Did you hear this hilarious joke I just came up with? The GAA stands for Grab All Association? Bet you've never heard that one before.

Can you imagine what gaelic football would be like in the Olympics. Sure now, RTÉ can use Joe Brolly (what a wally) and BBC have a crew from Northern Ireland but who would, say, CCTV or like Antiguan TV use? That would be banter.

The Aussies could have some of their Aussie Rules players on the commentary team or former GAA players like Tadhg Kenneally who made the transfer from Gaelic football to Australian football.

Yeah, but what about, say, Cypriot TV (before Eurosport). They would be in a bit of a hole. How many gaelic footballers have media training and know Greek?

 

Mind you, the UK would be fine. There are some great British players. And I'm sure they would be delighted to represent Team GB. From Antrim to Armagh, from Lisburn to Londonderry...

 

And the fine crop of lads coming through for London. We beat the Déise last year.

That's cool! So eventing cross-country course will be right beside rowing/canoeing lake. That should provide some lovely shots. :)

I suppose that some pre-qualifications in team sports will be the first to start, however, the first direct qualifiers will probably be the 2018 Shooting World Championships and World Equestrian Games.

    • Despite total domination by the Norwegian men (and yes, it's exhausting and boring), the accomplishments this weekend of Emil Iversen and Einar Hedegart are worth highlighting, despite them being Norwegian.    Iversen was dropped by the Norwegian national team after the opener in Beitostølen 2 weeks ago and was not taken to Ruka. Instead, he won both the 10k and 20k Interval Classic starts in Gålå in the Norwegian Cup last week, which granted him a spot on the start line in Trondheim. He took full advantage of that opportunity and finished on the podium in the skiathlon, and finished just off the podium in today's 10k Interval Freestyle. This definitely puts his name in serious contention for a spot on the Olympic team, which looked incredibly doubtful just a few days ago.    Einar Hedegart, the 24-year-old biathlete who decided to challenge the stereotype that biathletes are inferior skiers to their cross-country counterparts, just won the 10k Interval Start against all of Norway's best in a de facto Olympic trial.    Yes, it's exhausting seeing nothing but Norwegian flags on the men's side, but there can be excitement just beneath the surface at times.
