I know. I don't think the current rules are particularly fair.

It's okay if you're Princess Anne though (Only female athlete not tested at the Montreal Olympics apparently)

She wasn't doing a sport that would benefit from you being manly anyway.

We also saw the nadir of the Games last night, the women's high jump won with 1m 97 by a 37 year old Spaniard, a height beaten by even heptathlon athletes including our own KJT. Maybe she should enter the high jump in Tokyo 2020?

I don't understand why some don't enter, especially in sports where we don't have anyone in, or only one.

2 of the heptathletes would have got a medals

Why on earth didn't the heptathletes enter both?

Watching team rhythmic gymnastics - it's like watching 5 Knockhaerts playing football at the same time

The Kenny household finished this Olympics in 19th place.

Just behind Cuba but ahead of New Zealand.

It does make you wonder. Do you win Olympic boxing by hold your gloves in front of your head and then throw the odd punch?

As I said I'm not an expert.

Unbelievablely shit decision. He battered the French guy. Would love to have seen the result if there'd been another couple of rounds as despite his showboating he was f#cked from the body shots.
