It's a joke. So diluted now. The Olympics should be gymnastics & athletics only IMO.

Big sports like football already have massive competitions. No footballer takes the Olympics seriously. Look at Tennis. Already has 4 grand slams and yet it's at the Olympics. I'm so angry about it I'm gonna have a cup of tea!  |

Something like Squash would fit in well, mind... Is that meant to be a very subtle pun? ;D |

Squash would be good for competitors but at the speed the ball goes around the courts it can be hard for spectators to follow. Then again....it's more spectator-friendly than golf. |

I'm so angry about it I'm gonna have a cup of tea! Other countries take the Olympic football seriously and the age group competitions. England sadly do not hence the third string sent to Egypt. I cannot understand a tedious sport like golf being thrown in but its great for rugby sevens as it means Olympic committees and sports bodies across the globe will give more funds to develop their own rugby programmes. And it will elevate union into the second global sport. Would be fun to see the likes of Fiji Samoa playing but also other teams like Kenya and Russia can compete on a more level field. I hope they do not start going down the trendy road of introducing X-sports though. Shame squash did not get ahead of golf though. |
