I'm still watching the Olympics - this year, Britain's success has made it a tad more interesting than usual.
However, I'm struck by how very odd some of - nay, MANY of - our (the world) athletes are looking. It's a bit of a freak show.
I hate to say, but Michael Phelps is positively mis-shapen. Fantastic athlete he may be, but he just looks bizarre, all arms with a tiny head.
Our runners are becoming pockets of muscles on legs; or skinned whippets if they go distances.
And why is the sprinting considered 'the blue riband' events? Cycling/hurdling/running/swimming - the 'sprint' is the elite sport? Why? Why should someone being able to run fast for 10 seconds be more honoured, more respected, than someone who can run for 30 laps and then sprint finish?
Sports people. Frankly, who needs them?
