      Sharap jobless man abi woman. Blessing is good, I mean super good! She did well all through the olympics till the finals were she had a muscle pull during the race. Infact she passed the olympic gold medalist like 1 month before olympics. All you do is seat down and castigate people.like you have a work. Rolls eyes
