Kicks off this week
Apparently we are going to do well in middle distances running (it is being talked about in Overt, Cram, Coe terms)
One new sport is kayak cross which looks like a laugh - 4 canoes launched down a course at the same time - mayhem
I’m looking forward to the ecoli sprint and synchronised vomiting in the Seine
I reckon I could be champion at that.

More likely he’s off them.
He can’t be expected to type properly, FFS. He’s got a bad knee.
Who was Les? And why did he have his own Olympics?

So why are team GB not in the football or the Men’s Rugby Sevens?
Cos they’re not very good / earn loads as professionals - I dunno 
The Rugby 7s were always the 5 Nations. Then the Olympics came round.
Then the IRB expanded.
So instead of England 7s winning (as we used to watch in Dubai) they needed to create Team GB.
Lots of fun getting players and staff and infrastructures
They were off the pace last summer in Krakow, and every tournament since have had qualifying spots but GB Men haven’t been good enough.
There was a final play off a few weeks ago Ladies in Krakow, Men in (I think Munich)
Ladies got through. Men didn’t
Football Men do not enter - Home Nations politics
Women - 4 home nations results were rated, highest rated were ranked in like a qualifying table, England needed to beat someone during Euros qualification I think - they lost - didn’t qualify
