Yeah I'm like that Sooty except my weakness is motor racing not foot, though I do tend to watch international tournaments (Euros & World Cup).

I did sit and watch the cycling over the past few nights but tonight I tried some hockey, high jump and diving but it just doesn't float my boat. Doesn't stop me marvelling at the supreme ability of some of them though.

What strikes me as funny is how we're all experts after an hour or so though :-)

Talking of which, there was apparently a near-no jump last night when the bar fell off after the white flag had been raised to say the jump was good. It took the judges quite a few minutes to decide that the raising of the white flag was the decisive moment. The commentators were saying there is a myth that it's when the athlete gets off the mattress.
