Olympic sports that should be gotten rid of

[Stifle Tower]

Anything where a floral arrangement is involved--whether handed to the winners, used as decoration, or placed as a distraction directed towards horses.



Edit: I haven't seen an actual floral arrangement, but assumed there would be some somewhere. And they do hand flowers to many of the event winners, which seems contrived and un-sporty somehow.

And carrying this over to Winter Olympics, any sport which causes fans to throw stuffed animals to the participants, especially male participants.

Good point. That said, I also don't think ski jumping has any practical application to real life. I always feel a bit awkward when I see that.

On the subject of winter olympic sports...who was the first luger to approach another guy and suggest a two man luge. "Dude, if you get on the luge in skin tight spandex and I lay on top of you in skin tight spandex, maybe they'll let us in the Olympics!"

The Chinese like ping pong better than baseball because that's only sport they got room for to play growing up.

A ping pong table's square footage is twice as big as the average person's living quarters over there. That's a fact.

Yo, I watched synchronized rythmic gymnastics todays and that ish was excellent.

I thought synchronized swimming is hilarious and for some reason I had an easier time watching water polo than any kind of soccer event. It's probably fine the way it is because women would watch it as well.

However,
I want to see UFC-like fights between countries with each country using their respective fighting styles. Thai-kickboxing, Japan-karate, u.s.-mixed, etc. That would be awesome.

Have you ever played water polo? The hardest sport to play endurance wise.
