Tokyo 2020(1) - with spoilers

Halal Yafai pummelled his opponent into Australia and Tom Daley took time off from his knitting :yarn: bee to have a splash - wonder if he’ll hang up his Speedos - or does Paris beckon…

I thought Laura Muir did one of the runs of the games. It was super to see, she was so strong and it finally happened for her. To that I would add the girl in 10th in the marathon. Sinead Diver. From Ireland, competing for Australia. Less than 4 minutes behind the winner, when some were over 25 minutes behind. Why significant? She’s 44 years old!

Eddie Hearn presumably sniffing around

If you’re going down this route, you’re probably down the path of something like e-sports and piloting drones…

Well, for a start

-no Russian athletes should be competing.
If they are being talked about it should be repeatedly mentioned that they are cheating bastards and they shouldn’t be there.

  • there are a LOT of rumours around about the Italians and their ‘miraculous’ improvement in sprints.

  • On occasion GB is shit, I tend to not watch when this is the case so can’t provide a raft of examples but the some of the rowing is one. Why not call it out as a terrible performance instead of beating around the proverbial (verbal) bush

They really screwed themselves up with the sympathy for getting a bad horse, everyone was thinking, yeah it does seem a bit unfair that you might get a horse that can’t jump, but then they demonstrate that their ideas of getting a horse to do what you want is punching it, and people are now thinking, you know what, have these people ever seen a horse before?

Baseball FFS. When grown men are taking steroids to win at rounders you know things have gone too far.

But seriously hardly anyone plays baseball. Maybe Rugby league or hurling could get in soon?

Well it’s all nearly over now - autumn’s rolling in and the football juggernaut is awakening - to think another year of endless drivel and punditry from top buttoned w@nkers
