Guest Nanks Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 Take out equestrian?? Get bent, it's one of the most highly skilled sports in the Games. Thinking through the list of sports it's one of the only ones that not just anyone on the street could compete in. I can swim laps, I can run, I can jump, I can throw shit, I can hit people, etc, what I, nor the majority of people can do is make horses change speed in a controlled manner, change their leading leg mid-stride, walk backwards or jump over odd looking obstacles when they could just as easily walk around them without landing in water.
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 If they have field hockey they should have roller hockey. PS. I play roller hockey. PSS. I would never make it on the team.
Guest Nanks Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 An Olympic competition where countries send representatives to shoot at each other!!! Genius!!
spiny norman Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 Good point, they should use real guns.
Guest Nanks Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 Too expensive. You couldn't provide each nation with even cars.
Kahran Ramsus Posted August 18, 2004 Report Posted August 18, 2004 Squash. It is in the Commonwealth Games, and it should be here too.
Hogan Made Wrestling Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 Squash. It is in the Commonwealth Games, and it should be here too. Oh, good call. Something else they should have is a tour-style cycling stage race, that lasts the whole olympics.
LooseCannon25 Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 The hell outta here with that DodgeBall garbage Oh, um, hey what about Kickball guys...What is this kiddie sports? Give me Kickboxing
Australian Pride Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 Darts - no fitness required so even a fat bastard has a chance at winning in it. TenPin Bowling - it's been in the Commonwealth Games, why not the Olympics?
the max Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 Olympic Kickball would fucking rule. *guy's shoe flies off* "Oh what a tragic story. He's waited four years to get to this game, overcome numerous leg operations, and it all ends with the illegal shoe flying off maneuver " I'd tune in.
Australian Pride Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 They just said on the radio that a survey was done on which sport should be in the olympics, and the winner was the 'Tug-of-War' with 18% of the vote. Apparently it was an event at the olympics until 1920.
spman Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 Roller Derby Competitive Eating The Joust Atlasphere The Wall Powerball and Human Cannonball
Guest MRK Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 Didn't Matsunaga try to get hardcore wrestling as an olympic sport?
Highland Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 Have you seen those hackeysack players from Thailand? They play it with teams on opposing sides of a volleyball net and it's fucking nuts.
Guest croweater Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 I think that Rock climbing would be a realistic and worthy addition to the Olympics. That shit be hard.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 I'd watch olympic arm-wrestling.
chaosrage Posted August 20, 2004 Report Posted August 20, 2004 Haha. Turn on MSNBC now. When did speedwalking become an actual olympic event?
Guest Kid Kablam Posted August 20, 2004 Report Posted August 20, 2004 Squash. It is in the Commonwealth Games, and it should be here too. That and racquetball.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted August 20, 2004 Report Posted August 20, 2004 Haha. Turn on MSNBC now. When did speedwalking become an actual olympic event? 1932 for the 50k walk, and 1956 for the 20k walk.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted August 20, 2004 Report Posted August 20, 2004 Yep. The 50k walk is longer than the marathon, at 31 miles and change. The 20k walk is a much more manageable 12 miles.
chaosrage Posted August 20, 2004 Report Posted August 20, 2004 I hope everyone got to see it. It was the funniest thing ever. If power walking is in the olympics, we should be able to get dodgeball easily.
Guest TJH Posted August 22, 2004 Report Posted August 22, 2004 IN: Squash Rugby OUT: Women's superheavyweight weightlifting (don't ask) Men's beach volleyball
Guest AllCanadian Posted August 22, 2004 Report Posted August 22, 2004 I hope everyone got to see it. It was the funniest thing ever. If power walking is in the olympics, we should be able to get dodgeball easily. Walking a battle of attrition usually half to field get's Dq'd for bendning their knees or something. Poker definatly needs to be a demo in 2008.
