Wow, Gold in the climbing thing.

Looked like certain silver until the Japanese kid fell off.

Kudos to @AmDismal for letting them use his back garden too, looks bigger than I remember.

Having managed somehow to get the family to turn off social media and news notifications, as we’re watching on delay, the spoiler comes from a forum I no longer visit and a thread that I don’t subscribe to :rofl::rofl::rofl:

But Toby is great. He was the age band above Bruno, but we always saw him crush everything and were glad he wasn’t in the same comp! Claire has a soft spot for him as he’s so lovely, apparently. I think she’d let him use her climbing wall any time.

Played in church halls and leisure centres all over the country

No
Go to a clay shoot on a Sunday morning in a field near you and you will find a wide range of people.
Did you hear the accent of our silver medal winner?

Game shooting is very different though!

Have to say I’ve never met anyone who has played water polo or handball

You have met me!
Although I have never played handball. I think there are quite a few Olympic Sports that are not really played to a decent level in the UK, handball being one of them.

Water Polo match outdoors in Salford Keys yesterday afternoon. Ladies had just finished, one team had a large trophy, blokes were going at it while we passed. Good crowd supporting.

Seems it is a thing

So in a little while this will start spinning and the weapons will appear, the athletes will be told only one tribute will leave the stadium alive……

Has Eric Cantana written the script for this spectacle of dysentry, or am I just unappreciative.
