, and he won the Inter-Counties cross 12k last weekend in Nottingham,s o he's qualified for the World cross Country Team to go to Japan. Brillo!
