Wow! What a fun event! I wish I could go.

Wonderful. A harmless and smooth version of Monty Python's championship back then, but still very funny.

That looks like a great time! Do you get penalized if you drink your G&T before you reach the finish line in the Hop, Skip, and G&T event?

Hemingway, that Throwing the Quill event is right up your alley! We'll need to send a cheering section if you enter next year, of course, to ensure that you are victorious.

Hmmm. MK? Perhaps we could have some similar events at the QM?

Extra points, I say. Drinking it is the exact opposite of spilling, which is to be avoided.

That photo above is hilarious!

What would an American version of the "Chap Olympics" be called? The "Skip and Muffy Olympics"?



The grotty "johnny foreigner" in the fez looks like Wild Root from behind! lol

From the BBC: "These Olympics are for the immaculate of trouser, the frail of form and the fearful of sport."

[Marc Chevalier]

More: "In the three-trousered limbo, pairs share enormous trousers, run to a limbo pole and try to go under it. The trousers must remain at a discreet level, with points deducted for underwear revelation."

Underwear revelation! What a phrase! lol
