My Take
I have a soft spot for runners who win on grit rather than physique, and Jenny Meadows is exactly that. At 152 cm she was perpetually the smaller body in an 800 m field, yet she stacked up a World Championship bronze, a World Indoor silver, European silver and a European Indoor gold. Those medals don't come from raw gift alone; they come from relentless cadence and refusal to be muscled out. There's a quiet romance in a Wigan girl climbing onto the world podium, and her career reminds me that determination still scales the heights that size supposedly forbids. I respect her enormously.
