I will, however, briefly summarize what has been so far, as I understand it.
Mrs Armstrong is totally opposed to reducing the size of the Games in any way at all.
There is one body of opinion in favour of removing from the Games those sports which are already well represented in other international contests and in the media.
Another strand of thought is that we should concentrate on individual excellence by cutting out the team games feature in the programme, and Mrs Patel suggested we ought to focus attention on the more unusual sports in the programme which do not normally gain so much international attention.
Sr Cordoba also brought up the idea that we could drop boxing because of its seemingly violent nature.
There was also an opinion voiced that we might exclude events where the skills of a competitor in handling a horse or yacht, for example, were being tested, rather than the stamina of the individual himself, as is the case with, say, athletics.
Well, it is quite clear that we shall need to discuss this further, but in the meantime, I think we'd better move on to something else.
