truthfully

If your "sport" involves a judge giving you a score...its not a sport, its just entertainment.Unfortunatley some people think this crap is entertaining and that it should be in the Olympics. Diving, gymnastics, sycronized swimming, artistic gymnastics...Come on! I wanna watch somebody beat someone else with out a judge deciding. Cycling, swimming even speed walking has a winner

I have to agree. I also think that sports that you can do while drinking a beer should not qualify as sports. . . ping pong, golf, bowling etc.

I couldn't agree more. The olympics are bloated with lame events.

Equestrian? Sure it takes a skilled rider, but the horse is doing all the real work. I have no problem with equestrian competitions, just keep them out of the olympics.

Anything with the word "synchronized" should get the boot. NBC showed synchronized diving - as if diving isn't lame by itself.

And do the olympics really need so many varieties of sports? How many paddling/rowing events were there?

I can't believe they get so many cities/states/countries to vie for hosting The Games. It's dang expensive to build all those venues. If you don't have a river nearby you've got to build one for whitewater kayaking/canoeing. Crazy.

OK, rant over. But I probably still need a hug.

I did both diving and gymnastics, talk about pain. Those chinese and aussie divers had like 1% body fat. But the judging always sucks, always has, always will. Hey, at least they are getting ride of baseball.
