Even Horsey-Strictly? I feel I'm it's only advocate on here!I don't mind any of them being there.
The ones that require judges
Nah, no way! I understand boxing. Like boxing. Maybe people understand gymnastic dancing(liars), but I don't, so it doesn't count!!! Get rid!My problem with that is, does that include boxing and the other pugilistic events?
You might claim that judging in those sports is more objective, but people more knowledgeable than me regarding boxing will say there is a large degree of variation in the judgement.
Yeah, that's what this has boiled down to hasn't it? Very few people have said sports that shouldn't be in the olympics, most have just said "sports I hate"Nah, no way! I understand boxing. Like boxing. Maybe people understand gymnastic dancing(liars), but I don't, so it doesn't count!!! Get rid!
Yeah, but its for sports and darts isnt a sportI think most "sports" where the result is judged by a panel is already on dubious ground. Which leave a pretty empty schedule as I've dumped most gymnastics, boxing, diving, horse dancing, skateboarding and quite a few others. On the plus side I would bring back target javelin chucking (I believe in the Ancient games) and introduce darts, snooker, downhill mountain bikes and quite a few other skill and scoring based disciplines.
Couldnt we combine downhill cycle and darts. Now theres a sport!Like some enlightened people have already said. Darts, snooker and downhill mountain biking should be in.
I'd take out the walking and the one where they dance about with a ribbon on a stick. Both seem completely pointless
Anything that involves animals.
They keep adding sports , but isn’t it time ( like motor boating, I kid you not) some we’re dropped
My Choice
Dressage, medals won by family and friends of the various Olympic committees.
Got to say the horses are beautiful but it shouldn’t be in the Olympics.
4X100m?Golf. BMX, Baseball, Beach Volleyball, Football, Skateboarding.. none should be in the Olympics imo, no teamsports that's for sure.
Athletics, Swimming, Weightlifting, Gymnastics and then maybe the combat sports.
Teamsports should have no place in the Olympics imo
BMX and Skateboarding is like getting a medal for playing out.
Not good for carbon footprints I guess. Should do what they did in 1956: Melbourne hosted the games, Stockholm hosted the Horse events.Equestrian . . . seems wrong to be carting horses around the world, Although they will be doing it for World and Euro championships as well.
