Whilst waiting for the Gareth person to update us on numbers re the permanent jobs thingy, I managed to contain my excitement by having a quick look at past Olympics.
Did you know that in the 1904 Olympics, provision was made for those deemed as primitives, ie Pygmies and Patagonians, to compete in their own special section? They could achieve sporting excellence in such events as mud fighting, greased-pole climbing, rock throwing, and spear throwing!
Howzabout a Gold Medal in Painting? Step forward Jean Jacoby of Luxemburg, a double Gold winner in 1924 and 1928 with his drawing of two rugby players entitled...."Rugby"
Sadly 1932 was the only appearance of Sled dog Racing
I hope the anticipated millions are not disappointed, as 2012 has a lot to live up to......
