Hey chaps. :wackysmile:
I watched quite a lot of the 'Lympics and most of it was pretty good.
The opening ceremony was pretty lame imho, but the closing ceremony was a total snoozefest. :yawn:
Table tennis / ping pong used to be called "Wiff Waff" apparantly :uh-huh: and it's been in the Olympics for ages and so it should be. Unlike golf. :smirk:
I think the breakdancing was a one off. Thankfully, I don't think it's there for your games next time. I like that they are trying new things, for instance the climbing seems to have taken off. 8) And the BMX. Theres some blood for ya. Not sure about the surfing...
I have two major issues with these games. The first being the ages of some of the competitors. 11, yes, 11year old skateoarders, ridiculous! which brings me to the second issue of having a convicted paedophile running round. In case you didn't know, one of the Dutch beach volleyball pair. Convicted of raping a 12 year old girl. Is this really someone you want representing your country? :huh:
Paralympics coming.
BRING IT ON! :uh-huh:

Okay, I didn't qualify my initial post with...."I am admittedly and old school fart, so take my comments as you may, but..."
Regardless of whatever you criteria... break dancing is never going to cut it as an Olympic sport for me

similar to tennis, same net, different in/out of bounds lines, smaller rackets and bigger heavier ball
