Olympic Sport

Olympic Sports There are several sports in the OL; I would like to see banned, let us take winter sport, 50 kilometres cross country on skies is to watch a paint drying if you are cornered in a room, even worse 10 thousand meters on skates, around and around they go will they ever get to the finishing line? Summer sports, some men throwing a plate onto a field to how many meters they made; and people with an iron ball doing ditto? In Roman time one tried to hit a slave, which did the sport interesting, as it is now it is boring and has no entrainment value. Then you have synchronized swimming, wriggling feet above water if it is done right according to the expert, everybody gets a gold medal and we the public are none the wiser. We must make the sport relevant to the way we live today, ski board is a good beginning and chasing sharks in the Atlantic and flying through the air as Batman is entertaining because they can hit a bloody cliff any moment and if you only have safe sport there is no point watching it.
