    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.

  • 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.
