I'll take it if it means we shithouse our way up the medal table.
USA have been doing it for years with sports like basketball where 90% of the best players come from 1 country. China and Russia do it too.

Oh I agree, there's very little I won't watch at the Olympics, it's good for the soul to see sports that aren't normally available but, dressage just sucks the life out of me I'm afraid.I'll take it if it means we shithouse our way up the medal table.

While I'm replying to you, your daily schedule info is fantastic, mate.
Think they'll reintroduce that for Brisbane in 2032. Defending our title across 132 years, would be quite a statistic!There’s no novelty in ludicrous sports being in the Olympic Games -England are currently holders of the Cricket Gold Medal with the French Silver Medalists from 1900 -

Is it true there is more swimming at the Olympics than all the other sports combined? Certainly feels that way.

No but it does feel like it, certainly one of the sports that seems never-ending when I'm doing the schedule.
Sailing, Swimming, Cycling, Rowing and Athletics seem to be the sports with a shit load of events. Luckily we're decent at a few of them.

Ta. With the swimming it’s the plethora of relays, as well as 4 different strokes ffs!No but it does feel like it, certainly one of the sports that seems never-ending when I'm doing the schedule.

Handball is one of those sports that you think has the potential to be exciting but the reality of it is the majority of it is parked buses the likes of which even City don't come up against.
Great end to that match mind. Sticking with the city comparisions, the French are worse at what's the equivalent of a penalty than we are.

I'll let them off not showing the Women's 100m preliminaries (the bit for smaller nations before the actual heats) but when the proper track and field starts in 15mins I better be seeing athletics and not dancing horses (as brilliant animals as they are).

You may be lucky, maybe not. Personally, I’m gonna get a couple of hours kip in before Dina 4-4.30am.I'll let them off not showing the Women's 100m preliminaries (the bit for smaller nations before the actual heats) but when the proper track and field starts in 15mins I better be seeing athletics and not dancing horses (as brilliant animals as they are).
I’ll miss Keeley Hodgekinson in her 1st round 800m heat but I’m sure it’ll get shown many times after 4am onwards - see you a bit later :-)
