diving is cool to an extent, but imo they are just way to excessive in nit picking the most minute errors. It looks like theyre desperately trying to make it a competitive sport, by pointing out what needs to be perfected.
The ty part is, THE perfect dive, doesnt look much different at all to the average dive. It does to the judges, coaches, and commentators, but to 90% of the watching audience, its all the ing same. |

imo the only sports that should remain from what exists today in the olympics are:
archery
athletics
basketball
beach volleyball
boxing (one of my fav's)
cycling track
gymnastics (NOT including trampoline! :whip: :whip: :whip: )
swimming
table tennis
taekwondo
tennis
triathlon

Old human traditions, no matter how stupid, are as hard to get rid of as quackery in medicine and superstitions taken seriously.
I am not sure which events should be excluded.
If anything, there should be more gymnastics.
(I am a fan of Carly Patterson, Catalina Ponor, Simona Amanar, Svetlana Khorkina, Shannon Miller, etc. over the years. :D )
mongeone: I'm with you on those competitions, it sounds like a real test of the indomitable human spirit. What are they called, specifically? |

Swimming and track/field aren't in the olympics necessarily because they require skill but because they demonstrate how far an individual can push his/her body to the limit.
If anyone have ever tried playing serious tennis or badminton you will realize that its not an easy sport. It definitely belongs in the olympics.
Sports that need to be excluded:
Trampolining - WTF?? This don't belong.
Beach Volleyball is pretty retarded. Its more of a recreational pasttime
Handball. This gets my vote for weirdest and dumbest sport ever. |

Let's see some Breakdancing too! That requires skill, endurance, coordination, and a good sense of gettin' down.
Oh... what about DANCESPORT? :haha:
(aka ballroom dancing)
And... what about synchronized raving. I guess you could have one event cover radio edits like the 100m and another one done to a full DJ's set, 2 hours (approx.). Obviously someone like Tiesto could represent the Dutch (since he has Olympic experience) ;). |

Agreed with the people that think the horse events should be taken out.
I think the olympics are missing some kind of obstacle course type race like the thing they used to have on Krypton Factor. It would surely improve the Events to People-Falling-Over-And-Hurting-Themselves Ratio. :D |
