I mean.... figure skating? Come on.......

Speed skating? Pffft. I'd rather watch Hockey.

And all those floor mat somersaulting 9 yr olds? Wtf?

Downhill skiing? Now THATS exciting. Same with the Luge and Bobsledding.... and snowboarding (I guess)....

but the rest of it is crap.

And dont even bring up 'Curling'. That has to be the dumbest thing ever. I'm thinking the olympics need a little UPDATE as to which sport is in, and which gets kicked out. We should have mudwrestling, more skiing, more anything really fast down a hill, and ...hrm... I >GUESS< the gymnastics stuff would be ok if they were allowed to wear bikini's and...eh.... ... well. Ya know.

[Agasthya]

wow.

mudwrestling, that has to be the dumbest idea for an Olympic sport ever...I personally don't watch figure skating but its quite popular...I think it gets the best TV ratings in the Olympics. And curling requires a lot more skill than you think, so shut the hell up.

[RAzaRazor]

You're an Idiot.

[juanvaldes]

You want to talk about the olympic's and gay did you not see the 2.5 hour intro?

Caught it on the Daily show (don't give a rats ass about the olympic's myself, got to much shit to do) and they had a retarded theme "light the fire within" or some shit. Had a whole figure skating show the reminds me of 'anything disney on ice'.

That ran on forever, then when the nations teams finally entered the announcers where just slamming everyone else. "this country is part of the axis of evil" (so they are from the USA huh? ****ing bush, but that is another thread) and just all around not being courteous to anyone else it seemed. Too much ****ing politics for me, its' all corporate sponsors and sleeze bag bureaucrats now, not a sporting event.

[onefinger68]

Pffft. A Curling defender and he's from Canada. HahAhA. Go figure. And you wonder why we make fun of your stupid ass country.

But anyway. Yeah. A lot of the sports are really STUPID and lame. I mean who honestly curls anymore? Or does javelin tossing? Or all these other weird off the wall 'old school so old school that only weird ass people do them' sports?

Get rid of the ancient sports, bring in the new ones. And lets update these damn leatards.

Yeah, but see, thats COOL.

Watching a gay man and an 80s dressed woman do circles on some ice isnt exactly of an adrenaline rush.... Neither are people holding onto plastic rings, or humping a padded 'horse' thing.

A lot of the winter sports are really ****ing gay.

They are updating the Sports. They are adding new things at almost every Olympics.

Snowboarding was added at Nagano in '98.
Freestyle Skiing was adding at Lillehammer in '94.
Short Track Speed Skating was added at Alberville in '92.
This year they added Skeleton and Womans Bobsled.

Occasionally they will remove sports from the competition, but not often.
Imagine what a kick in the teeth it would be to train in a sport for years, and then when you are finally ready, the IOC announces that your sport will not be featured. Bummer. Sorry you wasted your youth.

Also, these sports that don't seem to make a lot of sense really are more difficult than they appear.
A Biathlon skiers heartrate is around 180 BPM when they are trying to shoot a tiny target. How would your precision be under those conditions?

These sports are not all about action. They are about precision and artistry and endurance and beauty.
That said, there are efforts to moderize the events. Hell, at the Snowboarding they even had live performances by Lit and Save Ferris. A Mosh pit at the Olympics??? I didn't expect it, but there it was!
You should also realize that there is a lot more going on than what NBC chooses to show.

There is something to the Olympics that is hard to define. It's about the Spirit of the Athletes and their commitment to sport. And that is what the whole "Light the fire within" thing is about.

Cash if your don't think figure skating is athletic you are a moron but what am I saying it is a proven fact that you are a complete moron with a brain the size of my left nut. Case in point the followin post by you

you misunderstood completely. I dont want cops doing that. I want average citizens (who are GOOD PEOPLE) to become vigilantes and eliminate criminal threats. Mafia people? Dead. evil drug dealers? Dead. Rapists? Dead. Murderers? Dead. Child Molestors? dead.

If common citizens would just put their foot down and have the balls to bust a few rounds into street scum I don't think we'd have as big of a problem, however, our laws prevent that from happening. Perhaps if they had some super citizen test, or perhaps if it was just legal to kill bad people.

