  1. I see there has been some complaints about a drone flying over the arena. I wonder if it's anything to do with that? Christopher Wahler had a problem with this. “But then he spooked at something when I tried to get in trot after entering the arena – there was a drone flying up there and I don’t know if it was that or something else, I have no idea, but for some reason I didn’t get the trot
  2. In the UK 7 minutes advertising per hour. Of course the BBC has famously never played a paid advert in its 70 years of history
  3. Men's Javelin You have to go for Zelezny... Men's Featherweight Boxing This may seem like an odd choice but I go for the 1908 champion Gunn. He has an astonishing story. He was so dominant in the 1890s that the English governing body asked him to retire so that other boxers could have a chance at winning things. So he retires for 12 years then, at 37 when most boxers are long past their best, he makes a comeback especially for the Olympic Games and he wins the gold quite easily Men's Flyweight Boxing Perez of is one of the all-time greats of boxing Men's Wrestling - Freestyle Bantamweight Not a sport I know a lot of about but it seems Beloglazov would have been a 3 time champion if the Soviets had gone to LA Men's Wrestling - Freestyle Bantamweight I'm not qualified to make a choice
  4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_symbol#:~:text=Indian lotus.,the national flower of India.&text=Right hand with its palm side facing front. "In 1957, a more unfortunate candidate had a chicken for his symbol. The would-be politician brought a chicken to the voting booth where the unfortunate bird fell prey to local vultures. Hence, the Sanmarg article concludes, the candidate lost: “why would the people vote for somebody who is not even able to protect the chicken?”"
  5. But surely you know how smooth Brexit has been for the UK...
  6. A useless piece of trivia here. Ben Llewellin is the son of David Llewellin who used to race in the World Rally Championship

  17. If you're old enough to remember the rock group Thin Lizzy, you may realize why she has the nickname Dim Lizzy....

  19. The lake they used for rowing in 1984 no longer suitable, correct?
  20. I'd say Coe is the best leader World Athletics has had in over 40 years. That may sound like I'm praising him, but to be honest, if you had put a potato on the end of a stick, smeared it with dog muck and set fire to it, you'd have a more appealing president that Nebiolo or Diack who preceded him.
