Quotes

"It would be nice to enjoy the Olympics without the horrors of testing and banning people and destroying good athletic careers, when, after all, there's no reason for it whatsoever because drug testing is logically wrong and morally wrong."
Escalate managing director, 19-year-old Faye Longridge, said, "We are honoured to be representing the UK and really excited about the chance to compete in Macedonia. The Young Enterprise Start-up Programme has been an amazing experience and we can't wait to see what the future holds."
"And the scoreboard was the actual one they will use. We saw Martin's name go upup onon it."
