Massive respect to @Dunks_Scott not only for a bronze medal in the 200m freestyle at the world swimming champs. but for not shacking sun yang. swimmers standing up to drugs cheats as the world governing body won’t.

Evening all. Anyone watching sports personality ? We have had a huge amount of success and have so many talented athletes in the UK. I know I may be biased but I have been in swimming for 4 decades so have a little knowledge and insight.

And it was ok for you to go to Wembley… 😂.
Nobody cares about these covid-ravaged Olympics. I feel incredibly sorry for all the athletes still trying to live their Olympic dream, but that is the harsh reality. And the great champions like @adam_peaty know it. It should have been either further postponed or cancelled.
