I was hearing on the radio that there is a law in Spain that if players are picked and fit they have to appear in the Olympics.The likes of Pedri, Eric Garcia, Unai Simon and Pau Torres must be knackered. They make the semis of the Euros and now make up the numbers for the Spain Olympic squad.
Give them a break, someone!
I enjoy the Olympics overall. Lots of sports you never see normally, but lots of amateurs who work incredibly hard for their 5 minutes of fame.
It's just a real shame that there haven't been crowds to see this.
Found myself half watching all kinds of sports (and cheering on team GB )Same. It’s odd the things you end up emotionally invested in. Taekwondo for example had me cheering on the British athletes as they kept advancing.
I still can’t fathom dressage though. It’s jolly impressive how the riders get the horses to do those manoeuvres but I can’t fathom the point of it all. Who thought that that level or horsemanship was ever needed and could be made into a sport?!
