Well done Tom Pidcock, I never watched a mountain bike race before but the skill, endurance and sheer athleticism was breathtaking. Isn’t funny that no matter how uninvolved you try to be when a GB competitor wins it gives you great pleasure. So congratulations to Tom Daley and his partner Lee at last a gold medal.
Floods in London, I lived there for 27 years and can’t remember having a flood, though it was over 40 years ago. I do remember snow so thick and heavy that it was as high as our front door and when i opened (I was 7 or 8) it completely covered me and made my mum laugh so much she coughed tea over the wallpaper.
I shan’t mention he who must not be named today there is only so much one can repeat each day about Mr Liar!
We are fascinated by the gymnastics and I rather enjoy handball. It brings into stark relief how much of our sports broadcasting is given over to the major sports when the only time you see these other disciplines is every four years at the Olympics? The women gymnasts are charming and unbelievably skilful but it is time they stopped wearing these ridiculous leotards. Well done to the Germans for their unitards which we thought looked rather elegant. Of course we should not be focusing on the apparel but the sexism in women’s sport is hard to avoid, probably it just our attitude that needs adjusting?
Stay well
