  1. Hockey in India was historically a sport of English-style elite schools, like in rugby or indeed hockey in Argentina.
  2. Catching up with this….if anyone can lip-read Czech they’d be complaining about what Marketa Davidova said after her first shoot.
  3. Live swimming from Edinburgh this weekend, fortunately not outdoors. Field looks like it’s mainly University-based, but that includes a lot of nations. Early chance for Comms & European QTs. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCISRIjZR0Dn8Ps7FHIw6IQg
  4. And that’s appropriate because ‘s Para-curling results are also starting to look like the women’s curling results at the Olympics. Currently 7-3 down to unbeaten .
  5. That’s Otepaeae, according to the IBU spelling!
  6. Sorry to disappoint but honkbal is just baseball, not yet another hyper-marginal Dutch sport.
  7. Mutiny in the Curling Team! The three other players & coach have deposed the lady skip & the ex-Tsarina is now refusing to participate in team time-outs etc. Currently 7-1 down against , going out of the competition & will give up as soon as they can. out, play for medals!
  8. I guess it’s the same as drug testing: the more often you compete the more likely you are to be tested & retested. If you just parachute in at the majors & disappear again it’s going to look fishy.
  9. Would you believe exactly the same thing happened in 1914? “Hey we’ll just send all our troop movements over the radio in Russian: no way will the Germans be able to understand them!”
  10. Can you get to Channel 4 Sport’s Youtube Channel? https://www.youtube.com/c/Channel4Sport
  11. Usually in these commercial meets the judges find an equipment fault when the superstar’s lane number comes up.
  12. Alpine Combined so much more exciting when you do it properly - ie the slalom leg is run from the slowest to the fastest.
  13. More on that. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-10581663/Russian-gymnast-causes-outrage-wearing-national-WAR-symbol-shirt.html
  14. Probably on huge bonuses for an NR.
  15. Pogačar keeping it boring.
  16. Don’t know if this link will be geo-blocked outside the UK, but a little VPN craftsmanship might help. https://www.youtube.com/c/Channel4Sport
  17. Great win for Lotte Kopecky in the Strade Bianche - takes something to beat the Dutch once they’ve set their minds in a race.
  18. Must have been the caption, it’s been corrected. No doubt about Chloe Chevalier missing 4 though.
  19. Problems with the graphics today - has Hanna Oeberg really missed 5?
  20. Jess Diggins is not racing in Oslo today, so that’s decided. Johaug off on a solo run, determined not to repeat her previous mistake.
  21. I did like Kilde’s reaction when Mayer beat him. Usually skiers put on a “hey, it’s cool “ face, but Kilde was effing & blinding* *Old fashioned English expression meaning “Swearing a whole lot”
  22. Australian cricket legend Shane Warne at age 52, just the day after the death of another legend Rodney Marsh. Some of the balls Warne bowled utterly defied the laws of physics. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10577963/Cricket-legend-Shane-Warne-died-aged-52-massive-heart-attack.html#comments
  23. In another hammer blow to Russian morale, WWE pro Wrestling is forbidding its shows to be transmitted on PPV to the Russian market. So, it's going to be like living in Stalin's time, when the Red Army Choir was the only form of entertainment allowed.
  24. & banned from weightlifting. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10576349/International-Weightlifting-Federation-bans-athletes-Russia-Belarus-participation.html
  25. Adds three - Katherine Johnson-Thompson & Holly Mills in the Pentathlon. Think the Pent was a bit short, so WA rounded people up. Charlie Da'Vall Grice in the 800m, courtesy of Elliot Giles's win in Madrid.
