What are your favourite Summer Olympic sports?
Which ones do you think should be dropped from the roster?
My Faves:
Swimming
Diving
Artistic Gymnastics
Volleyball
Athletics except the shotput/hammer throw
Events I think should be dropped (disclaimer, I'm not saying these do not require incredible amounts of talent, dedication, hard work, etc...I just think that if the Olympics were to streamline these should be the first to go):
Equestrian
Shooting/Archery
Handball
Softball
Table Tennis
Speed Walking
Sailing
Shotput and Hammer Throw
I'm on the fence about fencing. *snicker*

I think it will be back, not sure why they're getting rid of it. Maybe it isn't competitive enough?
If that's the case they should probably get rid of hockey too since there are only 3 or 4 countries that are ever any good.

Oh a KP thread. In the soccer ball forum, nonetheless.
My list is similar. I am torn about trampolining and synchronized swimming.

I am torn about trampolining too but I'm a sucker for aquatics so pretty much all the aquatic events are safe from my lolympic wrath.

Nice save, KP. Nice save.

I think Individual sports are better for the Olympics than team sports with the exception of rowing. They should be amatures, not paid professionals. They should only be able to do two Olympics. They should actually be born in or a legal resident of at least 7 years in the country they represent.
Having said that I do enjoy the hockey.
things to keep:
aquatics (without polo)
Athletics
boxing
cycling
artistic gymnastics
Judo
pentathalon (includes fencing and shooting here)
rowing
triathlon
weightlifting
wrestling
Adding Skydiving
