yep. Back in 1900, obstacle swimming races were an olympic sport. I think they just had to swim and dive under or clamber over obstacles as the approached them.. that'd be cool to watch.
I don't mind badminton and table tennis, its fun to watch the pros play it... they're absolute freaks. |

Dressage is now on live (Bravo)....quite a silly "sport", but I'm actually quite impressed at the mastery and control over the horse....then the horse...doing all those freaky, skip steps and diagonals and trotting in place. I've ridden horses for 20 years....never trotted in place on one LOL.
It's all about the top hat though I say...def. not an athlete though.
/me passages into a piaf on the centerline and back to bed :) |

| I think bike sprints are boring enough to be taken out. |

I know a sport that definately needs to be included. Japanese strong man competitions. Every year there is this huge competition and all these carzily built like brick house dudes and dudettes compete. They erect this huge commando setup and tower and stuff. The competitors have to do some crazy jackie chan/bruce lee/van damme/cliffhanger . Its amazing that one person can do any single one of these things yet alone many of them. the course is so hard that sometimes noone makes it to the end. It seriously tests everything agility, flexibility, stanima, strength, breath-hold-abiltiy etc. The prize money is getting pretty big now so olympic athletes and compete.
anys it definately needs to be included |

syncronized swimming is actually really tough and ill give it to them
synconized diving on the other hand is retarted,.. diving is enough as it is,..
equisterian should be eliminated too,..
and the Steeple chase is the best event in Track n Field,.. its soo fun to see those guys have to climb over the hurdle after like 10 laps around :),.. well maybe its more fun in high schoool meets when they actually do really have to stop and climb over them,..:D |

rythmic gymnastics - spinning around some silk or throwing and catching a ball is hardly a skill - i could do as well with a toilet roll and a coconut
does anyone from the uk remember a show called We Are The Champions?
the olympics should be more like that -
top show!! |

| Definitely equestrian. The horse should be getting the gold medal for doing all the work! |
