He was a bobsleigh Olympian for Great Britain in 1976 and 1980.

    • Missed this earlier, but BBC has signed a deal to show games over the next four years.   https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cnv8qlgdnezo
    • Surprisingly the BBC gave this a breaking news notification from their Sport app. Unusual for someone who has been semi retired for a couple of years now. 
    • However it is illegal in some countries which the IOC is aware of, And which could cause issues particularly for those under 18.

    • sprinter Adam Gemili.  Never quite got the big Global medals as an individual runner, but always a key member of the 4x100m squad.  Had PBs of sub-10 for 100m and sub-20 for the 200m, which is very elite form indeed.     Adam Gemili: Former European champion sprinter retires - BBC Sport
    • A great loss for the Polish national team. Komenda is perhaps the weakest link in this currently superb team.
