Default Darts at the Olympics?

From the BBC Olympics website..

"Here's arrows legend Phil Taylor on darts in the Olympics: "We are such a global sport. The sport of darts links so many people together - and it would provide a great spectacle at the Olympics." Too right it would, I couldn't think of anything better than seeing Jamie 'Bravedart' Harvey with his arm round Roger Federer at the opening ceremony."

Sums it up for me.

It is down to coordination of hand and eye I suppose.

That leads on to another sport that could be possible. I'm sure there are some hand and eye coordination specialists on SN up for that.

The hosts of the Olympics can introduce a new sport.


The UK, of course, will be introducing crown green bowls in 2012.


What a legacy.

That is if those playing it now will survive until 2012.

So I did, and I wasn't even drunk at the time. Maybe I should have been!
