I doubt any rugby league coaches would be happy if they did as the Olympics take place during the season.

I've always thought the Olympics should be the pinnacle of your sport. Tennis, basketball and football are three sports which shouldn't be there.
A number of leading golfers have already said they wouldn't take part if it disrupted their preparation for an important tournament. Isn't the PGA Championship in August?
It's going to be a joke with the leading golfers absent.

When a foul was called the entire stadium would turn to the big screens for a replay and, along with the recap, an explanation of the exact nature of the offence would flash up as a bilingual subtitle...

'This was an innovation that managed to be both helpful and damning. Every time a technical brouhaha would occur, 80,000 people would crane upwards, read the screen and give a minor ah of enlightenment. Maybe this is a sport with too many rules...'
