    Worst Sport/Event in the 2024 Olympics - submissions

    Haha do they still do that? I remember watching a US Olympic trial years ago and because I was used to seeing distances in metres I had no idea whether distances being jumped were any good.

    Makes more sense for most Northern Irish athletes to represent Ireland anyway because most sport in Ireland is organised on an all-Ireland basis.

    There's no love lost between Clarke and the Rangers support, it's about as likely as Neil Lennon being appointed Rangers manager.

    Pretty much. Their college system gives them insane depth in most sports.

    I don't think Rochdale are bidding for the 2036 Games.

    Glasner absolutely does not have the CV to get the Liverpool job. Less said about your ridiculous Tuchel idea the better.

    Assuming you're referring to boxing, this is the main reason I struggle to get into the sport.

    I mean, there's quite a body of evidence which would suggest that a 'vegan-first mentality' would lead to an increase in performance, but ok. The pool being unusually shallow (most Olympic pools are 3m deep vs 2.25m in Paris) is probably the main factor behind the pool being slow.

    It's also not remotely the same thing.

    Not only do we get a treat for the ears with the Italian anthem getting another outing, but a treat for the eyes as well. Ceccon is dreamy.

    I think I just started a thread called the Scottish Football Thread to annoy you.

    Duncan Scott finishes 0.15 seconds behind the leader and doesn't even make the podium.

    Maybe they should have kept it up after 1948 and avoided the ****ing disaster that post-war town planning became.

    I suppose only being every 4 years as opposed to 2 years make an Olympic Gold in athletics more valuable because of it's comparative rarity. Someone like Bolt had 6 goes at the Worlds as opposed to 3 at the Olympics.

    Worst Sport/Event in the 2024 Olympics - submissions

    As for the 'non-pinnacle' argument...how many sports have the Olympics as the unarguable pinnacle of the sport? Even for sports like athletics and swimming, they have their own World Championships. I wonder if someone like Colin Jackson, who was a double world champion (and set a world record...

    Worst Sport/Event in the 2024 Olympics - submissions

    Possibly has something to do with it. Scotland could have represented GB at the 1996 games and I think there's been a couple of recent Games where England could have done the same, but I don't think I could bring myself to support an England U21 side that was basically re-branded for an Olympic...

    It's got nothing to do with versatility when it comes to track and field, sprinting, middle distance and long distance are so different that you can't train effectively for more than 1 discipline. Same with field events, they're all fairly specialist. The only one I can think of that has any...
