GET out the green-and-gold scarf and set the alarm clock - the Olympic Games are on.
With COVID-19 causing one of the most unusual Olympics in living memory, not everyone will be able to get to Tokyo for the next two weeks.

With this in mind, bush scribe and professional waffle-herder, the Ringer, has looked at what events could be held on the farm in order to foster that Olympic feel at home.
As a result, he's produced a series of short, largely uninformative and pointless videos demonstrating how modern Olympic sports could be held on the farm.
At about 8.30pm each night of the 2020/2021 (whatever it's being called) Olympics, we'll upload a video on a particular event to the Good Fruit & Vegetables Facebook page.
Sports include the hammer throw, diving, fencing, judo and gymnastics.

Ashley Walmsley
For more than a decade, Ashley Walmsley has written about Australian agriculture. Having grown up on his parents smallcrops, cane and cattle property in Queensland, but clearly unable to grow anything himself, it was a natural progression for him to pursue a career writing about rural industries. He is currently the editor of Fairfax Media’s only national, fresh produce magazine, Good Fruit & Vegetables, while also covering horticulture stories for the agricultural papers and websites. When not writing about vegetables, fruits and nuts, Ashley enjoys playing and discussing video games from a simpler time, and doing impersonations of ABC radio presenters.
