Title: Re: Lamest Olympic sport... Post by: Black Diamond Vol on August 19, 2016, 05:54:56 EDT I've always maintained that any judged activity isn't really a sport. If there isn't a definitive way to score points, cross a finish line first, etc.; If a panel of yahoos deem one person better than the other, it's not a sport. If you can gain or lose points based on the attractiveness of your costume or makeup, it's not a sport. And if it includes something called a "kiss and cry area", it's DEFINITELY not a sport.
This would rule out activities like diving, synchronized swimming, gymnastics, and figure skating. That's not to say that some of those things aren't enjoyable to watch (I especially enjoy watching the latter two). Nor is it to say that they don't require some amazing speed, strength, and/or athleticism. But they're not sports. Title: Re: Lamest Olympic sport...

To me, the competitors determine the winner in a sport, not a panel of judges. Title: Re: Lamest Olympic sport...
