    If it was up to me, horses/animals wouldn't be in the Olympics any longer... Dated hobby almost entirely in the hands of the wealthy and not like the horses have a choice. The Paris Olympic committee could have made an animal rights stand, banned all show jumping and replaced the sport with competitive Gallic-shrugging, onion carrying and a drag queen contest.

    At least they're doing better than the Seoul 1988 Olympics, when they released a flock of doves during the opening ceremony (which had happened at every Olympics since 1920) and they flew straight into the Olympic flame cauldron and got fried. <peacedove>

    Fleetwood just taken the lead in the golf.
    Don't know if it's been mentioned already, but you can subscribe to Discovery+ for £3.99 a month and watch every event live, so I'm watching the golf on the big screen and got BBC coverage on various tv's around the house!
    With all the nonsense going on at the moment it's great to escape to Sport. Will have City on later too!

    You can get it for free with a VPN set to Australia then join 9Now with an Australian postcode (any one will do, they don’t check). Wall to wall Olympics golf if you want, and plenty of other Olympics live feeds too.

    Is Rebecca Adlington just a mad cat women who used to swim well as a kid, or am I missing something?


    She's an emotional wreck.

    Golf should never be in the Olympics but Fleetwood doing us proud. Right in the mix.
