Why is BMX in the olympics?

Why is golf?
Why is synchronized swimming?
Why is Equestrian dressage?

I will always remember Al Green... doing stuff.

Does anyone remember that campaign on television during the late 1980 the voice over on the advertisement said in an ominous voice "do you know what your daughter is doing tonight?"

I was with friends we a used to laugh and say no, but I'm sure Al green does

Ah those were the days.

Port triple premiership. Adelaide36ers winning

If we were #1 team in the world we'd still **** it up

Every sport where the pinnacle isn't really the Olympics shouldn't be in the Olympics.

 

[Contested Marx]

Table Tennis

Not only that, but there's too many variants on boring sports.

n people in a canoe over Xm
n people in a kayak over Xm
n people in a sailboat over Xm
n people diving from platform Xm high



&c.,



Also, we have swimming, we have handball.
Why do we need water polo?

Well that qualifies skateboarding then

 

[Contested Marx]

Also Cycling.

There's an event named for every bachelor contestant.

Should be: long race outside, short race inside.

What do you think would be appropriate 'just desserts' for Zumbo

Skating's zenith is Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2

Glorified rumpus room game

How about mini golf n' video games

I feel it's only matter of time before "esports" (I hate that word) of some type are in the games.
It might not be for another 25 years, but I'm sure some sort of vidya (or whatever they've evolved in to) will be trialled at the very least at some point.
It'll be all VR by then I guess.

That would rule out Cycling I guess the road race could go but I like track cycling at the games.

I submit you cannot find a picture of him smiling that doesn't look like he's been kicked in the head by a mule.

Also, get stuffed with those brightly coloured shellack and sugar biscuits

Chariot race, footrace in full armour, swordfighting, discus and javelin or gtfo.

Wow that was quick.

Okay. Now that we are going there.

I would like to see dwarf throwing.


That could be a crossover event between the 2 games too.


Yes we can! No?

Had some particularly stroppy/bizarre/dumb callers on 6PR's sports show tonight (mainly around selection/coaching/trade matters) and I thought "**** me, is it full moon tonight?" Looks out the window, checks calendar - yes it is!

Partially agree. But we'd lose some sports that have been part of the Olympics since forever. Road cycling, soccer off the top of my head. FIFA is too strong an arm of the Olympic movement for soccer to ever be ditched. It should be a proper under-23 tournament with no over age ring ins allowed perhaps.
Golf shouldn't be there, tennis shouldn't be there. Some sports just have a "vibe" of whether or not they should be there and you can't base a ruling on a "vibe".

Do they still have fencing? Always remember fencing being at the Olympics.
