Olympics Sports

[SeagullEd]

Which ones would you draft in and out for London 2012....

Out:
Football (I think the olympics, for whatever spose is there, has to be ultimate goal)
Tennis (same as above I suppose)
Rhythmical Gymnastics (fannying about with a ribbon )

In:
Netball
Squash
More cycling

Perhaps an F1 meeting? Not sure though because a bit of a contradiction to my above argument.

Is this another "Which fixtures should be out?" thread?

The Olympics - replace a sport - North Stand Chat

Flipping heck!

I did a search just to check if this trhead had already been done and got nothing...

 

[Lord Bracknell]

F1 won't ever make it to the Olympics, of course.

But it's an interesting type of sport to consider ... one where the concept of a "national team" has completely disappeared.

agreed, lets get the downhill and 4x mountain biking in as well

thats 4+ more medals in the bag snorted !!!!

But is the same not true for tennis?

Nadal and Federer are brands, not representatives of countries (in my opinion).

Squash would be a terrible sport for the olympics, you can never see the damned ball.

There is a good shout for bringing in netball and maybe even cricket 20/20...two more sports largely played in the Commonwealth and in few other countries...how about stoolball?
