Anybody who has switched onto BBC1 today can hardly be unaware that the Olympic games has now started. After what seemed like a life time of an extremely boring opening ceremony we now have four weeks of sport to look forward to. There will also, as usual, be plenty of non sports featured as well.
You see to me sport is when peo[ple compete against each other and one of them ends up the winner. But in the modern Olympics there are loads of non sports where the winner is determined by a panel of judges, diving, sycronised swimming, gymkana, gymnastics etc etc.
So these events are not won by the best participant. they are won by the best participant in the judges opinion, which makes them light entertainment and not sports. And of course these judges are wide open to political persuassion and bribary, just like our government are.
But it gave me an idea. If the Olympics is going to include light entertainment rather than real sport then why don't we at PMT do our own alternative Olympics?
So we are going to and Castonya is going to be the judge and award all the medals. I hope you all enjoy it.
