Olympus
[Sorry, but I just can't resist...] First, it was the pairs figure skating in Salt Lake. Now, the gymnastics in Athens. Oh, and the diving. Syncronized swimming?
Hey, folks, maybe some people like to watch, but... isn't it time we got rid of judged events in the Olympics? I mean all of them. Anything that is not won by a time or a weight or a distance or a finish order, points or runs scored, or some objective measure - get rid of it
Either that or throw it open to some other subjective competitions. How about Olympic poetry slam? Yoyo? Olympic stand-up comedy? Rock guitar solo? Best-actor-in-a-supporting-role gold medal? Juggling? Great skills all, but are they worthy of the Olympics?
