The Olympics is all about pushing yourself to your limits of endurance.
This morning I did just that Comrades.
Somehow I managed to sit through 20 minutes of Yum Cha without my head exploding from their inane chatter.
Firstly, this show is on every morning before the Olympic coverage begins and everybody knows you only have yum cha on Sundays.
Secondly, they have some great stories, like Mongolia’s first-ever gold medal and some swimmer who came last in his heat but wiped off 40 seconds from his personal best, but they skim over them so quickly the details are a little sketchy.
I blame Generation Y.
The show is hosted by one of the Daddo brothers and three other b-grade celebrities. Brain surgeons they certainly aren’t.
PS Tuvshinbayar Naidan was the Mongolian and he won gold in the 100kg judo division.
PPS Stany Kempompo Ngangola was the swimmer, in the 50m freestyle, and he cut his personal best from 1min14sec to 35.19sec.
PPPS Hang on, the Mongols have invaded China and are taking their gold! I’d best get back to the Great Wall. Looks like I’ve got work to do…
