    Damn, to think I missed it watching an afternoons brilliant cycling instead!! :wink:

    Oh well, each to their own! As long as Eurosport didn't put it on istead of the tour, wouldn't put it past them knowing some their planning!

    obscure can be good, take the women's beach volleyball i had the pleasure of catching the other day. then at the other end of the thrill spectrum you've got tractor pulling and equestrian

    Yeah but after being a Eurosport viewer for many years, I thought I had seen pretty much every obscure sport going (tractor pulling used to be great).

    Tchoukball was a totally new one on me. And to think, it wasn't even proper tchoukball, it was beach tchoukball, which I guess is even obscure to dedicated tchoukball fans.

    They'd broadcast a game of Twister if it sold enough advertising space.
