The Keirin race is some insane stuff. I haven't a clue what I'm watching but the guy on the |Derny-bike never wins |

The long distance athletics events, which I love. Plus some boxing maybe, plus anything that features sexy young ladies in tight fitting gear.

I'll never forget the time the Irish guy turned up for The Kearin and thought he'd won because that was his name

Absolutely. Hope everything goes well for her roger.
Personally, I will be glued to the track and field and the swimming, less so to the boxing and I might watch the odd football match if there's a player I like playing. As usual I suspect the whole thing will be spoiled by my obsessional hatred of bad punditry and the BBC's outrageous partisanship. Finally, I look forward to some amusing examples of Brazilian maladministration. I found it quite disappointing that London was almost seamlessly put together when I had imagined it would be a carnival of official ineptitude. We need another Norbert Sudhaus or something like that, although the hosts will not be looking for another Cornelius Horan.  |

and so is Aaron Cook ... for ..... Moldova
Had to Wiki this as I never heard of him, turns out he is British born yet declared for the Isle of Man when he didn't get picked for GB team and now has declared for Moldovia, for the Rio Olymipics. Thats the type of thing that has taken the gloss of the Olympics for me, it going on wholesale in all countries now. |

Funny stickyvicky, I think the flags of convenience are a good thing. For much the same reason I am totally opposed to a blanket ban on athletes from any given nation.
The Olympics are not meant to be about nationalities - de Coubertin loathed the idea that a Nation should claim credit for the brilliance of the individual, and he woul surely loathe the idea that one's nationality should debar one from participation in the Olympic Games. I think de Coubertin would have approved of drug use in Athletics - citius, altius, fortius. Ben Johnson would have been realising his dream, not tainting it. |
