I don't think I'm good enough at any of those to qualify. I missed my window when they didn't add video games back in the mid-1980's.

Corrupt and irrelevant event is corrupt and irrelevant.

Everyone's all excited about watching Peyton Manning in the decathlon, but we already know he's going to win.

I've never heard of any of them.

I predict controversy judging surfers. Shark risk should be factored into the scoring, also to keep the event pure there should be no drug testing.

Those all sound good except I am not sure what sport climbing is.

Would like to see water skiing added.

I don't know what sport climbing is, but my initial hunch is that it'll be more interesting than the other five combined.

If I could add six sports, they would be:

Sport climbing, whatever that is.

Dodgeball.

That Japanese sport where the defenders keep a pole upright while the other side launches human waves at the defenders.

Falling without a parachute into a net

Chariot racing with fighting

World War I aerial dogfights

I would add Buzkashi, the national sport of Afghanistan. The term "Buzkashi" means "goat-grabbing", which you can probably see why it has earned such a name:

Is this serious or sarcastic? If serious, what is it you like about competitive skateboarding? Do you follow it? Are they talking about the same kind of skateboarding they have in the X games?

I would consider adding skateboarding if it was a downhill race and the contestants could hit each other with large jousting sticks. Otherwise, no.

Skateboarding

What a ****ing stupid sport for the Olympics.

Why not take out Karate and just do what we all wanna see and put MMA in there instead?

but nope...gotta have Skateboarding. I guess they have to relate and reach out to all of the mouthy pimply faced teens who can't play real sports and slurp mountain dew and energy drinks all day. Thanks Tony Hawk and Rob Deerdick for promoting these douche bag sissies all these yrs. **** your video game and DC shoe line too.

Want to see a group of idiots that rival the gathering of the Juggalo's?... just go to your local skate park.

Most sports are fun to do and boring to watch. Skateboarding and those snowboard half-pipe things take that rule to the extreme. Those are actually less interesting to watch than golf, and I never thought any sport would be less interesting to watch than golf.
