    It's kind of funny how competitive it is for a sport to be included in the Summer Olympics, but for the Winter Games it's like they struggle to come up with events.

    I can't stand to watch judged events. Has to be timed or head-to-head for me to care. Can't wait for hockey! Though it's all gonna suck pretty bad with the 9hr difference.

    Not even sure where Dominica is but their two athletes bought their way into the competition with "charitable" acts. What a crock. The Olympics are so tainted anymore.

    Kyrgyzstan - worst hats ever. China - they cloned one athlete 50x.

    Ok Nepal has taken over the worst hats title

    Only difference between athletic dorms on a college campus and the Olympic village is the quality of athlete.
    Most athletes (male or female) are whores.

    I can picture you drinking a Zima and painting your wifes toe nails while watching the opening ceremonies. Did you enjoy watching the figure staking last night?

    IMO they should move some of the events that are NEVER done outside to winter Olympics. I would say gymnastics, but that is too popular/similar to ice skating for ratings purposes. But moving things like weight lifting or some of the "fighting" events such as boxing or whatever martial arts they have would work to even it out.

    I agree. Wrestling/martial arts/boxing and even weight lifting could be changed to a winter sport.

    Having the same amount of secks as you would be a let down. Fortunately I don't have a commitment because her kids ain't mine.

    Basketball is actually a winter sport, but it is played in the summer games.

    True, but that would interfere with all of the professional leagues' schedules. I know its the same way with hockey but people don't seem as fussed about that. I suppose they could move wrestling to winter since it seems like the IOC doesn't appreciate the sport as much as they should. I don't think they could move badminton/ping pong/martial arts as the Asian countries would throw a fit.
