The Soup Dragon is unlikely to be around to be the TOSA this year and has passed the baton onto me.

The 2014 Tube Olympics (winter edition) will follow a similar format to the 2010 games with 6 events, these being: Biathlon, Mouse, Tramlink, Nordic Combined, R15 and a FNC.

The Random 15 Challenge will double as round 4 of the 2013/14 season of the R15 Championship, therefore this event will be held on a Saturday. The Mouse, Tramlink and Nordic Combined will be held on a weekday evening (from 18:00) or all day for the FNC. Still undecided as to what to do for a biathlon for this Tube Olympics, but keep tuned...

The first event will be held on the opening ceremony day of Friday 7th February

Do you have any ideas as to which days you'd pick for the other events? (apart from the R15)

That was the 2010's event. Didn't Tangy say he was unsure as to what he'd do for this year?

There is currently a RMT tube strike scheduled for 11th & 12th February (as well as 4th & 5th February), which may make the Nordic combined interesting, if not impossible.

I'll speak to work regarding the Friday events as that's when I'm due to work. I'm ruling myself out of the FNC on grounds of cost (will cost me at least £100). All other events sound good!
