They may be able to build the swimming pools but there will be no chance of filling them with the coming hosepipe bans

What will be the first (of many) TV programs to show a clip of the 2005 Olympic draw followed by the (yawn) 1966 World Cup final. The digital
nightmare come true it could be shown on 2000 channels at the same time.

Why? what do you do?
Solo synchronised swimmer perhaps?
I do Savate kickboxing and as well as being a qualified instructor I'm in the British team and competed at the World Championships in Bulgaria
last year.
Although no-one in this country has heard of it, 30,000 people do it in France. The French government's Savate minister (yes, it's big
enough there to have it's own minister- I know him quite well) had got it agreed that if Paris won the bid then it would be a demonstration
sport at 2012.
If it was popular then it could well have become a proper Olympic sport (it's practised on 5 continents). Ok, so by then I'll probably be
too old to fight but I'll probably have my own club by then so could be coaching.
As you can imagine- a bit disappointed.

So James, if you make the team you'll be declining then
Each country is allowed to add a couple of new sports. France would have added Savate as one of their 'demo' sports. Somehow I can't
see Britain putting it forward as one of ours.
I mean, we've got other good things such as Binge Drinking as our national sports! Much more fun...
Cheers,
James
You're right I haven't heard of it!
well you have some time to start lobbying for it to be included here - try writing to Lord Coe - you never know!
Cheers

Just thought, do we really want to popularise something that the Frenchies might be good at and possibly beat us at?

What a frightful bore. I secretly hoped Russia would win the bid so we wouldn't hear too much about it all.
The French really are a pathetic bunch. They couldn't wipe their own 4rses in the two world wars and can't even win one out of three
Olympic bids.
I wouldn't be surprised if they blew up their end of the chunnel out of spite.
Cheers, Rorty.
