The Editor Says…
I like the Olympics. In the same way that I like the Rugby World Cup. And the Up’ards against the Down’ards at Ashbourne in Derbyshire. But I don’t love them like I do other events.
Shrovetide football is a bit daft. The rugby goes on for too long, and the Olympics and Paralympics is gone in a flash. But they all combine and add to the world of sport. With us sports fans appreciating them, without us having to love them to enjoy the storytelling and action.We touch on the ‘five ring circus’ in this issue. We hope, adding to that central enjoyment by again – like we did with the football World Cup – shooting around the edges rather than serving as your definitive guide. Still, there are things to read throughout the mag that you won’t see elsewhere. Enjoy your magazine.
