With the current euphoria over the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, I’m a little dismayed at the under representation of the ancient sport of angling. I think it’s about time we, the angling community, made plans for London 2012. I propose that we lobby the IOC for the inclusion of the following aspects of our sport to be included in the coming Games:
Men’s Individual Spodding - 60m
Men’s Synchronised Spodding – 60m
Four Man Coxless 40gm Method Feeder Casting
Freestyle Balling-In
And I would personally put myself down for coaching the Women’s Beach VolleySpodding; if my place in the middle distance bite-missing team was under pressure.
I’m sure if we put our heads together we can come up with some more disciplines. There could be Sport UK grants available!
