First does anyone know if an ex blade has represented the country in the olympics, probably not I would have thought.

In answer to the first question…..not only do we have a reperesetnative, we have a gold medal winner.

Cameroon won the gold in 2000 with a certain Patrick Suffo in the squad. Now there’s a quiz question.

Not a blade, but Ryan Giggs - Women's Boxing

Didn't we have a medal winning sailor a few years back who was a Blade?

 

[Swinton Blade]

Ellie Roebuck and Millie Bright played for our ladies team. They were at the Olympics this year.

Great find. I never knew Suffo was a native of Repereset though, wherever that is. Is it adjacent to Great Reset, which seems to be in the news a lot these days?

When we had that little museum exhibit at the Lane Suffo quite generously had his medal put on display there. They're very impressive looking up close but not as daunting as Fatty Foulkes shirt size.

Had to share the podium with Rhian Brewster, but unfortunately Salmon fell over
