World Athletics is going to pay €50,000 to each gold medal winner in the athletics events at the Olympics. Extending the cash to silver and bronze in LA.

Interesting how other events are going to be affected by this.

I took a ride on the original bullet train back in the late 60s. My tour itinerary for the day included a ride on the "Kinky Nippon Railway". As a virile young man I was expecting something a bit "different". Still a fantastic ride from Tokyo to Kyoto.
ps. Kyoto was the old capital and Tokyo is an anagram.

Roman Emperor Caligula used to go swimming with young boys. The boys had been trained to swim between his thighs and nibble on his genitals. BBC4 is very informative.

If he tried that in Sale baths he'd be straight back to the changing rooms.
