PARIS 2024 | Equestrian
I mean it's a bit difficult to have a meaningful discussion of this without either actually seeing the video or having a description of what's contained in the video. Hate when the press witch-hunt people without any more context. Unless this falls into the it must be the videos so bad it can't be shared on social media?

PARIS 2024 | Triathlon
This is definitely the event I'm looking forward to the most. 5 GB athletes will be competing although no Brownlee brothers will make it slightly less interesting Sam Dickinson and Alex Yee look like good prospects for medals in the men's event. Georgia Taylor-Brown is a good prospect in the women's as well, don't know too much about Kate Waugh and Beth Potter but given how competitive triathlon places are for the GB spots there clearly going to be good. Also just to note the men's individual is on the 30th July, the women's on the 31st and the mixed relay on the 5 August. They're early start events for British viewers - with a 7am start time. As an aside, I really wish they'd add an ironman to the Olympics.

1955 Song of the Year
Thanks very much to the 7 members who voted in this - I can now reveal the winner of the 1955. With little surprise first place this time it's an absolute runaway for Rock Around the Clock by Bill Haley and his Comets with 52 points. That gives the band there second win in a row.
