Football and Tennis. I've always felt that they have no business here.
Which sports/events do you think should be dropped/included?

Haha, same with diving. It's fun trying to play guess the Judges scores, but it's also easy to be way out because you missed some subtle nuance or something.
At least with diving you can judge how they enter the water, you can also know what dive they are going to perform.

Agree with squash actually. Intensely physical game that is superb for the Olympics.

drop football, tennis, any dancing **** with ribbons, and the dancing in water, golf when that arrives.

I used to fence at school. It's chuffing hard work and it bloody hurts.

I was watching fencing on the telly today, might pick it up once im finished with ironman stuff. Thats the épée division which was on today, the foil and sabre stuff sound more manly.
Squash is a good shout.
Speed rock climbing????
waterskiing?

Sabre is with the blade, foil with the point and épée is with both. I used to do foil.

Wow..didnt know that wakeboarding might be in with a shot. Wouldn't want it in tho, olympics isnt a adrenaline/extreme sport event, X-games for that. Yes I mentioned waterskiing in the other post but I guess thats slalom not big air which is very different.
I can see the karate or squash winning that list.

Yea that was what I was thinking...bit longer tho, and different every time/progressively harder.
Thought of another thing we could have....Ninja warrior.

I think anything that has massive international tournaments, stuff like football and tennis, shouldn't be included as they already have enough coverage and money.
I think archery and shooting is fine as it is their only time to get some attention. It shouldn't be just about how much of a sport it is, as shooting takes a lot of skill, but also if they deserve some support.
