Cricket's a real sport, not some nonsense judged on aesthetics. Trouble is, if they got rid of all the non-sports events, they'd have to get rid of gymnastics, and that would be a sad day. So for the sake of gymnastics we have to put up with Olympic Catwalk Modelling, and Olympic Flower-Arranging and so on. But they should insist on the ancient ideals, and make them do the sports naked. Apart from the weight-lifters, obviously. Corinthian Bob
