That's the danger of using literal translations without understanding the cultural nuances “Efféminé” was a popular French song by Philippe Katerine it relates the story of the main characters difficulties with an effeminate nature juxtaposing masculine and feminine traits, while performing ordinary tasks such as wearing a jogging suit with “grosses couilles” (Big Balls) listening to Billie Jean while calling his girlfriend. The Billy Jean reference is in relation to a parody version of the song by the duo Charlie & Styl’O, titled “Version Cuisine” (Culinary Version) which introduces all sorts of references to what the French love best - Food It's just not possible to understand the cultural nuances without understanding the culture. UK and US allegedly speak a similar language but many things are baffling to each other Some people like French cuisine, culture and attitude some don't. There a simple rule as in most things if your offended by it, don't watch it.

Gutting puncture for Tarling. He’d have been on for a medal it seemed.

Reckon they'll get out of the group okay after that try and avoid the Dutch and the Aussies. Pakistan and India can be a handful but have a habit of self destruction. We've got a shit hot penalty corner routine and they can be vital in a game. Like any knockout competition, form counts for nothing.

Great to hear John Acres earlier on 5 live commentator on the kayak....The significance being one of the favourites is from Stoke On Trent (sadly cant remember his name!) , and Acres had spent his time talking to his dad in the crowd about all things Stoke!
...and non related the Adam Peaty promo just on BBC has him from Uttoxeter, Derbyshire?!!!
Quality geography is what you pay your licence fee for!

Can someone explain to me what the point of free style swimming is? Freestyle isn't a stroke its a category, most people swim front crawl because it's the fastest stroke.

That’s why I’m asking what the point of it is. Nobody is going to do anything else. So why does it exist is the question I’m asking I suppose

So why does it exist is the question I’m asking I suppose Get what you're saying but maybe the question should be why do the other ones exist? Why are there categories for people to swim a distance, but slower? We don't have people doing the 100m skip.

So why does it exist is the question I’m asking I suppose The rule book doesn't specify any "how" so long as you touch each wall with any part of the body. The dive is specified however. All the other events have very strict rules on how the stroke is executed.

In 1900 the 100m was 1:05 now 46.8sec and the tumble turn didn't appear until 1960s. I think there is only 3 seconds between the 100m freestyle to butterfly. I used to swim with someone at school who raced 100m freestyle as butterfly and wiped the floor with everyone else above and below age groups. Cocky bugger.
