Nah, I will bet that the Cross Country running events, if they ever happen, will be staged gratis for the public at low altitudes in Grenoble or Annecy city centre where there won't be much snow.

It's the big season-ending Championship day in the National Junior College Cross Country Running event. Teams are in place, Track is in perfect condition. And then, all of a sudden...... attacks!

And if you reverse that list you get a list of the countries with the BEST serial killers.

Things not clicking yet for Team Edin - just seen them give up a 5 on the 7th end to team McEwan . Long way to go yet, but the old air of perfection just not there.

No quotes from the opposing team, I notice.

I remember seeing it. Second-worst* game of football I ever saw, followed by the greatest-ever goalie in a penalty shoot-out. *Worst-ever was v in USA 94.

OK, not doping exactly..... A British canoeist has been banned for two years for posting "explicit" footage of himself on social media. A disciplinary panel found that Kurts Adams Rozentals brought the sport into "serious disrepute" when he uploaded a video of him performing what it called a "sexual act" on an aeroplane to his public Instagram account in March, and that this amounted to gross misconduct.

As I've said before, I was living in Brunei when his father abdicated & he took over. As mad tyrants go, he is just about the mildest. The national obsession with wushu is hardly in the class of or any of the Kims.

Speaking to BBC Sport, GB sprint coach and seven-time Olympic champion Sir Jason Kenny said: "We've missed out on some medals that we felt we could have been competitive for, but we've come away with a really good haul with some new medallists, so it's really exciting. "The fact that we were on the podium more than ever shows that we were competitive across the board, and it's really positive. "Next year's World Championships will go towards Olympic qualification so things will start getting really serious, and I think given the age profile of the team - and the fact that we are so competitive in so many events - is a really good place to start the Olympic journey."
