Squee and more squee
Oct. 8th, 2010 11:42 amI love the Commonwealth Games (or 'The Friendly Games' as they're known, although the competition is no less fierce for that). OK, the standard is only truly world class in some events, but it's great to see smaller nations competing on a big stage and there's something inspirational about having paralympic events running alongside able-bodied and counting the same. There are at least two paralympic competitors in the same events as able-bodied (one of whom has won a gold) so maybe these should be called the 'Inclusive Games', too.
I've had coverage on in the background almost continually and have delighted in some sports I'd never see otherwise. Anyone for Greco-Roman wrestling?
