  1. Canoe Slalom mainstay David Florence retires after 21 years in the National team. 3 Olympic Silver, 3 WC Gold.
  2. Here in the West, many people think women can have penises. Nobody, in the history of the world, going back to the days if the cro-magnons, has ever believed anything as crazy ad that. Yet here in , I can go to jail for denying it.
  3. They always say they’re giving marks “for good defense”. It’s crazy, in what other martial art do you get marks for defense? If you don’t defend yourself, you end up on your back, that’s how you tell if someone’s defending.
  4. This is hilariously out of touch, given that The WNBA exists as a tax write-off, it always runs at a loss. Their relentlessly Marxist take on everything bar their own convenience. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10810339/Fly-commercial-said-Breanna-Stewart-slams-WNBAs-refusal-use-chartered-flights.html#comments
  5. Just a bump for this - resumes again this weekend with Olympic distance men’s & women’s & para races in Yokohama. . Early hours of Saturday morning Euro time. Men’s preview. https://www.triathlon.org/news/article/stacked_wtcs_yokohama_sets_up_mouthwatering_year_opener_and_wide_open_2022 Women’s preview. https://www.triathlon.org/news/article/flora_duffy_ready_to_restart_pursuit_of_historic_4th_world_title_in_yokoham
  6. Timings, info. Lots of nations skipping, or sending B teams. https://www.tissottiming.com/2022/ncii
  7. As in every year, people suddenly wake up & start thinking, "Hey, what bloody channel is the Diamond League on in {insert name of your country} this year?" Here's the list. https://www.worldathletics.org/competitions/diamond-league/news/how-follow-watch-diamond-league-2022 is YouTube streaming, btw.
  8. Preview of the main match-ups in Doha. https://worldathletics.org/competitions/diamond-league/news/ooredoo-doha-meeting-duplantis-barshim-miller-uibo
  9. Adam Peaty out of the Budapest Worlds, still hopes to do the Commonwealths. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/swimming/61407383
  10. Programme & provisional fields published for Doha on Friday. https://doha.diamondleague.com/programme-results-doha/
  11. Were you the guy wearing the Borat mankini?
  12. It’s a safety measure. If they don’t all get the same time, then all the main contendors would be fighting to get to the front. However, let’s say it takes 15 seconds for 150 riders to cross the line & there is then a 2-second gap to Rider 151. He then gets a time 17 seconds behind the others!
  13. Thomas Bach (Olympic Champion, Fencing, 1976) shows he’s a more of a desk man than a fencer these days. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/othersports/article-10792299/Moment-International-Olympic-Committee-boss-takes-heavy-tumble.html
  14. There are grass markets in cities all over the world. It is where you buy & sell live cows, horses etc. So yeah, 18th Century probably.
  15. Well, that’s what I like about the Kenyans, they keep trying in events even where they have no history. And sometimes they turn up athletes like Yego & Omanyala, so it works out.
  16. I live here! My flat is the one with the dirty windows. But it’s paid for!
  17. Stadium goes crazy as Omanyala wins the 100m! 9.85!
  18. Injured! Celebrating the new spelling of their name by beefing up their middle distance running squad with some transfers. Luckily, no name changes.
  19. Injured! Celebrating the new spelling of their name by beefing up their middle distance running squad with some transfers. Luckily, no name changes.
  20. How many sports in the world are there where & are the two main contenders?
  21. Grand Tour Cycling is not about one prize: there are maybe 30-40 different prizes in a three week race.
  22. Two good televised (or streamed) meets this weekend from Nairobi & Tokyo, but lots of complications about what’s on where. https://www.worldathletics.org/competitions/world-athletics-continental-tour/news/how-follow-watch-continental-tour-gold-2022
  23. Also known for finding the best-looking women in any crowd, even nuns.
  24. Feel sorry for the athletes, but this is just hopeless. Should have tried to rearrange at least a few sports months ago, but didn’t want to annoy .
  25. Phillipe Gilbert turns the clock back on the third stage of the six stages of the Four Days of Dunkirk - wins a typical climbing sprint.
