Dumb Olympic Events That Need to Go! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

There are a few Olympic events in my opinion that are boring, and need to be dropped.

Curling:

I'm not Interested in watching sombody sweeping the ice with a broom to see a cheap version of shuffleboard.

Beach Volleyball (Summer Games):

Any point to why this is an Olympic event? Okay, the Bikinis are nice for the guys, but come on!

This event needs to go!

Any other event that you know of that should be dropped?

Curling is interesting to watch, but to consider it a sport? an olympic event? NO! it may have been at one point (way way way back in the dayz when there wasn't much as far as sports) but I can't believe people practice, practice and practice this to win a gold medal. This is an insult to real sports!

Yeah, I don't see why volleyball should go. It's a competitive sport and it definitely takes talent to be at an Olympic level.

Come on!

I think curling's kind of cool. Not that it is a diehard sport or anything but the curlers definetely amuse with with all their screaming of, "Ahhh! Harder!" Way to take a shuffleboard like game and make it sexual, imo.

Hey, the prospect of BEACH volleyball is the only thing that would convince me to tune in anyway!

How about a thong bikini contest. That would make a good Olympic event, right?

Well they might as well have a "Nude Chick" contest like they have on TQS TV here in Montreal every spring.

Only difference is, NBC might edited all the content out for their primetime coverage.

Equestrian shouldn't be an Olympic sport unless everyone's wearing a bikinis!

Curling is completely lame. I watched a little on USA Network about 4:30am yesterday morning and it was so boring.

I agree with you, Jess. I used to not see the big deal in curling, but then I watched it in Salt Lake and got so hooked. I was wondering what they hell they were using brooms for lol, and just kept watching. Now I can't wait until they start showing the events on NBC.
