I'm so proud of Ellen van langen I'm from Dutch descent and people said she was on drugs that's disrespectful just sour grapes in my opinion love Anthony Fed ex lol

[@FridayWeekend]

Lilia Nurutdinova, was looking up so much at the final meters that I think she looked so surprised when she saw Ellen de Lange in front of her crossing the finish line first.😲

[@mikenealon4042]

van langen = dave wottle?

[@user-ug1yh6me1f]

Nurutdinova made two mistakes in this race. Nurutdinova's first mistake was too fast on the first lap. Nurutdinova's second mistake was opening the inside in the final 100m.
This is what Nurutdinova lost to Ellen van Langen.

[@paulwhite2533]

van Langen looks like she's on spice!

[@Dynamics416]

[@ServingUptheT]

She has a similar jaw line to another flying Dutch woman, swimmer Inge be Bruijin.......not sure could be a common cause?

[@chukwuebukanwaneri1435]

Lol

[@kurtfrancis4621]

@@ServingUptheT Libelous if you are asserting that.

[@FlabbyTitmuss]

@@kurtfrancis4621 It would be libelous if it wasn't true. To be honest though, I think he's right on the money.
