Open Olympics?

[pixie374]

Maybe we should have an Open section for the Olympics, so instead of qualifying- you just get randomly summonsed in the post, like jury service :-). So, you find you're in the gymnastics or the dressage team next week- and just have to give it your best shot... I'd watch it :-)

What would you hope to be chosen or not chosen for (or make up your own sport, if you like)?

I want to be that bloke who rides the motor bike in the Keirin!

Ha. I'd probably give one of the horse ones a bash, but would need my car for anything further than the 100m :-)

[Maydup]

Ha, ha, I'd watch too. I'd be absolutely no use in the synchronised diving as I wouldn't even get up the steps to the high board!

I'd have a go at archery perhaps. Surely with all that sophisticated equipment it cant be too difficult?!!

you'll probably find there are strings attached Maydup

That's the spirit, maydup! I'm sure they just make it look difficult :-).
Doris for a gold in ironing, ael?

[aelmpvw]

Can't blame her, tbf :-)

[Zacs-Master]

I think it was called It’s a Knockout.

[pixie374]

Lol :-)

[bednobs]

[Canary42]

I would definitely not like to be picked for the Winter Olympics ski jump (brown and yellow snow is not attractive - LOL)

Actually, looks quite fun, canary....
