Equestrian Dressage

Imagine a person sitting atop a horse as it prances, pirouettes and jumps unnaturally around a ring. Congratulations! You've just envisioned the dumbest "sport" of the Olympic games

That's a fair contender too. What a fucking rediculous sport that is. Crazy stuff.  A bunch of pompus fags riding around on horses wearing tophats. Surely that is a "sport" that should be removed from the Olympics.

Badminton is a rather gay-ish sport, but I still consider it a sport. Requires lots of skill, speed, co-ordination, etc, much like table tennis, and tennis. Not a sport enjoy, but still a "real" sport nevertheless in my books.

Remember the modern day Olympics were conceived as "gentleman" sports, meaning that many of the things we used to do for transportation or for work, like rowing, and horseback riding, were considered "gentleman sports"---which means that the professionals or experts (those who did a lot of rowing, dueling or those who rode horses for living) were excluded. So there you have the amatuer element and the inclusion of outdated, and confusing sports---that really require diff skill sets than outright athleticism.

 Trampoline I see but shooting? Shooting at a competetive level is very difficult, been there done that.

 Synchronized diving is a bit much for me.

Yes, I'll have to go with the dressage as well. I can understand the showjumping being a sport as it requires the horses and riders to have skill at jumping within time limits but prancing about on a horse in your finery is almost as bad as standing onstage in a bedazzled thong.

What about toughest sport - I'll have to say triathlon.

ok, the socalled olympic games are in honour of the antique greek festival games in olympia.

now think ancient greece and compare how the following disciplines agree with the original spirit:

-archery, yeah, ok, this is can see

-athletics,ok, this is legit

-badmington, surely the old greeks didnt play this

-basketball, i dont think this was invented back then

-beach volleyball.no comment, theres no beach on mount olympus

-boxing, this i can see, in some ancient form

-canoe, rather not, sailing wasnt so invented back then,was it

-cycling(not gear), mountainbike was probably a donkey back then, bmx was surely not around

-diving, lol people didnt know what is swimming back then, but maybe they did engage in diving off cliffs anyway

-equestrian, now as crazy as it may sound, this is one of the sports close to the original ones back then.

-fencing, yeah,i can see this in some similiar form, with swords or so.

-football, hell no

-gymnastics, maybe, the wounded losers from sword fights rolling around in pain, maybe that was the origin of gymnastics

-handball, maybe originated from ppl throwing stuff with hands at athletes they disliked or something, but not as a sport, what would they have been throwing, stones?

-hockey. ::)

-judo....maybe, something similiar, done exclusively by homosexuals, like today

-modern phentatlon, wtf is this?and the term modern dont agree with the original spirit by default

-rowing, dont think so

-sailing, surely not, where to, with what?

-shooting, self explainatory by timeline of invention of shooting devices

-swimming, yeah, where?

-synchronised swimming, no way this existed back then

-table tennis, tennis, what would be the rackets?eskimo shoes?

-taekwondo, if an ancient greek wouldve heard this word hed think its something to eat

-trampoline, on what would they do this?donkeyfur?

-triathlon, see bycycles

-volleyball, uhm, dont think they had both beach and indoor volleyball.

-water polo :-\

-weightlifting, wrestling, these 2 i can imagine were originaly done.

so much for whats left of the spirit





We shouldn't expect all of the olympic games today to mirror the games from ancient times. They did the sports that were common for them, we do the sports common for us. Things have evolved.

Olympics should be all about :
1- Track and field
2-Swimming
3-Gymnastic
4-Weight Lifting
5- Plus some minor REAL HARD TOUGH SPORT that do not get recognition outside the Olympic Event : like Rowing , Wrestling and Water Polo.
There is no reason for other BULLSHIT SPORTS.

i wish every one of these daughters whos given a horse as present by rich or semi rich parents falls in love with a black gangbanger ;D

not just most ridiculous sport, also amongst the most pathetic hobbies.

As with everything, also the olympics get more bloated as time goes by.
Many fillers, but as long as stuff like boxing, gymnastics and "?" is involved it's ok in my book.
Friend of mine watched boxing at the Olympics and it was a blast according to her - the brits in the audience ripped the foreign boxers a new one + the atmosphere was stellar.
