I wonder what happens if a landlocked country wants to host the Olympics, and they don't have a history of colonizing small, tropical islands. How would Kazakhstan ever host the surfing event?

Yeah I did wonder, maybe build an indoor wave pool? I remember the one that used to be in Blackburn nearly drown a few people.

Weather is the biggest factor as well, I remember the waves in Japan were crap, so not always a landlocked country problem.

We were discussing which of our Islands around the world we would use, maybe there are some spots around our cost. I reckoned somewhere like Bermuda or BVI but they both have separate olympic teams so not sure how that works.

They're sorted for 2028 anyway as they'll probably use Hawaii.

Could have Fencing athletes but no info. The Tennis and Judo times aren't bang on, as one is weather dependent and the info on the other isn't great.

I will add, here's the general schedule for non-GB athletes:
I know Simone Biles is on today.

Just updated to include the general link for those that aren't aware it exists. Simone Biles is on today.

Should hopefully get our first gold today. Peaty hopefully but a surprise before that would be nice.

Brilliant! Thanks.
 
Women's team didn't do well in the Archery, can't get away with shooting 8's in the Olympics.
