I was motivated to go watch the surfing in French Tahiti.

Was offered various tickets by colleagues and partners but they all involved going to Paris, bad enough when I HAVE to do that for work. That said, I must admit I do harbour some small regret for not taking the women’s volleyball tickets offered.

I hope there will be no pointless demonstrations. They achieve nothing.

Not as keen to see the Olympics as I was many years ago. Highlights over the decades are:-

Bob Braithwaite - Trap Shooting Gold Mexico

Richard Fosbury - High Jump Mexico Olympics - obviously nothing like it had been seen before.

Dave Wottle - 800m Munich - never seen a better race. He was absolute last at the bell.

Charlie Greene - 100m Mexico  - injured in the final and only got bronze. Up to that point, his rivalry with Jim Hines was brilliant. He looked super cool running in shades.

Chris Finnegan - Middleweight Boxing Mexico.

Mary Peters - Pentathlon Munich.

Jason Kenny, Laura Trott and Chris Hoy - Cycling.

Steve Redgrave - Rowing.

Multibillion euro glorified school sports day for the thick kids who sat at the back of the class.

I just can’t take athletics in general, and track & field in particular, seriously. Do they do Olympics for French vocab too? Medals for woodwork?

It’s almost, but not quite, as unbearable as football.

Still, chacun à son goût and all that.
