I can't get my head around anything that requires judges giving points for artistic impression being called a sport, as good as Simone Biles was on the floor I would stop gymnastics, diving, synchronised swimming and dressage as Olympic sports, or add ballet, creative writing, stand up comedy and a bake off, also get rid of half the swimming events. Add 5 a side football, softball and 20/20 cricket
Softball/baseball has been added for Tokyo in 4 years time......along with surfing!!! Think the Aussies may be in with a chance there
Jade Jones fantastic,back to back Golds. Bolt does it again,8 Golds and simply supreme. What is the sport going to do without him,unique,charismatic and dynamic.Big shout for Gemilli,4th in the same time as the guy in 3rd. Heartbreaking for him,but he can be very proud of his effort !
It is interesting that the ticketing scandal has a Championship element to it. One of the guys wanted in connection with the ticketing agency is the owner of Ipswich Town, Marcus Evans. The Brazilian Police have issued a warrant for his arrest. They are also looking to arrest a couple of guys associated with St Patricks Athletic over here. Murky stuff.
British bloke, Aaron Cook, who took represents Moldova at taekwondo because he didn't feel he could get into the GB squad, knocked out in first round. So he was right, even though he is ranked 2 in the world.
Paralympics to be scaled down, they've blown the money on the main games. All the money the Olympic movement has made and squandered as well as those who've lined their own pockets and it's the least able who suffer. Shameful...
Cook gave upon GB after has was overlooked for selection in 2012 despite being ranked world number one. The bloke that took his place in 2012, Lutalo Muhammad, wound up with bronze. He is fighting in QFs shortly.
Bravo 58 year old Nick Skelton gold in the show jumping. Right If I get in training now I can get one myself in Tokyo. Just need to choose a sport. One that doesn't involve much effort or practice. Or expense.
Horses are too big, I might fall off. Which events involve dog walking? Inverdale with Anthony Joshua at the boxing. I hope tonight is the night he gets punched by his expert partner.
I hear they're considering bringing in Jousting, we'll just glue you to your horse and you're nailed on for Gold...
Jolly hockey sticks, our girls certainly put our footballers to shame on the National Anthem. A great tournament whether they win or lose...
