| How ridiculous would it be if someone created a sport called the hi-walk? It's like high-jump but instead of jumping over the bar, you walk over it. You have to keep one foot on the ground at all times. Alright, let's see who can get the highest! |

the women's weightlifting was by far the most ridiculous thing i've seen in this years olympics. bunch of manly-looking fatties throwing their gunts into the air when they're about to lift, and then when they drop it they run off the stage crying. the only thing that could have made it tolerable to watch is if they all shat their spandex pants mid-lift. |

That was what caused my post. I watched about 15 minutes of it and found myself getting increasingly furious. There should be a body fat % limit for competing in any Olympic event. And it should not be 50%.
Even then, the main problem is there's no surprise. It's not a competition. It's an exhibition. Short of a fluke, the results are determined before the day begins. |

I have watched quite a bit of the olypmics this time and I will say that the list of events in the summer games is chock full of that leaves me saying "wtf how did this become an olympic sport?" Seriously, how did some of these events end up getting included:
Badminton
Canoeing
Equestrian
Sailing
Table tennis
Weightlifting
calling some of that a sport is quite a stretch |

| They all require you to be in top health/strength/condition to be able to compete with the best? How is that not a sport? |
