I suspect you are right, sadly. The defence for keeping e-sports and gaming out is reducing when so many other pastimes and 'non sports' (imo) have been added in already.It's probably only a matter of time until e-sports/gaming is included.

The skateboarder is half Japanese, half British.Not criticising it in any way but have noticed a number of american accents amongst the GB team. First grabbed my attention during the pre and post race interviews with the women runners but again today with the young skateboarder. Have we been on a recruitment drive on the other side of the Atlantic?
They’re bringing in a trolley dash around Lidl for the Paris olympics with various disciplines like the wonky wheel, granny in the way, kids on heelies, the coin slot not working properly and my favorite the person who joins the queue then goes and gets more shopping

Any idea why she competes for Britain?? Judging by her Wikipedia she has a British dad, but a Japanese mum and was born and largely lives in Japan. So Japan surely would have been the more logical choice.The skateboarder is half Japanese, half British.
