Shebeen Posted June 22, 2023 Share look this guy has a green number, he clearly knows Comrades. Just not sure if he is still an active runner. https://twitter.com/ComradesRace/status/1661672785897242625/photo/2 he hasn't done one in a while https://statistik.d-u-v.org/getresultperson.php?runner=585714 Edited June 22, 2023 by Shebeen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetplant Posted June 27, 2023 Share 3 hours ago, Shebeen said: the heavy hitters are onto it The timing from the CMA Twitter page is actually quite funny: 11 Jun: Runners: "Oi! Comrades Marathon Association! Something seemed REALLY odd with that last minute of the cutoff. Any idea what happened" CMA: .... Some days later: Running Mann: "Here are some stats and some basic questions. Care to discuss?" CMA: "Buzz off... no story here..." More days later: Running Mann: "Here are some even more stats and some questions. Care to discuss?" CMA: "Buzz off... no story here..." 16 days after Comrades marathon "Ring Ring, Ring Ring" CMA: "Hello" Derek Watts*: "Hi there, care to have some coffee with us while we discuss the 2023 Comrades?" CMA: GULP..."Sure" CMA: "GUYS, we need to get a Social media post out and get ahead of this story!" *Apologies for using Derek Watts in the example, I know he has taken time off to focus on his health, but he is the most recent presenter that everyone will recognise.

Previous project I worked on got covered on Carte Blanche, for the right reasons. It was dauting to have them there and for our team leader to tell our story. I can only imagine the pressure when it is a not-so-good story and the questions start flowing... Going to be fun to watch methinks.

TheoG Posted June 29, 2023 Share Those responses are simply ridiculous ! It was clear for the world to see they f'd up, no runners in the last few minutes, this is definitely the first and only comrades that this was the case.

Vetplant Posted June 29, 2023 Share I'm getting the feeling Rowyn did the math on the cutoff times himself and he tried to double down and defend them. Peer review on his calcs would have saved him some blushes, ag shem. peetwindhoek and TheoG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetplant Posted July 2, 2023 Share The Carte Blanche insert on the Comrades was a bit 'meh'. The posts from The Running Mann had way more substance and data. As for the preceding story, that Chane and Tyrone Venter seem like a real piece of work, yikes! Lexx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallende Vaandel Posted July 3, 2023 Share After suffering through 30mins of ads - so glad we don't watch dstv anymore - I had to wait for the presenters to sign off to make sure I hadn't missed the actual story... the coverage felt like an afterthought to pacify the running community. Where was the prompting and questioning we came to expect from Cart Blanche? The 'water under the bridge' comment was taken as a legit explanation, and the full extend of the blunders made still left as swept under the carpet. Lat night's coverage was just as anti climatic as the last minutes of the comrades itself Lexx and Vetplant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
