How can you possibly want to get rid of track and field? They're some of the most important summer sports.

ski jumping. Why the hell does this even exist, let alone as a professional sport?

Curling. Yeah I'm looking at you Canadianfags.

All fencing should be epee.

I find all track and field disciplines extremely boring, but that's me. Maybe getting rid of female athletes (or find some who are actually hot) would be enough.

The problem with Olympic TKD is that even the highlight reels mostly show the pathetic repeating kicks that would get you no where in full contact fight sports.

You're an idiot. If you want "full contact" sports, then go watch UFC or something. If you want to see crazy foot work and jumpkicks, then watch TKD. It's two totally different sports.

As to the topic at hand, I never got the point of curling.

half-agree. Long track speed skating deserves to stay in, it's effectively the winter equivalent of track and field running.

Short-track speed skating is fucking retarded though. And figure skating practically speaks for itself.

Olympic Committee doesn't.

So, which is worse: Ice skating or ice dancing?

Given that the Olympics are big business, expect to see Olympic texas holdem, Olympic hotdog eating, Olympic motorsports and Olympic videogaming soon.

Compare Olympic TKD to Olympic boxing to see what I'm getting at. Olympic boxing may not be full contact, but the rules are designed in a way to promote good technique. The rules of Olympic TKD on the other hand are seemingly designed to promote horrible technique and to make people facepalm.

I don't know about replacing anything, but the fact that rugby union isn't an olympic sport is weak.

It's fairly big in Europe and the South Pacific, surely they could at least squeeze in a 7s tournement.

Does the Olympics really need both freestyle and greco-roman wrestling?

all the boring ones should be replaced with nothing so that the olympics will no longer exist.

they should just replace the point system with first-blood rules.

Thank you

rugby union used to be an olympic sport....but we are talking about almost a century ago. And funny enough the reigning rugby union gold medal holders....

USA

I do know that rugby has been explored as a possible developing olympic sport, but given the intensity of the matches, and the length...the possibility of Rugby 7s has been highly touted.

7s would be a great choice for the olympics because unlike the union code where the 6 nations/tri-nations dominate the world cup....7s is a more egalitarian code where even smaller nations regularly compete on the global stage with the traditional powers. And with the reduced time of the matches, and high scoring typical of 7s...makes it a great choice for the olympics

Get rid of track and field sports.

Man that shit is boring

I don't understand the complaints about track and field. I find baseball more boring than track&field, but I don't care if it's part of the Olympics.

Get rid of figure skating. It's not a sport. It's not even a game. It deserves to be in the Olympics about as much as a piano contest does.

Olympics aren't necessarily all "sports".

We should just stick to getting rid of figure skating because it's dumb.

It should be all sports. Figure skating sets a precedence for non-sports in the Olympics. Some day I can guarantee an Olympic ballroom dancing competition.

I think there already are ballroom dancing competitions in the olympics, although they're presentation events instead of medal-winning onces.
