I was amazed when I read that Break dancing will be in the Olympics in three years time - Paris 2024!

One holiday in Paris we watched a skateboard high jump competition. Good night but how long before that gets in?
I’ve really enjoyed the climbing competitions. 3 disciplines: speed climb, bouldering and lead climb. All technically different and result decided by multiplying your 3 finish positions together.

Just watched the Jason Kenny record breaking race in the Keirin.

Wow, he absolutely obliterated a world class field. Truly stunning.
