HappyHibby....I suspect you were always last at the school sports day...and this has left it's mark on you.
 I like the Olympics....if they can make a buck, so be it for all the years of training they have put in for little reward. |

Could someone please confirm to me that darts are included in this year's olympics?

stewarty, what about a Hamshanking competition? I reckon Monsewer Charnier would be odds on to win it.

That's humourus wee eck, but it still doesn't answer my question.

stewartyb, Dont think they would have Darts, the spectators of that so called sport are only there for the beer.

Darts is not in the olympics. I mentioned darts because i thought Hibby was a lover of it. Must have got him muddled up with someone else. Anyway, I've got no issue with people not being interested in the Olympics. I just don't understand why people are slagging it off. I love sport but have no interest in cricket but I don't go around moaning about it.
Hibby, I don't really understand why you expect the athletes to have no financial reward. They provide entertainment to people and don't get paid massive money anyway compared to many other sports. I don't recall seeing anyone interviewed saying they want to win for their country. However, as i said before the vast majority are in it to win medals/championships and to be the best. They need money to survive like the rest of us but it's not the motivation. |

The track cycling mens sprint will be easier to win than the world title, as either Chris Hoy or Jason Kenny will miss out. How many events across the Olympics will be devalued like this?

asparagus,I'm with you on this.If you've read through the whole thread you will have seen that I first saw Mo Farah race when he was about 13 and I'm sure that money was never his motivation in athletics.
On the down-side,I've always been against the expansion.I'll be watching nearly all of the athletics,most of the cycling and some of the swimming and a couple of football matches but have little interest in anything else. I was at the stadium on Monday for the final session of the University Champs.£5 to watch 21 finals,but I was more interested in seeing the Stadium than the actual athletics.I hope that you have a great time on your 2 visits.You will be amused to see the choreography which the track officials have to undertake when laying out and removing the lane numbers,starting blocks and hurdles. Do you mind me asking how much you paid for your tickets and do you know where you will be sitting? |
