Name 5 Sports you'd like to be removed from the Olympic?

There are so many events in the olympic, and you'd have to agree that some of them MUST go. Say your opinions on what should be removed and never put back in the future olympic?

My pick is:

- Equestrian

- Synchronized diving

- Synchronized swimming

- Trampoline

- Rythmic gymnastics

What's yours?

    I like them all! Why not give those who excel in a particular sport the opportunity to show their "stuff".

    Yeah, I don't get why equestrian events are in the Olympics. Last weekend I watched this BS called eventing dressage. The horse pranced around the arena for 10 minutes. Now how is that a human sport? You may as well have dog agility and obedience be an Olympic event.

    Anyway, I love synchronized diving. Synchronized swimming is silly, but I love watching it.

    I think yours are all good choices other than equestrian as the horses are marvelous and you never know what one may do. I would agree that beach volleyball should go but only because of the unbelievable obnoxious DJ that they have there this year. If someone took him out with a sniper rifle, all would be good. I'm not real nuts about judged events as there is the political factor involved, which has always seemed to rear it's ugly head....most notably in Salt Lake City when that French judge sold-out.

    I must admit that trampoline is riviting as it takes some cojones to do that. One false move and you are a soprano.

    I agree with you about Synchronized swimming/diving & Rhythmic gymnastics. Another event that should go is Men's and Women's Race walking in (Track & Field). What's the point of that!

    Everyone has their own opinions, but sports are only removed from the Olympics if they start to falter in international popularity. That means all sports in the Olympic Games are still relatively popular internationally.

    My pick is beach volleyball. Most of the professional beach volleyball players, including Misty May and Kerri Walsh, would rather play indoors. Indoors volleyball is cleaner, with strong jump serves, hand setting rather than bump setting, hard hitting rather than tips, and some strategy when it comes to play-running. The only reason beach volleyball is still alive professionally is because indoors volleyball is more difficult to set up professionally, as it requires at least 6 players on a team rather than just 2.

    Paintball is a test of ability akin to any Olympic pastime. it would desire to be slightly of complicated to be seen into the Olympics despite if. yet while there might additionally be Olympic Wrestling (If there might additionally be I have no concept in spite of the shown fact that there have have been given to be) then i've got faith there have have been given to additionally be Paintballing. I mean, they each and each are actual no longer consumer-friendly and are against an extra.

    horseback riding IS a sport you try staying on to the horse when they jump that high! At one point the horses back is almost straight up and down, and all you have to hold on to them is your legs. You need to be strong to do that. the horse and rider are both athletes

    ok, then how about all of the people that are giving me thumbs down jump on horse and try it themselves. you would fall flat on your face all sports are challenging, and everything in the olmpics is a sport. All these people spent years training so give them a chance

    1. Baseball

    2. Softball

    3. Synchronized swimming

    Those are the main 3. Jeez what's with the thumbs down? Baseball should be taken out since it's a sport born in America, and most countries around the world don't even play baseball/know what it is.
