Sly Ronnie 886 Posted Wednesday at 22:38 3 hours ago, time said: BBC athletics commentator and former Olympian Paul Dickenson reported dead aged 74. That's sad news indeed. Will always remember his commentary for Mike Powell's famous breaking of Bob Beamon's World Long Jump record in 1991. And of course Jonathan Edward's amazing WR. RIP.
