Can avoid it no longer!  The Olympics, after all, have taken over our television screens completely have they not?

Do you remember the old days?  When just about anybody could enter any of the events?  I always thought that the hurdles would do nicely for me once I discovered that you could just knock them all down on your way through (well, have you seen the height of the blooming things?).  Of course they have now decided that doing this would disqualify you automatically which would defeat the object somewhat.

Anyone out there have ideas on what event they would like to enter if they could?  Now that they have introduced qualifying times and the such-like it obviously makes for quicker heats etc but where has all the fun gone?

ANYWAY, am so pleased that GB are doing so well when they were tipped to fail miserably.  We are, after all, only a small country so any medals we win mean that much more!
