lechatnoir Posted May 28, 2021 Share late to the party, but for me, the pinnacle for cycling at the Olympics is on the track. Reading the biographies etc, it would see that Olympics is a big deal for track cyclists. The biggest deal even. And on TV, it's a spectacle of note.

No no, its because he wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing that he got in the way of somebody else's dreams. peetwindhoek and FootballingCyclist 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted June 14, 2021 Share To be fair, the course would be brutal for him if he hadn't crashed, never mind after recovery. I wonder who they will select. I'm openly anti olympics and global sporting events so IMHO they should just let the spot fall away.

I worked in upper organising/management on 3 of them as well as Commonwealth games, F1, Rugby/Soccer/Cricket world cups, AFCON, Euros etc...... The Olympics is basically just a massive rapist of countries Patchelicious, eddy, stefmeister and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Countries typically run these at a huge loss. So who makes the Billions? Big TV companies that have the broadcasting rights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about 120 million pound contracts for carpets that just go on wheelchair ramps at 150 pound a square meter.... Or 4 pound a loo roll moving thousands of loo rolls a week. Just the TIP of the ice berg. Lets not go into the small local businesses that get offered 'great' contracts, do the work then never get paid and go bust and never get paid.... I could go on. They sell a dream, they sell glory, but really it's a deep dark hole of corruption, bribery, crooked ethics and money. I'd be more ok with it if they didn't sell it on the back of 'The Olympic Spirit'. Like F1. We know it's crooked. We know it's about money. So the dodgy contracts affected me less. FIFA is worse...... But again, not sold on the back of a lie. Anyway, the Olympics is my trigger. I'm sorry for ranting. I shall refrain and say I hope they pick someone who does us proud.
