Sports that shouldn't be in the olympics

Maynehead

I think instead of golf they should have a long drive competition. Much more in keeping with the spirit of the olympics.

Babones

They should have 'staring'.

I'd love to see darts get added.

Imagine the fat British pubbies, going against the fat American pubbies and the fat Russian pubbies.

Football is interesting as it is the chance for a team made up from all the GB Nations (and NI)

Which will be cool to have Wales and England playing in the same team, and maybe Davis from NI. Could make up for the lack of Scottish players by having a Scottish manager?

What do Wales need England for in this situation?

This is what the olympics committee should ask themselves.

The triple jump is plain stupid so it should go. Along with rhythmic gymnastics, golf, tennis, baseball, 400 metre relays, pole vault, shot putt, triathlon ....

Football was ok when the teams were amateur. Well, except for the Soviet bloc countries where any decent footballer joined the army and was thus an amateur. Even though they played in professional leages the rest of the time.

We should have things that are quintessentially Olympian in their spirit:
1) vote rigging
2) stadium construction worker maiming
3) drug-taking

I like to see keepy-uppy added to the list of Olympic sports.

It's always annoyed me that we have 89 varieties of gymnastics, but football's restricted to the 11-a-side game. We could also have:

1) 5-a-side
2) 6-a-side
3) penalty shootout
4) keepy uppy
5) head tennis
6) 3-and-in.
7) one-touch
8) don't know the name but you can play the ball as many times as you like in your own half but can't go over the half-way line. Obviously it's a small-pitch game.

I'd like to see combination sports like chess-boxing to be included.
Javelin-netball is my favourite.

Oooh - oooh!

We could add casual sexism as an olympic sport!

Anything which requires judges to decide which is their favourite is not a sport to me. 

Fastest, furthest, highest, most points scored are sports to me, ice dancing, tumbling, and mucking about on bits of gym equipment are not. 

Basically did you beat them or not?

Part of the score achieved in trampolining is derived from how high you can bounce.

Also don't forget, it means people such as Zita Frydrychová can be seen competing (don't worry, she's 24)
