A gold medal for squabbling in the playground.... where's the Olympic mud-wrestling for the perves who like beach volleyball... armchair sports just aren't the same anymore.

Oh, the old chestnut of the relative merits of sports:becool:
At least with Dressage there is some kind of obvious back story to it, ie. the ability to manoeuvre a horse in close quarters combat.
Daft Olympic sports imho included butterfly/breast/back strokes - they're not as fast as front crawl so why bother?
Triple jump - come on, it's just silly.
etc etc

According to wikipedia the triple jump was around at the ancient olympics so it's probably got more right to be there than many other sports.
