Apropos the equestrian sports (esp today), I would like to raise a toast to the late Dick Francis, without whom I would never have known anything about horses (other than that they bite and kick), nor horse jumping. Cheers mate, wish you were here to see it.

Most meaningless quote of the Olympics: "We need a clear round to make it a definite probablity". Er, yes, of course.

Olympic nominative determinism - a Dutch judo champion who hit the man who threw the bottle onto the track before the 100m final. How apt!
