It makes a nice change to moan about something topical. Usually I wax aggressively about stuff I've seen on my way home or on the Internet with only the slimmest of connections to my awesome readership, but today I can talk about something that's actually happening: those Olympics everyone keeps banging on about.
I've got nothing against the Olympics; it's a great sporting event. The time difference means I've not seen a great deal of what's happened but I'm picking up the main bits on the radio and to be honest, the good stuff (running and throwing and that) hasn't started yet so I'm not really that arsed.
However...
Why are the swimmers being rested from races? The GB women's team, who were a good bet for the gold, failed to qualify from the heats cos they'd rested two of their better swimmers who'd already swam that week. That's right - earlier that week a 19-year-old career swimmer who trains every day had to have a bit of a rest from racing. Presumably because she was a bit tired.
I wish I could do that; I've had a difficult day at work so I get rested by my boss until a more important job comes along. In a word, absolutely pathetic. If you ask me (which you won't), if you need to have a rest having swam 2 days ago you're either not training properly or you're shite at it. Good day.
