haha
still,
going in the raw numbers, and assuming that not everyone would want to fight off a penguin, according to Wikepedia 20% of the population are 0-14yrs and 15% are 65 or older - so - that would leave ~4.3M people to fight off 21M penguins which = ~5 penguins per person to fight off
not sure about you dave but i wouldnt take them on

Every one is taking the piss out of raygun, but at least she was actually at and in the olympics. So she is in the histoy book where as most of the people taking the piss are sitting at home eating potato chips in front of the TV. I think i would rather be at the olympics with all those shit hot looking female swimmers and shit hot looking french women.
I agree with you mate. Said as much in a group of friends on the weekend and one mate absolutely went off about how it was a disgrace and she had no right to represent the green and gold. To be fair his brother did represent Australia but it's still amazing how worked up some people get about this!
Totally agree mate, I'm actually disgusted at the comments I read about her, so many hero armchair critics. . She got there legitimately and had a crack. It always was an amatuer comp until proffesssionals were allowed to compete.
however I do think the current list of Olympic sports is over the top and detracts from what the Olympics were once all about. I accept I'm old fashioned but c'mon.
Full list of Summer Olympic Sports for 2024
• Aquatics (swimming, marathon swimming, diving, water polo, artistic swimming)
• Archery
• Athletics
• Badminton
• Basketball (3x3, basketball)
• Boxing
• Breaking*
• Canoe (canoe sprint, canoe slalom)
• Cycling (BMX freestyle, BMX racing, road cycling, track cycling)
• Equestrian (equestrian eventing, equestrian dressage, equestrian jumping)
• Fencing
• Football
• Golf
• Gymnastics (artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, trampoline gymnastics)
• Handball
• Hockey
• Judo
• Modern Pentathlon
• Rowing
• Rugby (rugby sevens)
• Sailing
• Shooting
• Skateboarding*
• Sport Climbing*
• Surfing*
• Table Tennis
• Taekwondo
• Tennis
• Triathlon
• Volleyball (beach volleyball, volleyball)
• Weightlifting
• Wrestling (Greco-Roman wrestling, freestyle wrestling)
There's about a dozen in that list that I struggle with the concept that they are truly bona fide Olympic events.

Depends what type of penguins. I'd take on 5 little penguins but maybe not 5 emperors!

Kite making and flying will
Kite making and flying will be added soon.
I think they have gone way over the top with so called sports. There are other competitions around the world for some of these so called sports.
Good on them all for giving it a go but geez
