Mo Farah
(Preview)
Just wondering if anyone else watched the documentary about Mo Farah this evening. A truly remarkable story about how he was trafficked into the UK as a child, held captive in domestic servitude, forced to use a different name - his real name is Hussein Abdi Kahin - and how he eventually forged a life f...

Gutted to see squash lose out on getting into the Olympics, and to breakdancing of all crazy things. For anyone interested, the PSA World Championships are being played this week, with the Grand Central Station at Chicago hosting the main matches and final stages. http://worldsquashchamps.com...

Congrats to Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano on selling out Madison Square Garden (still for me the iconic tennis venue!) and producing a classic. Looks like they will go again at Croke Park Dublin. Seminal moment for womens boxing and possibly in womens sport.

Well, after a couple of weeks action, we have a medal now as the GB mens curling team get to the final of the team curling event. It is a very moorish sport to watch, I enjoyed the tactics immensely today. And GB women are in the semis, after winning a last ditch match today and then having all the results fa...

This is now becoming very real with the announcement of almost all the squads yesterday, with THREE home nations involved out of four it seemed entirely appropriate to start a separate thread.

Bit of a taboo subject, and I was looking to bump an old thread rather than create a new one, but couldn't even find a horse racing thread of any sorts, so perhaps not, but is anyone having any punts / much interest in Cheltenham this year? SkyBet are doing their £10 refunded as cash on the first race tomorr...

Vuelta Espana

Another great grand tour event , Hugh Carthy of Britain won today's stage and is 3rd with a week left. Probably wont win but on the back of Geoghegan Hart winning in Italy, britain still has some talented cyclists in the post Froome and Thomas era.

Second test starts in the middle of the night - best chance for England given it is a day/night match in cool conditions England's seamers should benefit - let's hope the batters can finally get some big runs.

Coupe de France v FA Cup
(

One maybe aimed towards Coup Droit! We over here always think of the FA Cup as the top club cup competition. But looking at the French version, it seems to run ours pretty close in terms of number of entries, upsets over the years, chances for lower level clubs. As someone with links both sides of the...

We were a bit sloppy in defence and Lille were in control for most of the match, had a goal correctly disallowed in the 2nd half - was a great decisio...
