there's no way a fat bloke who stays indoors and throws things at a board should stand on the same platform as people who have to train hard for their sport (and I include jockeys in this.)  The only day Jess Ennis will take off this year will be Christmas Day, and she had to think hard before deciding to do that!
the same, but different...

Sport should be divided into sport (physical involving aerobic exercise) and recreational (darts, fishing etc.) with recreational always having to give preference to sport and not getting funding. It would encourage a fitter nation as well as sort out the perennial problem of sailors v fishermen!
 
And Amy Williams should have won - how many of the others (or of us) would have the guts to go down those runs on that thing at those amazing speeds??

I don't think the jockey, Cavendish or David Haye are lacking in bravery.

Why would you take Christmas Day off? Back in his pomp Big Ted used to train on Christmas Day knowing that when push came to shove later in the season he knew he'd trained every day possible, but not all of his rivals had.
