The Swedish bloke Armand Duplantis who won the pole vault might literally need a new, taller support building, the bar was right at the top and he cleared it by a good two or three inches. Smashed the world record while looking like he could have been doing his crossword puzzle as he sailed over the bar.

One of those athletes who doesn't operate on the same plane of existence as anyone else.

In recent years, it seems that the words Boxing and Contoversy go together without any effort, in The Olympics.

The governance of the Sport is in a mess, the refereeing standards, at the Olympics at least, seem to be appaling.
That the Sport has been dropped from the Olympics in Los Angeles, is sad, but probably the right thing.