Male figure skating is pretty gay. If the guys didn't take the whole thing so damn seriously, it wouldn't be so gay. Maybe if you saw them on the side kickin back a few brews while the other guy is on, laughing and patting each other on the back it wouldn't be so gay. But its pretty ****ing gay. Womens ice skating is ok (I don't watch it but damn I respect it) Couple's Ice skating is ok too. I think we need to keep ice skating around however if only for the humor value involved. See, Ice skating is one of those sports that GUARANTEES that someone in the room will become a 'Couch-Judge'. Oh, you know the type...."No, with that double axel triple lutz she was looking a little shakey on the landing, she's not getting over 5.2"

Now Womens ICE HOCKEY however, thats a great addition right there, GODDAMN
those bitches can get ruthless! (and its about as close to mud wrestling as you'll ever get)

On a semi unrelated side note, you guys should really try to apply the olympic judge rating system next time you are watching porn. Rating scenes on creativity, crotchvision, sound effects, camera angles, etc. is quite amusing.

Why wouldn't they take it seriously it is something that they have worked towards for their entire lives and it is a world class competition and how do we know they don't joke around when they are not on the ice? I am not the great defender of figure skating and I will admit that some of the outfits they wear are femmy but what they are doing takes a lot of physical strength and agility. If I was in a world class competition I would be taking it pretty damn seriously as well.

I think we should get onefinger68 and godzookie2k on a bobsled and shove them 200 mph straight into the male figure skater's locker room...that'll be a good "sport".

I think they ought to modify some of the Olympic sports. Take the biathlon. It would be much improved if the competitors had to do the cross-country ski run, and then grab their rifles and shoot Ca$h's nuts off.

K, I figured out some ways to make the olympics not so gay:

Speed Skating Rollerderby: A hybrid of the two, where extremely toned athletes compete in a circular ice rink at extremely high speeds with legal punching, pushing, slicing, kicking, and anything else like that.

Demolition Bobsleds: Remember those hotwheels tracks as a kid? Yeah, something like that, where the tracks keep intersecting. Start out with about 8 sleds up top with a maze of intersecting track. Whichever one gets farthest before being obliterated wins

G string Gymnastics: All contestants are required to wear G strings and bikini tops, and they must be tanned and oiled.

Curling....hrm... I can't think of a DAMN thing to improve curling since curling sucks so much ass.

Curling can never be made "good," but maybe if it was turned into some sort of ice bowling with pins - or better yet people - that might make it at least "more watchable." But what is up with all the skating anyway? I know it's the "Winter Olympics" but does it ALL have to take place in the ice rink? FWIW, I think that "freestyle" skiing is hands down the most "watchable" sport in the games, but it gets so little airtime. If 1/2 the Olympic broadcast was just the freestyle competitions "leading up the Olympics" it would be such an improvement.

You're a ****ing ignorant retard end of story. Do you know anything about dedication discipline, or hard work? I don't think so all I hear is a dumbass blow hard who thinks he knows everything. If you don't like it don't watch it. These "queery" guys have more athletic ability that you could ever have so shut the **** up.

Is it just me or are the Olympics really gay???

Dont worry, its just you

although i agree on the whole curling thing...curling has got to be the STUPIDEST game EVER.....i cant even begin to realize how that game came to be, what a bunch of women with brooms(figures) decided to clean the ground as they throw a rock?...anyways...just my 2 cents

[shmerek]

This statement doesn't mean much considering I am a canuck but curling can be mildly exciting if it is tied and in the last end like Canada vs Norway earlier this evening. It is definitely an acquired taste but hardly a sport if you are talking about athletics but it isn't as easy as it looks.

Yes. I'm pretty ****ing good at downhill and terrain parks, waterskiing, and I'm alright in Martial arts. And at the moment I'm working 60 hours a week.

What I'm saying is that some dude in TIGHTS who spins around on ice is a ****ing FAIRY. yeah, its probably hard to do. yeah, it takes lots of practice. Yeah, it takes dedication.

You know what? Why don't you spend years of dedication, training and hard work trying to suck your own dick, then tell us about it. ANd claim that it isn't pretty ****ing gay. See how that arguement works out. Just because something takes time and effort does NOT mean its cool or good. Case in point? Stuff like this:

Claiming to alright at martial arts and downhill and working 60 a work doesn't mean you are dedicated or even any good. You aren't a worldclass anything except perhaps a world class retard if there was such a ranking. And wearing tights doesn't make someone gay you retard. I am sure most of those gay fairy skaters could kick your scrawny oh so masculin ass. As far as sucking my own dick that would make me as gay as anyone who masterbates. Perhaps you are just jealous that you can't and I am sure you have tried. Dipshit

It is sad, but the olympics have begun to suck. not because they have diversity in sports, but because of the whole corruption/commercialization thing
