    Oh yeah, that was meant to be the third one thanks DM. Trampoline is a backyard pursuit designed by orthopedic surgeons!

    All of the equestrian events....if the olympics are for horses, why not racing, pacing, rodeo and polo?

    I reckon they should change equestrian to jousting, plus no more soccer/football or tennis

    When I first saw the BMX I thought: Who let this bogan sport into the Olympics? But to watch it, it is pretty interesting to watch. There are some quality spills.

    The trampoline is a big joke.

    Rhythmic Gymnastics is alright. Those women are incredibly flexible.

    Walking. Who in their right mind ever thought walking was a sport?

    Yeah, I cheated, what of it?

    And I thought synchronized swimming deserved two votes!

    It's amazing to think, with some of the tripe allowed into the Olympics that it took,sooooo long for rugby to get back!

    Fair call, football and tennis is at saturation point as it is, no one wants to see it in the Olympics.
    They've already got the world cup and Wimbledon for those sports.

    And with the equestrian they should leave it as it is but allow a few blokes with jousting sticks to run amok jousting at will...
