  1. Thing is, you don’t have to respect him. He doesn’t much care I’d have thought. However, he will still become the U.S. president and others won’t be as fortunate as you … others will have to deal with him. He is about to become the most important world leader! Selective outrage is lamentable. But I’m honestly not surprised by anything I’ve read so far.
  2. Was there this level of outrage when the Chinese leader opened 2008 Games? I’ll wait.
  3. You might hate him. But he was democratically elected and seemingly has a plurality of the votes. As head of state he has the right to open these games! The end!
  4. bizarre. and if they do stay, it will only be for a short while. Parisians will not want the rings there when there is no purpose.... the games have ended.
  5. Totally disagree. Golf & Tennis have shone bright at recent Olympic Games. In terms of competition, the tennis final was exhileating.... and the worlds top players vied to be Olympic Champion - it meant something to them; something that is 'special' even; Also, it generates a lot of interest and tennis especially has established itself as a premier Olympic sport imo. Golf, less so. But this years competion was well attended and also had a close finish - which always generates more interest.
  6. Nawal El Moutawakel could actually be what the IOC needs. Others have highlighted her demographics; but her successful record in terms of sports administration and her desire to increase women’s participation are laudable. While she has undoubtedly faced challenges as a woman in sport, and in her home country, these experiences have largely been transformative. The IOC can do a lot worse than electing El Moutawakel their next president.
  7. Not sold on KC. Actually not at all. As for Coe being too old, I hear you. However he weirdly presents himself as being younger than he is … I hadn’t realised he was knocking on door of 70. Good genes.
  8. Please come back when the list is published and give your assessment. Would be super interested in getting your outlook.
  9. Quite. however given testing requirements and processes have tightened up, it should be less.
  10. an unusual metric to use, I’d suggest. can that be attributed to London’s hosting?
  11. I’d go further. Rio was a mistake.
  12. Interestingly, we had people ask us was he named after the character in the movie/novel call me by your name. The short answer is no. However, that is a gorgeous movie. You should watch if you haven’t already.
