Will they ever address the ridiculous amount of swimming events?
Was arguing with the missus about this.
All that horeshit about some swimmer being the greatest Olympian when there's 3 strokes that are shitter than freestyle still in as separate events. Like, wtf even is "butterfly"?
If you're gonna do that shit, why not have fastest unicylcle over the Kilo, fastest backwards Kilo, fastest BMX kilo, fastest kilo done on a bike with a shopping basket full of beers, fastest e-bike kilo...and don't get my started on the stupid fucking horse dancing and rich knobheads in yachts.

rich knobheads in yachts
This is my major issue with the Olympics. Too much of it is devoted to sports which are (and always will be) the preserve of the wealthy.
For all the talk of legacy, did London 2012 inspire any kids around Stratford to start canoeing? I’d be happy to be proved wrong but I don’t reckon it did.
Its biggest legacy was to make loads of private developers even richer.

You have your eye on ‘Most Kilo’ I suppose.

I'm sure Usain Bolt would have appreciated the opportunity to win gold in the 100m and 60m skip.
I know it got inflated massively because of the cold war, but that's been over at least in name for 40 years.
