Summary

Happy Tuesday! We must ask, are there many Purple People in the Peri-perineum? It is the perfect way to spend a blursday! Now that we’ve properly exchanged pleasantries- get read… set and go! Because this week we are doing a Tom Daley and diving deep into the wonderfully relevant world of the Olympics! Do you fancy an ancient ritual in honour of Zeus? Given the tight leash on demographics oh so many Olympiads ago, we think… probably not! Are you buffed and oiled and ready for the athalon? Or do you prefer the discotheque to the discus? Regardless of what you need, we are here to answer all of your sporting and ancient athletic quibbles, queries and questions! Elsewhere, we have more name-dropping from Gyles, a lesson in ancient Greek from Susie and, as ever, your Purple Post! If you would like to get in touch with either Susie and Gyles please get in touch with us at [email protected].

0:32.0	This is because all the things I'm doing are postponed from last year.
0:35.4	I'm currently on a tour that was supposed to have begun in 2020.
0:39.6	It didn't. So now we're doing it in 2021, but it still
0:42.1	called the 2022. We had football in Europe called Euro 2020.
0:48.7	And now we're coming to the climax of 2020 Olympics.
0:54.3	And they should have happened last year, but they're happening this year.
0:57.0	Are you excited, Susie Dent?
0:59.2	Very excited. I have so many memories of growing up with the Olympics on the TV.
1:04.6	And just, you know, all the sprinting greats.
1:07.2	I was majorly into sprinting and hurdles.
1:10.0	Absolutely loved it. And of course, discovered sports that I'd never even heard of.
1:14.2	So and there are a few more added this year.
1:15.6	Aren't there the surfing and skateboarding and baseball are all adding the list now.
1:20.0	So it's, it's incredible. But I have to say, I don't know if I'm the only one
