Water polo by Far... But I think the olyimpics are mainly showing that How much our country is Better then yours... I wouldn't be suprised of 2 piss ant little counties got so pissed at each other if they Suspected Cheating they Invaded Each other and Started a Meaningless War over it. -------------

Bingo. It really is an awsome sport. You may all thinkt hese events are stupid, but if you see the dedication the players put into it, you will understand why they are such great events. Besides, any sport played by the Scotish has to be good, right?  ------------- Real Men play Tuba [IMG]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1859/newsmall6xz.jpg"> PH33R TEH 1337 Dwarf! http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/log_off_user.asp" rel="nofollow - DONT CLICK ME!!1 |

Your kidding about the solo sync swiming right? How would that work? I can't take speed walking seriously, when I first heard of it I thougt it was a joke. I understand that all Olympic athletes deserve respect for their dedication and hard work, but I think some of the events are a little weird.
And is curling the sport where they push a stone on ice, then brush a path for it with brooms? I'm sure that actually participating is diffent, but it is quite possibly the most boring sport to watch. ------------- Your gun chops balls. & nbsp; |

It is kind of fun in some weird twisted way. Its like golf, decent to play, horrible to watch. Same with bowling. Curling does take talent though. |

i think badmitton is pretty boring, but speedwalking is just incredibly stupid.

I miss the truly great sports that never made it into the Olympics but were covered every week by The Wide World Of Sports. Games like cliff diving and barrel jumping (for those of you too young to remember, this was done on ice skates without much of a running start). What about Boche ball? Lawn darts? Croquette? I would love to see Olympic Simon Says or Marco-Polo. I bet there would be a great turn out for Dodge-ball. Curling. That's a good one. The only sport where you can practice all day and never have to worry about your beer getting warm! ------------- The sky darkens. In the distance you can hear the roar of the A-5.

That would be awesome. "The official simon." I never understood marcopolo. Watch people chuck balls at each other with a force so hard they get thrown back. -------------

Speed walking is more of a sport than anyone will realize. You have to go heel toe, which is a very difficult and those people get going pretty fast. Sincronized swimming I can kinda see that, but the sport that really ticks me off is equestrian....It pits horse vs. horse, not man vs. man, which is the dumbest thing of all. |

Synchronized diving. Not necessarily the dumbest, but wins anyway because it was just added four years ago. We have a zillion dumb sport in the Olympics already, and somebody thought that synchronized diving was important to add??

Does the US even have a curling team? Does anyone want to start a curling team? Is it even called a team? Or do they just call themselves "curlers"? It looks fun, even though I cant skate for crap, much less brush a path for a rock to slide on. ------------- WAR EAGLE!!! |

You don't use skates for curling... just one rough shoe and one smooth shoe. Curling is fun, though. It's like bowling - it looks kind of goofy, but you can't help but having fun doing it.
