i have said in past occasions that OG are political games for the gov'ts and certain big corporations. OG is the best and most marketed game as we know it.
Yeah! Maybe they have horse events in the Olympics because of one of the main sponsors/official restaurant McD's. I mean, McD's and horses have a long history... (Google: McDonalds hamburger horse)
since equestrian is an olympic event, can we ask for F1 event in the olympic? how about motorcycle race....? hm.... how about rat race?
that good idea is already taken by the calgary stampede, the olympic of Rodeo http://cs.calgarystampede.com/events/rodeo/events-and-rules/
IMHO, other questionable events: - synchronized anything - BMX (that's right, BMX... shouldn't this be in the X-Games?) - trampoline
IMO, any sport that has to do with judges judging the athlete's performance is questionable. also, modern pentathalon is kindof... no longer modern. More like 19th century pentathalon - it needs to change too.
They should replace some of these "judged" sports with competitive eating instead. This way we can watch and pretend we're participating at the same time. To start, they can use those hamburgers...
I hate synchronized swimming. Not because less athletic but that make-up, robotic like moves. If the judgment has anything to do with look of someone facial or body figure then it is subjective and should call this beauty contest instead. This include gymnastic where young girls are put on such an adult like make-up.
They take their eating "sports" very seriously. Check out: I.F.O.C.E. (International League of Competitive Eating Major League Eating W.L.O.C.E. (World League of Competitive Eating) BTW, there are only 43 days to the World Hamburger Eating Championships in Chattanooga, TN. Prize money of US$50,000! I can't wait Dang, if the U.S. gets the Olympics in 2016, could we expect Competitive Eating to be part of the menu?
Can't imagine how the countries will hold national selection to decide reps in OG. X: Hey, heard you got a gold medal. What competition? Y: Olympics. X: Wow, that's great! What sport? Y: Eating!
what about poonah? think that's a good explanation of it too Badminton was known in ancient times; an early form of the sport was played in ancient Greece. In Japan, the related game Hanetsuki was played as early as the 16th century. In the west, badminton came from a game called battledore and shuttlecock, in which two or more players keep a feathered shuttlecock in the air with small racquets. The game was called "Poona" in India during the 18th century, and British Army officers stationed there took a competitive Indian version back to England in the 1860s, where it was played at country houses as an upper class amusement. Isaac Spratt, a London toy dealer, published a booklet, "Badminton Battledore - a new game" in 1860, but unfortunately no copy has survived.[2] (WIKIPEDIA)
Olympic horses fail drugs tests Hahahahahaha. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/olympics/equestrian/7574220.stm
Oh no, I wonder how many athletes ate hamburgers while competing. They better test themselves before unknowingly being tested positive.
