All in all. Great session of Athletics and sport this was.

 

Buda really deserve to host the Olympics if you ask me.

Yeah, have always said that he would live to regret that day on 13th April 2021 when he skipped training & went to the movies instead.

Surfing *can* be held in a wave pool (and one of the world series stop uses such a venue). Different format and the purists hate it, but it can be done.

 

Alternatively I doubt the IOC would object if surfing was held outside of Hungary.

Great session and weekend for Hungarian athletics, we couldn't have asked for more. 

 

Undoubtedly the best sporting event that I experienced irl. Just a wonderful experience. I will watch the rest on TV.

That's a bit unfair when we gave the world Boris Johnson.
