Have you ever been to watch it live at a velodrome? Utterly bonkers levels of speed & skill.The climbing is pretty bonkers. I caught the womens speed and mens other type with all the out-hanging bits. Good fun.
PS The cycling has been consistently excellent, I've caught most of the track stuff over the last few days and really enjoyed it.

I notice breakdancing is included in the Paris games of 2024

Can’t wait.
I did a Master degree in the early '80's and one of my classmates was a NY graduate Cop. He had quite a lot of break dance moves, he had the physique of a gymnast and essentially it's a street version of gymnastics. It was rather astonishing what he could do.
It’s turning into a farce.I don’t think you are in with a chance of a medal.
Although I would pay money to see you have a go.
That, or Beatboxing.
Maaan I bet you could lay down some phat beats.

I’ve been once to Manchester Velodrome to watch the national champs, very good entertainment & excellent to watch them climb the banking. Never had a go myself but have a few pals who have; it is a bit nerve wracking at first but quite exhilarating once you get going.No, I’d quite like to sometime. I’d actually love to have a go, not in any way competitively for obvious reasons, just on my own to see what riding that sort of banking felt like.

Let’s see a return of tug of war.
Not had that since 1920.
Both my daughters ride and watched this. They both were saying a lot of it was down to the rider, fair enough the horse was obviously slightly spooked to begin with but the rider's reaction made it worse. She might already have had a problem with the horse because another competitor had issues with it in an earlier round. Horses are actually very sensitive to their rider's attitude/mood and if the human isn't able to inspire confidence then this is the result.
Every horse in the pool is a highly experienced show jumper and should be able to produce a decent performance, but as the saying goes, it takes two baby.
It’s frightening! Once you’re at speed and approach the bend it looks like a solid wall. Only done it once for the experience.No, I’d quite like to sometime.
