Improbable Sports: 2012

Wednesday 25 July 2012

Olympic Fever

The Olympics has started with the sport that continues to confuse most sports fans the world over....Women's Football.

Camping Cricket

Not a new rule change or any other improbable event, but a major injury aggravated by the age old sport of camping cricket.

New Olympic Sport?

As we approach the games, it looks like a new sport will be admitted just in time. This new Olympic event has been named 'Bloody High Street!'

Tour De Force

This year's Tour de France now has a new leader, Team Sky's Bradley Wiggins and a potential rule change means that the wait for a British champion is nearly over.

There is a growing belief that Man United, by attempting to list on the New York Stock Exchange may be going the way of another famous club who have been in the headlines recently for money troubles and this could in fact lead to demotion from the top flight.

Spain get away with it

It's amazing that this has not been noticed during Euro 2012 but it appears that Spain have created their own rule especially for the tournament.

Weekend Question

A new feature for a new blog...the weekend question. This week's question is "Which one rule in sport would you abolish?"

Football Baldies

Sticking with the Euros, it has been noted by the football authorities that there are a distinct lack of old school baldies at the tournament. This is something that Fifa are working towards rectifying for all future tournaments (instead of making sure goal line technology works probably).

Wimbledon

Tennis officials are considering a new code of conduct for crowd behaviour at the championships. As most of the crowd is made up of middle class, middle aged ladies who have probably never attended a live sporting event before and probably think its ok to engage in ad-hoc shouting and chanting, officials have had to act to ensure that the traditional level of idiocy is maintained.
