Most Ridiculous Olympic Event?

[Q Classic]

i don't mind shooting, badminton, table tennis, and archery.

i think all of them are more deserving than say, trampoline, rhythmic gymnastics, ice dancing... horse dressage doesn't exactly seem deserving, either.

Forgot trampoline. Yeeee gods. Rhythmic gymnastics too.


Horse dressage?



I'm ignoring the Winter Games for now. There are so many made-up sports in the Winter Games, I wouldn't know where to begin.

What else are the horses going to do? It's not like they're too big on tennis or triple jump.

Winter games have cooler sports.

I love hockey, speed skating, or downhill, slalom, and cross-country skiing. But damned near everything else is... marginal, at best.

The olympics should be as they were in ancient greece, except with (naked) women competitors also allowed.

AND NO MEDALS FOR 2nd AND 3rd

curling

Ah c'mon, this has to be in, where else are the british going to win somekind of madal.

Noone is going to mention weightlifting for hmm 'girls'. Them ****** are scary looking creatures.

[Imran Siddiqui]

how about horse dressage. How ridiculous is that!!??

Um... how about not at all? What is wrong with a horse event based on the style of riding? It's like horse gymnastics. And besides, any event created by a military is, by definition, not ridiculous .

Then go to new-york and see if you can buy Boris' couch.

I'm only interested in the winter games. Summer is for sissies.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Winter games are for wusses .

Hands down. Nothing else is even close.


The following "sports" need to go: sync swimming, sync diving, shooting, table tennis, badminton, race walking.

I'm up in air about archery.

Nah, the point of the Olympics was supposed to be martial sports - so keep shooting in.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I can't understand why ANYONE would want to get rid of sync diving after watching it... added to that table tennis and badminton definately need to stay!

[Alexander's Horse]

synchronised swimming!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It gives me the horn though so I don't mind if they keep it
