Gutted. But when @adam_peaty smashes the @Tokyo2020 Olympics in two weeks we will all feel a lot better.

Trying to think of the biggest Italy v. England matchups that we’ll see this summer in Tokyo.

17 y.o. Anastasia Pagonis began losing her eyesight at age 11 due to a genetic autoimmune disease. At age 14, she was blind & found herself struggling emotionally. Swimming became her outlet. She competes in the Paralympic Games in Tokyo. Go Anastasia! 👏🏽https://t.co/yNhEFSjaur pic.twitter.com/xQLKToLH5u

Our thoughts exactly.
Haha didn’t expect to see John Hunt’s face when I jumped on Swimswam today. Great guy and decent little racing tipster (if anybody likes the horses!). Think he’s on to something with this Peaty fella, too.
I heard ‘ Its coming home’refrain long before 96. I knew it had a deep emotional tag so I never asked any of the Brits here. Finally I did & yes it had to do with the 1966 plane crash that took out one of the Manchester teams & core of England talent . They were returning from playing Belgrade Red Star to defend their Europe Cup . The sentiments have rolled over to include other football emotions eg the stadium disaster & most importantly Non Wins .
