 Olympics - Ian (Cape Town)
That is the catch-all, isn't it?
Apart from the Olympics, how often do we get to see a lot of the smaller sports?
Even in these days of ubiquitous satellite coverage, you'd be hard-pressed to find archery, dressage, trampolining, target shooting, fencing etc at any time in the three yrs 11 months between the games.
Football, athletics, swimming all have their own highly popular world champs, but most other sports will be relegated to a 30 minute highlights package on channel 497 late at night.
I'm just glad that some chaps and chappesses get to show their skills every 4 years. And remember, the reason we love watching sports is to see folk doing stuff we could never do ourselves to that level.
