Golf should never be in the Olympics but Fleetwood doing us proud. Right in the mix.
Dont mind it being there, its about TV revenue, but with the explosion of golf around the globe, it should be a teams competition for leading amateurs... I can watch McIlroy Scheffler and co and day any week...

Just think the Olympics should be the pinnacle of the sports represented.
 
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.
Agreed (well, except the last few words).
Don't think it's been mentioned on here - Bronze medal for local girl Lottie Fry (from Cranny).
 
GB’s Amber Rutter takes silver in the Women’s Skeet Shooting after the judges ruled she missed in the shoot out, despite clearly hitting it.

Imagine all that work for someone to steal it from you at the last second, really unlucky but a great effort nonetheless.
Yeah, no replays, no var, nothing, other than a judge saying she missed. Even the crowd chanted that she had hit it. Very gracious in defeat .

That was the most ridiculous decision. Skeet shooting needs VAR.
