BMX, XC, Road & Track
There's no way on this planet that DH will make it into the Olympics despite the UK being a hot bed of talent with the last two mens World Champions, and a female World champ or two.
They wouldn't hold the XC racing outside of London, there sure as hell no hills big enough to hold a UCI level DH competition on inside the M250 -
Where did you find them? They would be good to use in some of my presentations - do you have a link at all?

Yea on the Munich one. I dont recall ever seeing a sport where you can only compete if your legs are longer than the average giraffe0

6th row down, 2nd from left - dramatic wheel-change in the road race?0

Ours are a sort of dumbed down version for people who aren't comfortable with modernist design. These are more 'picture' than 'logogram'.
The black ones, because of their background shape, can't help but be compared unfavourably to the classics from 68 and 72, but the two-colour versions on white are rather beautiful, vibrant and light -- and above all, don't look like feeble derivatives of Aicher's.
And they have potential for development outside of directional signage context:
Easy to imagine them in animated form as TV graphics too.0 -
The first one's turning me on..... :oops:Head Hands Heart Lungs Legs0
