lesbiassparrowWith apologies for those who are enjoying the Olympics and enjoying success but I don't really like the Olympics which may or may not have a lot to do with:
a) the Irish don't really win at them except for Michelle Smith and we all know how that ended
b) the Olympic committee sounds like the skeeviest bunch of people ever
c) lots of other boring reasons
The only thing I'm really following is the gymnastics age thing, which is mainly having the effect of making me and more revolted at a sport where you peak at 14 and thereafter it's all downhill. It used to be one of the few Olympics sports I watched too.
I had a friend who suggested that all Olympic events should be allowed based on this one test: their ability to help you escape from wolves or Nazis. That would conveniently get rid of artistic 'sports' like synchronized swimming but allow events like the sprint.
