I think it is ribbon gymnastics. That is so not a sport.
Marina…I forgot about that one…. LOL
Did you know that they added tanning (as in sun/salon) as a new Olympics sport?
Table tennis…I mean, since when is a glorified version of ping-pong a sport?!
Modern Pentathlon is odd to me. It’s fencing, shooting, swimming, running, and horse jumping.
Simone….Wow! Sounds like the perfect sport for someone w/ mulitple pesonality disorder.
It would awesome if they combined all five of those into one event.
You ride horse, in a pool, you get a sword and gun and you have knock they other guys down. That would be awesome!
LOL! That would be awesome!
There’s some controversy, though, because it’s impossible to achieve gold or silver.
Synchronized Patty Cake. Also Men’s Sword Fighting. No, I don’t mean fencing
@snoopy—Sounds more like a sport for ADD sufferers.
@ Kevbo – AWESOME! At first I thought you were joking about early Doonsbury cartoons where zonker was a professional tanner. Then the punch line. Great one.
@ Marina I agree. Foolishness.
@ simone I like the way you think.
Indoor Table Tennis… AKA ping pong.

Steeplechase, it’s race that horses do but for people.
