I went to the local quiz last night.
There was a question on "which piece of equipment did Beth Tweddle win her Olympic medal on"? I of course answered the asymetric bars.
I was marked as wrong.
They had the answer, the uneven bars.
Don't be ridiculous I said.
On checking the news reports this morning I discover they are now called the uneven bars.
We have dumbed down gymnastic equipment!
Roll on the kickybally season!

I had a similar argument with a young friend but she showed me clip where I definitely heard 'uneven bars'. What the hell is the language and the intelligence of the youngsters coming to? There is obviously someone in the 'meedja' who could not spell Asymmetrical!
This article suggests it's an 'either/or' name. What name the media gives it is irrelevant. I think you were robbed.
