The answer is yes, I can see the number of likes by the likes button on mobile.

The functionality or lack thereof on the site is ridiculously poor. The menus on the mobile site only work sporadically. Like this alerts symbol, came up this morning with red notifications. That’s great but when you click on them, they’re from a week ago. Then it just stops working completely. So none of those icons respond at all. You can’t access notifications, mail or your profile. It just doesn’t respond when you press them, no matter if you reload the page or not. This isn’t just a glitch, it’s a complete and utter failure of functionality.

Talking of pups, just got back from exercising our Vizsla. Or rather the Vizsla exercising me! If this dog was a rugby player, he'd be the first name on the team sheet - they are serious specimens: top speed 60 km/hr, which puts them in the top 5 dogs known to man for speed. To put this in perspective, Usain Bolt's top speed is 45 km/hr and Jaco's labrador is in the 30 to 40 km/hr bracket. The dog is also extremely powerful with a lean muscular build. I find him borderline dangerous to be honest, even though this is a breed that would never ever maul someone. They are also great swimmers and the dog is indefatigable! I'm pretty enchanted, but you need to put aside roughly 2 hours each day every day to exercise them. Here is wee Milo checking out a WWII bunker in the clifftops above Trieste harbour.

You're sure it’s not taekwondo? Oh wait that’s Ivory Coast 😛

What about snooker and darts?

Bit of an antiquated view against skateboarding, over the last 10 or so years there's been several professional leagues and competitions setup that are massive across North and South America with more of a shift towards performance based athletes with the likes of Nyjah Huston and Yuto Horigome in terms of full time professional athletes doing a lot of training and practicing routines etc.

The women's competitions are a bit more plagued by the fact that the number of women who skate is still fairly low in comparison, especially at a competitive level which is why there's only new waves of young skaters coming true.

For me personally it's no different to the gymnastics side of things. But the main goal I think is for the Olympics trying to target younger audiences, similar to why BMX and Surfing are in now.

Nothing like watching a painting dry to drive up the viewing figures…

Could be few more medals picked up alright, Agree about track and field.

standard of juvenile coaching is much better but we still dont have enough facilities/access to facilities for many athletes which is big factor in stopping us being far more competitive

Bmx is an Olympic sport already, so we're well on course
