    Highlights of the games

    Loved the finish of the women's marathon. For me, Raygun was a total cringe.

    ***Official 2024 Olympics Thread***

    I believe breaking is in the Olympics for the first and (thankfully) last time. I also think the team rhythmic gymnastics (5 or so contestants performing with hoops, ribbons, balls etc) belong in the Cirque de Soleil rather than the Olympics. Unless it fits the Olympic motto of "Faster...

    Gordon Greenidge (will need to be my 'any' pick). Was going to take Boycott but then looked at my other opener. Boycott/Lawry wouldn't be exciting cricket.

    Question on ban announcements

    I often wondered if he believed he really did all he claimed to have done.

    Invent a new Olympic event

    Three-legged swimming (like the running version but in the pool).

    If you trained for five years…

    They had chess in the Olympics at some stage.

    Draft Game - Fantasy Cricket 2024

    I've done a cut and paste so I (and others) can see overall results more readily. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Nwve5Bl33twXE7aV5T2VOPEcmfSfRUSj7ysZAWpvdes/edit?usp=sharing

    If you trained for five years…

    I may not be above ground in 5 years so I'll pass on the training and opt for 100 m sprint in the athletics. I'd feign a torn hamstring after a couple of strides and earn sympathy votes rather than the cringe associated with an embarrassing performance.

    Worst Sport/Event in the 2024 Olympics - submissions

    There have certainly been some "sports" which, thankfully, are no longer in the Olympics.

    ***Official 2024 Olympics Thread***

    I can't recall a Games where the news items coming out are so negative. Complaints about judging (boxing), village accommodation (no air con), controversial chair umpire over-rules (tennis), poor commentators (***ist and/or ill-informed), postponed triathalon (river too dirty) etc.
