More other sports, less athletics.

Bizarre. Edit: it's just reappeared on BBC extra. V odd that no discovery+ feed of it though

Caddies don’t get medals. .. which is a bit of a shames. They’re a bit like the cox in rowing

Couldn't find a thread so thought I would start one.

Who else is off to watch or who is watching at home?

We're doing Lille and Paris and a mix of sports. Currently trying to find travel insurance that includes ticket cancellation as some of the trains in the UK might be difficult and we have some internal French trains to do as well.

Also need to work out the new Paris metro ticket/app combo (Navigo I think).
