I believe that horse picked out those tunes himself. Bet living next to his stable is hell at 2.00 in the morning.

That's the whole fun of olympics, pricing up new sports you don't have a clue about.  Thankfully there's a load of others out there who are in the same boat so you can get some decent prices
