It's a shame Darts

[Mick-Talbot]

Isn't an Olympic event.


Well done Phil

[boxtops]

I heard they were thinking of making snooker an Olympic event...

[tonyav]

He's won then, yeah.

[Infomaniac]

Or tiddlywinks.

[askyourgran]

Or fishing.

18-15

Brave effort from James Wade

[elliemay1]

It's not even a sport, just a game, as in "Let's play a game of darts."

[Duncer]

Like snooker. Games we used to play while having a few beers.

[Anngel123]

Ellie....game of tennis, game of volleyball, game of football...blows your theory out of the water. I think the main thing to consider here is the effort involved. So there already is olympic darts....it's called javelin LOL

[Mick-Talbot]

If shooting and archery are sports ..........?

[elliemay1]

Point taken, Anngel! But, in which other sport can they drink beer whilst performing???

[Mick-Talbot]

No one has dominated their chosen sport/game like Phil Taylor has.
(unless someone can enlighten me ?)



It is a game of skill.

[Anngel123]

I see your point, Mick. I don't really understand why shooting is considered a sport either, you don't have to be spectacularly fit to do it, neither for archery. So I suppose darts is not that different.

Dominoes ..........?

[askyourgran]

Darts is sooooo boring all that shouting and yelling..

[askyourgran]

Kerplunk.

I hear Rugby is going to be in the next Olympics about time, I can't see why it is not included now.
