Some of the gymnastics. Like the horse. Who thought of getting up on a long platform with 2 handles and spinning around a few times before dismounting.
And wtf is Tajikistan? |

Dressage and equestrian in general. Horses scare me.
On the other hand, fencing is incredibly awesome and I wish we got more coverage of it in America. Quote:

I think for me it would have to be Badminton. For me, thats something you play in your backyard while waiting for the BBQ to finish. Whats next, Horsehoes and yard darts as an event?

Handball and Equestrian.
I thought women's fencing was rather lame. Watching the American women face off for gold, it was just quick lunges and loud screams. I watched some men's fencing online, and that was a lot more entertaining. I also saw that trampoline is an olympic event. WTF? Though, I have to admit I'm curious, lol... |

God, handball really is a completely pointless sport. Can't swim? Can't kick a ball? Can't handle a stick? Can't put a ball in a small basket? We have JUST the sport for you! Just take this ball, run around, and throw it at a hockey-sized net with someone standing in front of it.

I watched some of that last night. It looked like a sport that might show up in a Ben Stiller parody flick.
