Sports that shouldn't be in the Olympics

[PaulB]

I have to say that until yesterday I was unaware that trampolining was an Olympic sport.

Me too but now we know it is and one of ours has won a medal at it, it will become another 10-day wonder and sales of trampolines will go up all over Britain.

Air pistol is bloody hard! We have a 10m competition shoot at the club and I have to rely on the excuse that I have nerve damage in both arms....

yes, I used to shoot air pistol to a decentish club standard but being left eye dominant and right handed was a disadvantage vs those that chould set up straight line of sight sights, well that s my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Dressage needs to go, I wonder how many people turned to another channel last night when it was on at 7pm - 8pm? It's for horsey purists not general viewing.

No wonder GB won a trampolining medal with the countless number in the back gardens of our Council Estates.

Yes, sales have dipped, but now they will bounce back

That has got to be good news, well maybe not the 10 day bit.

A great idea they are as well, have you spent much time on one? I thought not.

Now now, just because you don't like it doesn't mean others don't too!

Cyclo-cross should be in the winter Olympics.

Not recently, owing to being middle aged (23), as a kid yes, down at the sports centre.

Incidentally a nurse informed me that trampolines are responsible for a large number of hospital admissions for children.

*I live on a council estate too*, not that it matters. In my experience where there are trampolines in council house gardens, there is also a raised chance of chav activity.

Did the same nurse tell you about the health benefits of trampolines. Did they even mention how many kids get hurt on cycles.

No.

That strange race where cyclists follow a little motorbike at low speed for half the distance of the event needs to go - utterly bizarre.
