Me, no interest in boxing, far rather watch some cricket.

Cricket is the most boring sport in the world , golf is the same, luckily there are many more things to watch with the olympics , always something else on the go

Rather watch cricket than fucking basketball, in fact, i'd rather watch Utd than basketball

How about the rags playing basketball?

 

[jazzy]

How can they drop boxing and who wants fucking cricket in it?

Well as cricket is the 2nd most popular sport on the planet I would think many do , boxing no idea why I don't watch it personally but maybe its down to the medical profession who have tried to have it stopped for years

Hope it’s in test format, although they’d probably have to start the group games next week.

T20 unfortunately

It had to be really. It’s gaining traction around the world and probably has more countries playing it than the rugby 7s.

Surprised something like 9 ball pool isn’t being considered too.

Then e-sports in 2032!

Surprised that Ultimate frisbee or frisbee golf haven't been mentioned for inclusion for 2028.

Best GB moment is either Tom Pidcock or Alex Yee's golds. Keely's gold was also phenomenal. Toby Roberts as well.

Georgia Bell's bronze was fantastic, Josh Kerr was brilliant and agonisingly close.

I'm torn between Yee and Pidcock for the best moment.

Couldn’t agree more with your final point - Yee and Pidcock were remarkable. At a time when the rascists were ugly the racers were beautiful. There is hope for the human race yet.
