[FAX]

I think mens gymnastics is because the men in tight tights just gets my mind stirring.

Where's the damn poll?

[DaFace]

Didn't you see the warning? This thread is bound to get deleted.

And I have no idea what all out there qualifies as an Olympic sport. Of those I have watched, I'd probably have to vote for curling.

[Calcountry]

Discus.

You said it yourself....discus.....or is it diskis, or diskus.....hell, I don't know.

[Direckshun]

I've got to say the Biatholon.

Skiing and firearms? Please.

[Donger]

Midget toss.

[beach tribe]

It's discus. Duh. I feel dumb.

[blueballs]

river skating and shooting a crossbow
at dense foam mountain sheep

I've got to say the Biatholon.

Skiing and firearms? Please.

Both are useful skills. But curling? C'mon, that's purely retarded.

[Skip Towne]

It's discus. Duh. I feel dumb.
And rightly so.

[banyon]

Rhythmic Gymnastics.

I have no idea what that's about.

[kcfanXIII]

curling, not only do i not get the sport itself, but why on earth does it take up so much tv time?

The dumbest game ever invented by bored Scots.

[Fire Me Boy!]

They're talking about making poker an Olympic sport.

What better way to ensure that i'll give even LESS of a damn about the Olympics.

[Extra Point]

Anything without a clock or a measuring tape, that includes judgement of the performance (like ski jumping), is not a sport.

Ski jumping: If the jumper lands without touching his/her hand or ass on the snow, makes a good jump. Why factor in "how" the flight/landing is made, when the physics of jumping and landing dictate the distance?

Two exceptions, although I don't really consider them olympic events: baseball and softball.

Nothing is more boring than sitting thru events like ice dancing, figure skating, snow board half-pipe, mogul skiing, gymnastics, and diving; but this stuff is crap that consumes most of the air time.

I'm just too old-school.

Agreed.

I kinda understand the shuffleboard aspect of the game but how does one go about becoming the guys who follow it with a broom?

They must not be blessed with the same INCREDIBLE range of physical skills as the shot-makers.
