lots of things take skill, doesn’t stop them being utterly crap in every way imaginable

any sport involving horses firmly falls into this category, especially dancing horses.

the horses probably get treated like crap as well in order to get them to perform like this.

Aye, it takes skill for a husband to go shopping with their wife, but they don't get a medal for it even though it's far more deserving.

Most sports in the Olympics are crap tbh, hence why barely anyone plays or watches them outside of the Olympics.

Oddly enough though I don’t mind Winter Olympics, it has insane stuff like bobsleigh, luge etc which are dangerous as hell. Whilst some rich Tory is poncing about pulling dance moves on their horses infront of a crowd of yuppies the bobsleigh maniacs are going 100mph through an ice tunnel, inches from a potential crash and serious injury/death.
 
German DS in today's time trial with some encouragement for the rider Niklas Arndt, who was chasing an African rider - Faster! Catch the camel jockeys



It's Ok though as he's apologised and some of his best friends in cycling are North Africans.

The Biles withdrawal from the team competition is weird to me. It’s important to care for yourself at an individual level, but I also can’t understand someone doing that the day of, knowing their teammates would be hurt most. Interested to see if she participates in the individual events or if it’s bigger than just today.

Withdrawn from Individual now too!

It’s really bad. The word he used for jockey (Treiber) has some violent undertones.

The bloke I was working with was english…. Now I’m not for one instant saying all englishmen are the same but this fella was apoplectic when GBR were losing … why reference the Falkland conflict at all during a game of rugby ? He was a little bit too much.

All I can say is that I'm sorry you have to work with a nobhead mate. I've worked with a few too over the years.
 
I see Piers Morgan has gone after another high profile black woman in the media.

Markle, Williams, Osaka and now Biles

Who have we got next on our bingo cards ?

He goes after everyone to be honest, not just high profile black women.

Some people don’t half want a rise out of anything.
