The genius of the Olympics Part 1: Womens' Beach Volleyball

Okay so not much time for an update today but if we had any lingering doubts before about the glorious games, now you can colour us convinced.

Three short words: Womens'. Beach. Volleyball.

This is a ‘sport’ in no doubt about its greatest assets, as a random sample of the commentary reveals.

“A great pair.” We were forced to agree.

“They’re in great shape” Again no dissenting voices from this corner.

Any sport which has maximum costume sizes and fit lasses writhing about in the sand for your viewing pleasure has to be applauded.

What’s that you say? A ball? There’s a ball? What ball?

And now one in what might possibly be a very short series:

Olympic word of the day: 'Winningest'

As in “Michael Phelps is the Winningest Athlete in Olympic history.”

Jesus you give these people a language and see what they do with it. Dictionary for American Network NBC someone….
