New Olympic Sport proposed


Sheep shearing should be Olympic sport, says All Blacks legend

IT is like a cross between a woolly wrestling match and a trip to the hair salon.
But now All Blacks rugby legend Sir Brian Lochore has backed calls for sheep shearing to be recognised at the Olympics as an official sport.

Sir Brian’s comments came as Scottish competitor Gavin Mutch was ranked among the 12 semi finalists at the prestigious Golden Shears World Sheep Shearing Competition in Masterton, New Zealand.

My famous Isle of Mull former inhabitant the Wee Alchy reckons the Aberdons would win hands down at sheep shaggin', whatever that is in Jockland.  It is said that the Taffs would give them a run for their money but seeing the smiles on the Kiwi's faces, one never knows :).
