Outside of athletes its not even the pinnacle of the sport.

Football, some weird under 23 rule
Boxing, Amateurs
Basketball, USA will win
Rugby 7s will just be like every other 7s T

still the pinnacle for hockey. probably the only sport I'll watch.

Re: The Olympics Thread

Iggles, I'm not your doctor nor your shrink so your health well-being really isn't my business, but for the sake of being friendly let me also advise that in addition to avoiding black Africans you might also want to avoid all bars in Canada.

Granted, I'm not interested in Hockey but I see the appeal.

Swimming - it's huge
Cycling - it's big news and ****ing complicated.
Athletics, track and field - as you said
Horse shit - if that floats your boat.
Rowing - definitely the biggest
Weightlifting - definitely the biggest
etc
etc

I guess you're either a fan of competitive sport, or not.
