Tokyo Olympics

  • Ed Warner on the sporting year that was

    weekly column

    And so we reach the end of a year of sporting excess, or at least an excess of sport.

  • Ed Warner: Russia has taken us all for fools, especially spineless Thomas Bach

    February 24, 2022

    Second in the table of overall medals won isn’t half bad for a nation denied a place at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. Russia has taken us all for fools. You if you watched any of it. Me for doing just that. All the sporting politicians who allow Russian athletes to compete. The greatest fool [...]
