Commonwealth games comes more interesting where we might actually be more competitive in athletics without the US there. I mean Kenya and Jamaica still are but might be able to have relay teams make finals and stuff like that.

Thatā€™s actually a fair shout.

Its probably logistically impossible but Iā€™d live to see them ran at the same time.

I lived in Sydney in 2000. No Olympics attendance for me (I cycled the marathon route, to ascertain what parking would be removed).

I went to one day of Paralympics; 10 bucks (?) and you could go to any event that day. Was cool.
