Olympic Spirit



We’ve been getting into the Olympic spirit what with our bell ringing at 8.12am on Friday, marathon viewing of the opening ceremony on Friday night, courtesy of Robin and Cathryn and a viewing fest yesterday.  So it was just as well that we took some fresh air today as, we’ve been glued to the TV all evening.  But what is this verbalising of nouns?  Since when has  “medal” become a verb?  I’ve heard two different commentators use it in the context of “X should medal in this event”.  As far as I’m concerned, the only “meddling” is with our language
