I just saw trampoline jumping for the first time ever at the Olympics and fell in love with it. I loved watching the athletes getting some serious air and doing the most amazing flips, all while keeping their bodies under control in such a small area. It was fast paced and just thirlling to watch. Take a look at this guy from England do his thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdPI50E0Zdo So which is your favorite sport? |

I don't really have one, i just have a fairly long list of "sports" that really shouldn't be in the Olympics, bad minton comes to mind.
And I wish that they would add MMA, I mean, it's practiced all over the world, why not? |

Shot put, actually. Right up along with discus, javelin, and hammer throw. I did track in college, these were my events. Alot of people find these events simple and boring, but understanding all the nuances allows me to watch them with enjoyment some people just couldn't understand. |

It requires fast reflexes, that does not make it athletic. The events with the horses prancing around are even worse.
Just because something is difficult doesn't mean that it belongs in the Olympics. |

I usually watch a bit of everything, dont have a favorite as such. Now if Rugby and Cricket became olympic events then that would be a different story. |
