Koolwabbit Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Just heard , break dancing and skateboarding are coming to the olympics . Why not fishing ? A large lake with just three fish, a Goldfish , a Silver bream and a Bronze tench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finny Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 May not be in our circles but Break Dancing has been around since the 80's it was then and now even more now is massive around the world . One thinks there is a need to freshen things up and appeal to a younger generation And to be honest I would sooner watch that than waiting to see a float bob under the water Finny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Try walking across the dance floor in stilettos after a couple of glasses of wine, you soon learn how to break dance at Olympic level x 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Olympic sports, snooker is another one that’s missing. They could play it like the old Pot Black show that used to be on the tv. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I did wear stilettos occasionally in my younger years. I even dressed up now and again (ably assisted by a Nain (Gran) who was a professional seamstress and a Mam who was just as good). Vogue Pattern magazine was essential reading. Not now though! Working for the OU in a Faculty where dress down is the norm, and now lockdown has turned me into a complete dress down mess. I suppose I should just congratulate myself I don’t wear pyjamas all day, having seen a young women visit our local Sainsburys recently in pyjamas and dressing gown. What!!? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the other long distance run sports lobbied against. I would have thought cross country would be a lot more scenic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought cross country would be a lot more scenic. I can't see it, cross country running forms a big part of distance run training but who knows. It's certainly more scenic than a skate park though Hope you and the family are doing well Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea14Ian Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Really is about time,cricket and squash are in the Olympics.I dont consider break dancing as a sport. Clever yes,just like my love of Ball room dancing. Very good and certainly need to be fit,but not a sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
