I could honestly not bother if it disappeared altogether but when it starts I find myself being drawn into various events that pass me by for the 4 years between each glitzy showpiece. The French are breaking with tradition and holding the opening ceremony On the river Seine. On that basis alone I'm intending to tune in at 6:30. 👍 Last day and, as usual, I've watched, and mostly enjoyed, some flippin obscure (for me) sports over the last couple of weeks. Rowing, Diving, Shooting, Running, Sailing, Biking (on a round'ish hilly track) Throwing stuff, Jumping (high and long) Basketball, Bow and Arrow, Swimming, Tennis, Golf, Fighting, Skateboarding, Hockey, Canoeing (down a very rough man made river) Bouncing on a Trampoline. Currently watching something called an Omnium? No fecking idea what's going on, hunners of bikes on the track and if it wasn't for the commentator wouldn't know who was first or last.

shull Posted August 12 Author Report Share Posted August 12 All over for another four years. I enjoyed every day. Most sports are great. Two new ones for me that I really appreciated. Skateboarding and Taekwondo were superb. Golf is still shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted August 12 Author Report Share Posted August 12 Loved the cycling. Still can't fathom out why the dude on the fecking motorbike never won a race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
