Very good, definitely worth expanding despite someone one-starring it. Gotta be easy to write, right? Brilliant idea.

5 more gold*s, up you go. Works well as a one-liner, I reckon. Not to say its up couldn't be beefed.

Yeah, it's a great one-liner, but it leaves you wanting more. Maybe justifying why all athletes will get a bronze as a minimum at the next Olympics, but chat show hosts refuse to recognise them?

Ooh, I like the idea of "medal inflation" - Sunday Times report exposes the statistic that 90% of athletes now get gold medals, devaluing the whole thing - some more elite towns are refusing to have open-top bus celebrations for anyone with fewer than four, etc.

"And the events were so much harder when I was competing," complained Daley Thompson. "We used to have to run a hundred metres in ten seconds, these days they hardly bother running more than nine! And I'm sure the synchronised swimming's got easier..."

It's the crowd behind him that's helping - it's like having another man sitting on his lap. Only without any of that nonsense, not when he's trying to write, and all.

When I thought of it I started to expand on my smartphone - which wasn't a smart move, so after 30 secs I cut to the one liner.

All of our athletes will have to take the full curriculum - i.e. Decathlon or Heptathlon according to gender. Also, each one will have to achieve above the national average results.
