Sport, sport everywhere!

nineveh_ukThe problem with the summer Olympics is that there is vast amounts of sport everywhere - and yet still one ends up seeing some dressage or, worse, hockey. But with flicking between the BBC channels and bits of Eursport I am mostly seeing what I want, which is inevitably less than I'd like because I do have a life otherwise and obligations like work.
But not work for a fortnight, as I am on holiday. I decided not to try to go abroad this year and to just attempt to have the break in Edinburgh I meant to do last year, and technically did, except for testing positive for Covid the day after I arrived and then giving it to my parents. This year I shall hopefully get to go to a couple of Fringe events (mask welded to my face) and generally out and about a bit in between the extensive bouts of relaxation.
Paris seems to be doing a decent job of organisation, hubris of planning triathlon in the Seine with no back-up plan aside. They're certainly making the most of showing off the city.
