I think handball looks fun, certainly more exciting than Basketball.

[-X basketball is the most exciting sport! Games almost always come down to the wire and the feeling when someone hits a buzzer-beater for the win is unbelievable
It certainly beats basketball and the pace and power involved in the men's game is immense. There's also a lot of technique required for shooting. In the women's game almost every goal it looks like their feet are touching the ground inside the area before the ball is released.

My favourite sport so far (that I've never really watched much), and that goes for both forms. I think I actually slightly prefer the Indoor as a sporting spectacle, but beach has it's obvious pros.
That's what makes basketball uninteresting for me. You only need to watch the last few minutes.

I'm really not a fan of basketball, never have been, used to watch and play it when I was younger, still don't like it now. It bores me silly.

You're not wrong that you can just watch the 4th quarter, but since it's a game of runs the emotions I go through watching a full game is unbelievable. You might be 10 points down, despairing that it's all going wrong, then a big run and you're 3 points up and it feels incredible.

They thing I don't like about Basketball is scoring is routine. One team scores, then the other gets the ball and they score. Then the same again and again. The big incidents are when someone misses.

How can it be deemed an 'error' when Le Clos made up half a body length in the last 40-50 metres on arguably the greatest swimmer (and possibly Olympian) of all time?
Extremely unfair on both swimmers
No - he lost the gold medal because Le Clos finished ahead of him and was faster in the final stretch
Phelps was ahead until the last metre. Le Clos passed him as he was just gliding in.
Indeed - he was faster than him in the end, Phelps was tiring - how is that 'error' on the American?
What irks me here is the insinuation Phelps lost because of some bad luck flimflam, instead of admitting he wasn't fast enough on that day - he swam as best as he could but there was someone better next to him (at that particular time, of course). Typical selective journalism taking away from the achievement of the underdog in favour of the media darling crowd favourite. He made up half a body length on him in 40-odd metres! Is that also an error on Phelps? Please
