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.

Maybe not in Stratford but there's loads in Nottingham at the canoe slalom there.

Dressage, actual horse shit. The rider doesn't even do anything.

The Olympics definitely does inspire in some cases (let's see how many Austrian females are in the Olympics in the next decade) but certainly it's a massive corrupt pile of bullshit too. The question about which one outweighs the other is too complex for my little brain to cope with right now.

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.
