In answer to the question "I thought I could...but actually I can't even get close". Surprised the likes of Backley and Whitbread didn't

Remember Whitbread famously crying into her trainer's arms after having the gold snatched away with virtually the final throw of the contest...

That actually happened to Whitbread in the 1983 Worlds but she did win that title in 1987. Backley gained five medals in Olympics/Worlds (four silvers).

Good quiz, although Allan Wells has 2 Ls in Allan (and Wells).

Philips Idowu did win a medal. Check your facts

I would think, okonheim, if you're going to be so rude you would have checked YOUR facts. Idowu has only ever won silver at the Olympics, although he did win a World Championship gold. Perhaps you found reading the question a bit tricky?
