Padders Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Got to admit I enjoyed Jessica Ennis winning gold at the 2016 (I think) games. Loved Eddie the Eagle competing in the winter Olympics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I love the Olympics, but my favourite bit is the running in circles and jumping into sandpit events, it's probably summat to do with my inner child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I will add that there is only so much city scale you can see without getting bored and there doesn't seem to be much concern for the health or safety of the athletes, particularly in the triathlon.

spilldig Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 12 hours ago, Padders said: Be honest on this one, I'm finding the Olympics utterly boring. The Tele is saturated with it, I love Snooker, football, Horse racing , Wimbledon etc. but the Olympics make Golf look exciting. I must explain that I don't much like athletics, running is fine when your late for a train, or when you were nine, but the concept of running in a circle for nothing but glory seems a bit medieval if you ask me.. Why do people want to watch a Kenyan man we've never heard of jump further into a sandpit than an American man we've also never heard of. Then we see German women with scrotums like tractors hurling hammers about the place. when an enormous Mrs Fritz hurls it into row G of the stadiums upper circle, does she think she is the beat hammer thrower in the world? or the best hammer thrower among those who've dedicated the past four years of their lives to throwing hammers, with the best will in the World, thats not a terribly big accolade.. Speaking of which, the Javelin. In the olden days when men ate bison and Mr. Smith had not yet met Mr. Wesson, I should imagine that a chap with an ability to chuck a spear over a great distance would have many wives, now it's just a gigantic Pole lobbing a stick. What I'm waiting for, with a bit of luck, is one of those triangular-torsoed diver boys to bash his head on the board. I'll be glad when it's over, lets get the football season underway and see some excitement. Or is it just me... No. It boars me to tears and the only thing I wanted to see was the surfing and it appears they couldn't be bothered with it. What gets me is the way that the BBC fawn over tennis and such whiles't saying nothing about other sports. A good example is one thing we watch, The Tour d'e France, which they never mention until that one where Bradley Wiggins started winning and all of a sudden they were all over it like the BBC had always been the sports biggest fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
