The last two were very lucky. I could see the blue category but wasn't sure of the components.

I thought my first four were suspiciously obvious, but tried them anyway. I've never heard of two of the blues, and purple was rather obscure.

I call shenanigans with blue and one of the purples was very iffy.

Spoiler:

One is a winter sport in which Britain has three gold medals.

The other....

... well, I had to look it up and it will be in the Olympics for the first time in Paris and it's not really a sport at all - or if it is, so is ballroom dancing.

I don't see how they had that as the 'easier' blue section, given the obscurity of that entry.

As to its 'sportiness', I fear that battle was lost a long time ago with so many other examples.

The finale of The Great British Menu had a performance by the UK representatives in Breaking last night. Impressive but not a sport.

Presumably, it'll be one of those events that are awarded points by a panel of judges, which are a bit problematical, because if the subjectivity of it, unlike most events, where the winner is the competitor who crosses the line first, or the team that scores the most goals - objective and unarguable.

That and that there is an artistic element to it. I think judo, boxing, tae kwon do qualify as sports despite the subjective element.

Took too long to get going. And I would say that the blue in the last line fits better than one of the actual greens.

Purple and blue only managed by grouping similar words. Didn't get the connections.
