I can't be w/you tourcontact. I can see their point. Chernova scored 57 points more than superstar Jessica Ennis PB. But she is russian. Demus time is third best ever. I'ok with the list.
Very surprised and can't agree. Taking the basis that the pre-88 may be a different league to current performances.
Abukomova still first. 2nd Pearson just, but still 2nd ahead of the Ms Adams
