It's part of street sport like skate boarding, bmx and breaking.

2 on 2 was featured in white men can't jump and
was popular in my younger days. I guess 3 on 3
became more popular.




Could play Wembley with 10 strikers trying to
notch past keeper in same goal, last one to score
is out, then start again.

Probably spent more time playing that as a kid
than any other sport.

I think I had the board game too.

The division 4 dice had a 5 on it so
was unbeatable, I think div 1 had 2 x 4s?

No Premier league or championship back then...

Architecture was also an Olympic event, as was literature, painting and sculpture.
Added to music... Which included conducting.

If these events were not up to scratch then judges
could award a poor winner as little as a bronze medal.

Walter Winans, won gold in shooting in 1908 and gold in sculpture in 1912

A great quiz question when telling the 1908 bit
and asking what he won in 1912,...
