Symbiotic Hat Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I'm just sick of all the judged events. If you can't have a clear winner either by time, distance, or points, etc., then it shouldn't be an olympic sport.

sdb815 Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I watch table tennis. and you do know there are more than a billion people over eastern asia love it, right? Yeah, perhaps that was a bad example. The fact remains that there are simply too many events. Maybe they should limit the events to sports that require intense physical training by the athelete. Gymnastics, track and field, weight lifting, etc. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/207985-sick-of-watching-the-olympics/page/2/#findComment-584423422 Share on other sites More sharing options...

a1kashur Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Why is that in some sports (swimming) you win medal like in every round or something, but in others like basketball, field hockey you play 8-10 matches to win one frekin medal.

Djmutik1013 Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I can't stand the Olympics or any Sports For that matter. It just does not catch my interest. I like politics more.

Bwizzel-B Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Why is that in some sports (swimming) you win medal like in every round or something, but in others like basketball, field hockey you play 8-10 matches to win one frekin medal. Swimming, for the most part, is an individual sport. There are relays, but in all cases there are multiple rounds to determine the final field (like track). Then the finals determine the medal positions. Actually, it's like that in *all* of the Olympic events. Most sports at the Olympics have both team and individual events. Team only sports like basketball, softball, etc. are actually the exceptions.

QuarterSwede Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I love the Olymipcs and I don't even like sports (except for Baseball and Rugby). I think it is neat to see many countries and cultures come together to compete. And goodness, the abilities of some of those athletes is incredible!

ozgeek Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I watch it. Ha. Australia won gold and bronze in cycling. Anna Beaves lives in Gracemere (about 20 km away from me)! so it was good that she came 3 for Australia.
