was odd to get a text from my mum"Gasping at the BMX fantastic",
which is nice, that the exposure that "extreme" sports, and non traditional athletics sports being introduced at the Olympics, and Athletics has brought in a new breed of older fans who probably just saw BMXers and skateboarders as a nuisance ;)
Sad that there still isn't much coverage on TV, but I guess they know the main audience would be similar age to participants who don't watch TV traditionally any more.
I'm sure there are some that think it should still be greco roman wrestling etc, but that's progress for you :)
