Overshadowed by the Olympics

[... and chips]

It's relatively rare to see some one try to propell themselves over a bar with the aid of a large stick or to spend the best part of half an hour trying to run faster than someone else.

You must live in the nice part of town.

All the sports in the Olympics where the teams are "professionals" I tend to shy away from . Football, tennis, basketball and next time golf don't sit well with me for some reason .

So which sports aren't professional? I'm struggling to think of many where the athletes aren't full time.

Hence the inverted commas

So sports where wages/prize money don't set you up for life?

If a thief pole-vaulted to escape capture, I think they'd deserve their loot!
