Commonwealth Games
(Preview)
Being frank I haven't been and never really am turned on by thes games - I don't find the events meaningful and can't get interested. However - shout out to the England netball team. Those two wins in the last second v Australia and Jamaica were pure drama and given the top teams in the world were at the g...

Team Sky
(

(Preview)
Is Team Sky's reputation now completely shot? Are Wiggins and Froome exposed as frauds? And how can Dave Brailsford have any credibility left, let alone a job? Discuss...or I might be wrong

The best bit was when the Austrian girl fell of the top and tried to get back up the ledge(tried being the ope...

Jimmy Armfield
(Preview)
Very saddened to hear of the passing of Jimmy Armfield, but remember with thankfulness, a life well lived. A peerless gentleman; a great servant to his sport, his country, and his beloved Blackpool; a thoughtful, humble, modest and balanced broadcaster in the mould of Dan Maskell. We will not see hi...

Squash PSA World Series - Tournament of Champions
(Preview)
Couple of things - shout out to James Willstrop (who lives in Harrogate where I am based) who has reached the semis of the above event. It is a big event and James has dragged his ranking back into the top 20 and looks like going higher and maybe top 10, which at the age of 35 is pretty impressive. Well done Ja...

Emotional abuse in Collegiate Gymnastics

Thought I'd add this, semi relevant since we talk about Collegiate tennis on this forum. This article shows the environment College athletes can find sadly themselves experiencing, at the hands of coaches who don't care about the welfare of the athletes. http://www.collegian.psu.edu/featur...
