Perhaps we could cut out hockey along with football because, relatively speaking, that too takes up a lot of space, as measured against its universally popular appeal.
I can see you point, Herr Huller, and as one of the basic tenets of the Olympic Games is individual excellence,
I feel we ought to concentrate on those sports which really are a true test of the individual.
I therefore suggest we cut out that is, if we go ahead with this idea, the team games such as basketball, volleyball, football and hockey.
But then you sacrificing some of the most interesting items in the programme.
People like to watch team games as well as take part in them, it'll be very dull without them.
I think Mrs Armstrong has made a very valid point.
We ought to keep some of the team games, although I am inclined to agree with what has been said about football.
There's one thing I would like to say about this and that is to suggest that we could remove from the programme sports like sailing and canoeing and possibly the equestrian events, where the test is not so much of the stamina of the competitor, but of his skill in handling the boat, the horse or whatever.
What about the pentathlon, then? Riding is one part of that, so we are going to need facilities to cater for that in any case, so why not use them for horse-riding as well, or do you think we should axe that too?
Well, that's not get too heated about it, as this is only a preliminary discussion about possibilities and we are not yet in a position to make any final decisions.
