Personally I am prettty sick of the judged events that don't use replay...Gymnastics, diving..etc...
They need to figure out a better system for the gymnasts, divers and figure skaters because these judges are corrupt, incompetent and suceptible to politics.
Sychronized Swimming, that gymnastic stuff where a lot of girls do stuff with a ribbon, Equestrian.
Add: Rugby
speedwalking.
c'mon, just jog for christ sakes.
the speed walking is cool, I like that. take out trampoline and add bass fishing
basketball
Table Tennis.
I mean come on, PING FREAKIN PONG????
Add Rugby or golf.
The horse thing. Jumping over stuff...
equestrian IILL??? :p
Yes T Park equestrian...i just wanted to see who would figure out what i was talking about.
Does anyone really watch it?
Woman Events.
Sequ better watch it there!
If ever there was an argument that something sucked 100% total ASS, the fact that Pooh digs it is proof positive.the speed walking is cool, I like that.
another sport that needs to be eliminated is softball !
come on, now, have you seen what the distances are to the outfield fences are ?
200'-220' !?!?!?
that's the same measurements as little league baseball !?!??!
a pop-up winds up going out for a hr ?!?!?!
if i want to see a bunch of "carpet-munchers" (with the exception of j finch, & c osterman, of course) running around, i'll go to ancira sports park !
Softball is awesome stfu!
come on iill ...
the pitchers only throw this softball about 70-75 mph ?
i used to play men's fast pitch softball, and when we played, we were facing pitchers from new zealand, australia, canada, etc., that would throw this ball at about 100-115 mph, and with the fact that these pitchers would check in at about 6'3" - 6' 6", when they would finish their delivery, they would, practically be in your face !
and the outfield fences would be at least 275' to 350' !!!
If ping pong is in the Olympics I think foosball should be too.
Um, no.i used to play men's fast pitch softball, and when we played, we were facing pitchers from new zealand, australia, canada, etc., that would throw this ball at about 100-115 mph
show me a guy who throws a softball at 100 miles an hour,
and ill become his agent and have a MLB team sign him to a 15 million dollar contract.
Cause hed throw that MLB ball at about 130.
Ummm No Taz...wtf are you smoking.
I was a 4 year Varsity Softball player in high school. I had to learn how to pitch at 16 because our two pitchers suffered season ending injuries.
I will tell you this pitching underhand is DIFFICULT AS ! Show me one dude that can pitch that fast. Your exagerating out of your ing mind!
Baseball pitchers are able to pitch at higher speeds because one they are standing on a mound. Secondly its much easier to throw a ball faster over hand than it is under hand.
The way you pick up power pitching underhand softball is through your arm and hips. Plus ur not standing on a mound. Granted you are closer to your batter than you are in baseball.
But Softball is not as easy as you may think! Sorry...
I say running should be eliminated....
We all know the black man is gonna win.
Duff,
Jeremy Wariner...
Well no one has thrown a softball faster than 90 MPH and no one has thrown anything at 115 MPH ... so I'm going to have to call BS at that one.
