I'm at a bit of a strange point with this! Every day up and down the country, horses are whipped on the arse to make them run faster to win a race, flat or jumps. What this woman has done that is different is used a bigger whip.

Just to caveate this, I do not like to see any animal whipped, I just don't understand how she is so different to 100's of jockeys etc up and down the country.

Now Radcliffe all over the sports news, hope the media attention dies down before Monday 26th August (we only have a small press box)

Craziest opening ceremony ever? Or have I got a short memory?

Let's face it the Olympics has been an irrelevant load of shite ever since Jesse Owens shot Hitler up the ass in 1936.

Craziest opening ceremony ever? Or have I got a short memory? From what I saw of it, it was a bit like the Isle of Wight FerryCam but with more flags and fewer lorries.

Go on Flight Radar. There is a massive exclusion zone around Paris.

There's no fool like an old fool, eh?
After the continuing decline in Olympic Boxing judges' knowledge of boxing, culminating in that abysmal Rio tournament*, I vowed never to watch the Olympic boxing again.
I relented this time, as the boxing tournament has always been my favourite part of the Olympics and I missed watching it in Tokyo; what a numpty I am.
Having watched the first 3 days of the tournament, it would seem that boxing's rules have changed for this tournament, and the boxer who can contact their opponent's fist with their own face most often is deemed the winner.
Also, if a judge scores the contest level, they must award the bout to the boxer who was penalised the most for fouling.
I think a lot of these judges have been swimming in the Seine, their decisions are merde.
* - IIRC, all those judges were subsequently removed from Amateur Boxing's list of judges. They must have been ut back on it for this tournament

You're only jealous because you lost at the regional qualifying stage.

Stomping around pissed-up outside Radfords, at night, wearing only a rolled up towel to preserve your modesty, when there isn't even a game on, is not Sumo wrestling. Thinking about it, breakdancing might be your best bet. Roll on LA 2028.

Another potentially interesting and informative thread hijacked by the clique and their tedious in-jokes. It's about time Admin took a firmer line with these jokers.
