Ice skating and this new slope style boarding are both boring as hell.

It's kind of funny how competitive it is for a sport to be included in the Summer Olympics, but for the Winter Games it's like they struggle to come up with events.Tiernan;1577451 wrote:Ice skating and this new slope style boarding are both boring as hell.

I can't stand to watch judged events. Has to be timed or head-to-head for me to care. Can't wait for hockey! Though it's all gonna suck pretty bad with the 9hr difference.

Not even sure where Dominica is but their two athletes bought their way into the competition with "charitable" acts. What a crock. The Olympics are so tainted anymore.

Kyrgyzstan - worst hats ever. China - they cloned one athlete 50x.

Only difference between athletic dorms on a college campus and the Olympic village is the quality of athlete.ccrunner609;1577763 wrote:I have always heard that the Olympic village is like a huge orgy. Man that would be fun
Most athletes (male or female) are whores.
I can picture you drinking a Zima and painting your wifes toe nails while watching the opening ceremonies. Did you enjoy watching the figure staking last night?ccrunner609;1577822 wrote:I think Russia just knocked it out of the park. Opening ceremony was a fabulous look at Russian history and culture. not bad for a 3rd world country.

IMO they should move some of the events that are NEVER done outside to winter Olympics. I would say gymnastics, but that is too popular/similar to ice skating for ratings purposes. But moving things like weight lifting or some of the "fighting" events such as boxing or whatever martial arts they have would work to even it out.gut;1577459 wrote:It's kind of funny how competitive it is for a sport to be included in the Summer Olympics, but for the Winter Games it's like they struggle to come up with events.

I agree. Wrestling/martial arts/boxing and even weight lifting could be changed to a winter sport.Fly4Fun;1577852 wrote:IMO they should move some of the events that are NEVER done outside to winter Olympics.

Having the same amount of secks as you would be a let down. Fortunately I don't have a commitment because her kids ain't mine.ccrunner609;1577869 wrote:and then I get to have secks with a real women. How was your night?

True, but that would interfere with all of the professional leagues' schedules. I know its the same way with hockey but people don't seem as fussed about that. I suppose they could move wrestling to winter since it seems like the IOC doesn't appreciate the sport as much as they should. I don't think they could move badminton/ping pong/martial arts as the Asian countries would throw a fit.Al Bundy;1577893 wrote:Basketball is actually a winter sport, but it is played in the summer games.
