Back in the good old days of the BBC, when they held the monopoly on quality sports broadcasting, once every four years you could watch the Olympic Games.
One sport that was always televised was the gymnastics.
The ladies competed in four disciplines; the beam, the vault, floor and asymmetric bars.
How sad to see that this is no longer the case. Today's competitors, according to the Beeb, now compete in the beam, the vault, the floor and the uneven bars.
Dubing down or what.
Presumably the men's parallel bars are known as the even bars.
