Gromit, synchronised swimming was not "played" by many countries before it became an Olympic sport. The only person interested was Esther Williams, the former swimmer and film star. But she had enough clout to get it introduced at the LA games.

As to our nitpicker, is AB a written mode of communications or speech just translated.....given my frequent errors and other folks' I would argue the latter? However, I do agree that it is probably libel but, at least, s-shot has seen the error of the way!
