Emotional abuse in Collegiate Gymnastics
(Preview)
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...

I am certainly thinking of heading down to Rio, although I have left it very late to get tickets/accommodation etc. But there still seems to be some decent deals on rental apartments or home stay accommodatio...

World Athletics Championships

Is it just me(with an athletics connection), but the BBC's TV coverage is still awful. Very little focus on the field events, too many pundits chit chatting and too many features instead of live athletics In addition to that I had to turn off when they absolutely tore Katarina Johnson Thompson and...

Just wondering where people stand on the KP situation. I admit that I am a big fan of his. Purely from a sporting perspective, he is box office and clearly still able to produce the goods. I accept that he can be difficult to manage at times. It would be safe to call him a "Maverick" and I am su...

Not a fairytale ending with a winner in his last race, but watching it and the send-off he received made me feel quite emotional. An amazing career, deserved all the applause and good wishes at Sandown today.

Just wanted to say "get well Michael". In all honesty, he was a driver I respected more than liked, but I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Here's hoping he makes a swift and complete recovery.

Ashes 2013/14
(

(Preview)
So.... who else is waiting for this to start? I think the 2010/11 English team was a better one, but this Australian team is definitely worse, too, so it sort of evens out. I think England should win, but who knows with these guys. I'm going for a 3-1 to England.

Did any of you just follow that Chicago Blackhawks LA Kings Series? Greatest hockey series I have ever seen and since the Kings won they now play the NY Rangers.....the Kings must be super tired after three seven games series but I still think they will have too much for the NY Rangers. What do you think?...
