Shame on you, Karren!!! Gymnastics is only the best sport EVER! lol!
I'd say ice hockey to get back at you, but that would be a lie. lol!
I think hurdles are stupid. Who thought that one up? "Hey, we've got a bunch of people trying to run faster than each other...let's put stuff in their way! Muahahaha!" lol.
Darla, I'm not exactly fond of curling either. I watched some of it during the last olympics w/ a friend because we were trying to figure out the appeal of it...never did.
I don't care for any of the throwing sports...or table tennis
. Of course I can appreciate the talent of all the athletes, but not all sports are audience friendly
olympic boxing is trash. the scoring and refereeing is so screwed up in it. no consistency at all. most of the time it becomes a track meet as the guy who is ahead just runs around the ring so that he doesn't get hit any more and wins.
oh, and i second the synchronized events. especially diving...

As if running round and round the track isn't hard enough they have to go over hurdles and through pools of water!
For me it's probably sailing though. Even though atm Britain are doing quite well at it I can't bring myself to watch it. I find it very hard to cheer on a boat being blown around all over the place.
I really don't think softball should be an olympic sport. And I agree about curling, who came up with that crap? LOL
My sister was telling me that she has seen some sport where they ski down a hill and then shoot something at the bottom. Anyone know what that may be??
I think the whole thing is so boring. I'm glad that all these atheletes have made it really far and excelled well beyond other but I can't get myself to sit there and watch it. Its like football to me, just give me the scores so i know who wins lol.
It's good for a laugh though. Where in the world do people play curling though? I've never seen it in person and never heard of it till last years Olympics.
Ok SUMMER olympics only please!!! Hahaha. I actually love curling almost as much as ice hockey!!
Ohhh. And add I really really hate team rymthic gymnastics!! A flock of girls floppin around on the floor, waving ribbons and throwing stuff!! Come on? That's a sport?
Not compared to sliding a stone on ice and whackin the ice with brooms in front of it??
lol Karren. actually, it is a sport, it takes some training to make sure you won't punch your partner with your stuff. and it's so much fun when you see the gymnast didn't catch it...
i don't really like olympic games, they bore me to death.
Rythmic gymnastics is also...ew...I agree with you Karen, there's almost NO point to it. I prefer when one single person does a routine on the floor WITHOUT ribbons and other random stuff.
And probably my least favorite summer Olympic game would be...sailing? I don't really see what's so special about sailing. Also, from 1900-1920 Tug-of-war was an Olympic game! XD
