One Of Terry's Corners Of the Online World

I decided while walking through Victoria Market this morning that the Olympics would be watchable if they had two particular sports in them. Trapeze-artistry and knife throwing. Both are really athletic, take fantastic coordination and are highly visual. Forget pubescent chicks twirling sticks with ribbons on them or twits inspired by Mark Harris swimming back and forth like speedoed goldfish. Knife throwing would have been perfect for China's Olympics. They could have upped their honesty level by strapping obstreperous Tibetans to the big rotating wheels and having drug-enhanced egotistical twentysomethings hurl Fairbairn-Sykes cutlery at them in a competitive way. As for the trapeze thing, it would just kick arse.
