You are but our teams are getting larger as we become more competitive.

50-70 medals predicted by UK Sport.

Yeah, I guess.
I know in athletics for example, we had athletes who got the qualifying standard, but Team GB wouldn’t take them, apparently because the selection panel didn’t think they had top 6 potential. I don’t think all other countries apply the same thinking.

Masked person runs the length of the Seine to take the flame to the Eiffel Tower. Only for Nadal to take it back to the stadium.

That Zidane to Nadal handover will probably be an iconic moment. Best French footballer of all time handing it to the best clay court player of all time.

surely Andy Murray will be handed it next coz he doesn't support England lol

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Lighting show was Ok although a Pink Floyd gig would piss all over it.
