What "sport" shouldnt be in there?

If you include the winter olympics, curling hands down.

A lot of them are pretty shit. I''m only interested in the athletics.

Don't understand the whole thing with the Modern Pentathlon. Fencing, then swimming, then ride a horse that isn't yours, then a 3km run with a bit of shooting thrown in for good measure.

Oh, and Taekwondo should be replaced with MMA.

What's wrong with swimming? It's a brutally hard sport.

Have you ever played water polo? I agree it's painful to watch but it's fucking brutal to play.

Swimming has too many events. Dressage is shit. Walking is inherently retarded.

Synchronized swimming, if those girls wear G-strings would be o.k.

1 arm kettlebell (girya) lifting could be interesting to watch, I think kb's competition was in St.Louis games ?.
In Rio 2016, skatebording will be intro sport.

but would trampoline require a lot of functional and core muscle and balance to perform well, which is your part of specialty?

Curling has some skill to it... spinning the stone properly... sweeping accurately... It's like archery on Ice somewhat... So I think it's ok.

I think synchronized swimming is alright too... very athletic.

If I were to make a petition to get rid of a sport... Hands down, would be trampoline... It's mostly the trampoline itself... That ain't shit.

Bodybuilding could be easily one of the most important events in the Olympics, but I'm afraid the organizers are straight.

Bodybuilding in the Olympics? It's a "sport" based on drug use. Without drugs there would be no sport. I can see the current line of from the Mr. Olympia contest in the Olympics. They would fail the drug test for steroids, HGH, HCG, insulin, thyroid, diuretics, speed, anti estrogens, and others.

Yes, gayer than walking competitively at a fast pace.

cephissus · « **Reply #22 on:** July 28, 2012, 02:57:39 PM »

synchronized swimming shouldn't be in? ffs give me a break...

how about the 4000 swimming events, 3087 of which michael phelps will win.

i had a friend once who couldn't believe i didn't consider phelps record breaking medalling to be so impressive. to me it seems like, well what if they had not only the 100 meter run, but also the 101 meter run, 102 meter run, 103 meter run... holy shit usain bolt just won 20 metals, greatest olympian ever
