Synchronised swimming: it looks daft.

[betty swollocks]

It just does.
Anyone who pursues an athletic discipline to a high standard is worthy of respect and I truly admire their level of dedication, skill, fitness, teamwork etc. - I really do.
But, synchronised swimming just looks plain daft - the way they all bob about with their legs waggling around and then emerge the other way up grinning inanely from ear to ear.

In fact, as sports dictator, I'd get rid of all sports whose results cannot be exactly and precisely measured ie all those whose scoring system involves 'style' and 'artistic impression'.

That's my rant over..........

Thank you

It looks less daft than synchronised diving, who thought up that one.

Gymnastics, with ribbons and balls etc - daft!

I misread that and thought you said 'driving'.

I daren't Google it in case there really is such a thing......

what about speed walking! Just a load of people waggling their bums.

What a waste of time, if you want to go faster then run.

I was scalped by a speed walker once
I thought sync. swimming was there so olde pervs officials could ogle at young girls thighs.

Yes, some sports just look a bit silly. I mean, that 'beach volleyball' when there isn't a beach nearby. It makes me so angry I'm just going to put my 3hr beach volleyball dvd on, so I can get it out of my system.

Wha's silly about it?

Nothing silly here at all

 

[Night Train]

You could say the same about dance.

How about running backwards??.Its agreably less stressful but if you ended in a Emergency room............................All i'm trying to tell is that this world is not built for daft stuff.

Yes,i know.Nobody likes that.
