This squares with my knowledge of him always being keen to take on the responsibility for Shadowing the London Olympics himself even when he did have a team under him. Regarding that, and Will's previous comment, Don may well be better at the sports side than he is at the media and culture side; my own lack of interest in sport means I tend to self-exclude from informing myself what he says in this area. Making the area a one-man band makes it unlikely we will have much to say about anything else.
