Sporting goods

·1 min

Great sports moments of the last few weeks:

  • The Champions League final - exciting stuff, even if I’m sworn to hate Liverpool. Should they be in the Champions League next year to defend the title? I say no - if World Cup holders have to qualify like everyone else, I think defending Champions League winners should do likewise.
  • The European Grand Prix - how I wish I could’ve stayed on in Germany for a few days just to be at Nürburgring.
  • Afleet Alex nearly falling to the ground in the Preakness along with jockey Jeremy Rose, before Afleet Alex and Rose recovered to win. Lord knows how Rose managed to cling on, but the Afleet Alex back story (colt abandoned by mother, raised by humans, now connected to a children’s cancer charity) is pretty good.
