Gold Coast AUS 26Jun09

Well, Berlin is a wrap and Penny Gillies took the toughest decision in dropping her own athlete, Milburn, from the 4x400 final lineup who went on to win a memorable bronze medal. By the way, I gather it was Aths Aussie head coach Eric Hollingsworth who appointed Penny as 4x400m coach. The only say she had in it was the right to decline. So well done the coaches and their team. Hopefully Milburn received a medal for assisting in the prelims, but not sure of the IAAF policy these days.
