Which Olympic events do you dislike

[Uninformed]

Which Olympic events do you dislike? Which ones would you add.


I'm not a fan of the ring toss. It is fine at the amusement park, but not so great as an olympic event. Perhaps, they should place some bottles off in the distance and see who can toss the ring over the bottle. Then they can flip the bottles upside down and see who wins the gold.

Actually, I think cat toss would be more entertaining.

As a new event, maybe some rodeo events would help. Seriously, why is ring toss an event but bull riding isn't?

Handball. That is a sport they play where? and why? I guess it would have been fun in elementary school when it is raining outside and you played Crab Soccer the day before.

That is the one sport I think that I could do to a level to not be embarrassed by those people with some practice. Not now but when I was younger. I know I would have to put in lots of time to practice but yes, I think I could have played that sport. Swimming, track, other things, no way in hell.

The ones that are judged; all of them.

Don't be so judgemental.

Least favorite: Synchronized everything followed closely by BMX. Palease!

I would add slow pitch men's softball.

I'm not a fan of the rally scoring in volleyball. They should go back to the old way with points only won on serve.

Long distance walking. It's insane that walking is a sport - and it takes hours to finish the stupid "races"

Equestrian. I mean...are the people actual athletes?

 

[l00p]

Wahoo, I agree. But I have heard somewhere that it takes more energy or something to do that than a marathon or something crazy like that. Their training is intense. But they look goofy

walking does take up more energy.

Honestly though, there isn't much I want removed, I just want to not SEE so much of them..
According to NBC, these were the swimming and gynastics world championships.... screw everything else....

Get rid of ALL the judged sports....


SARCASM.... I can't wait 2 years for the figure skating!

I want to add some events the average HornFan poster can compete in, with a good chance of gold.
These will include sampling different items at tailgates, and judging them for tastiness; most beers from around the world consumed; and a motorsports event, driving through the postoffice outside mailbox lane at top speed and tossing your letters in the slot without slowing down, which I will personally dominate after years of perfecting the technique.
There was only one event that actually made me switch channels completely away from the Olympics, and that was rhythmic gymnastics. Well, anything synchronized, as well. I got pretty tired of regular gymnastics and diving, too.
