As you'll recall the first post on The Everyman Olympics outlined why I'm doing these challenges, whilst my second post - The Very Exciting Subplot - focused on my competition with Carl and the race to lose a stone - this is an update on that sub-challenge, and yes ladies and gents, we have a winner!
One man's accidental quest to complete a challenge in EVERY Olympic Sport

The Badminton Challenge: Spitting Feathers
Back To My Routes
Having sat down through my entire first challenge I knew I needed to start bucking my ideas up, so I rechecked the Olympics listings and opted for a sport I'd actually played before - in fact this was one of the few sports I'd ever come close to playing regularly. All it would take to get started would be a trip into my loft to dig out the tools of my new trade and to make a few calls to set up some opposition.
Having been up into the rafters and dusted off my gear I sat down to coffee in my kitchen and rebooted my laptop to work out the details of my challenge.
The sport? Badminton.
