If one drowns, do they all have to?
If they want a perfect score.
That was the answer I was looking for.

What a stupid event for the Olympics.
No shame in their game. It's about marketing and not athletics
Since the Olympics want to showcase endurance, why don't they have a contest of individuals holding their breaths under water?

you can add break dancing to curling in the winter olympics as the two dumbest olympic sports of all time.
Souse you, curling us actually pretty good to watch.

any so called sport that a maid could dominate due to that persons ability to sweep with a broom is NOT a sport. but if you like it that's okay too.
Maybe so, but I'm all for making cheerleading an Olympic sport. A women's sport, for actual women.duff el pud said:

If we are taking 80s movies to the Olympic sport level, someone needs to rewatch "I'm Gonna Get You, Sucka!"
The opening scene had some great events!

Running, jumping, throwing, wrestling, etc.
Competition that requires measurement, timing, or scoring is directly in the spirit of the original founding of olympics.
How does diving fit in with any sort of practicality, other than just the wow factor (like a beauty pagent)?
There were tribes in Greece?
Seems like a version of shuffleboard. Riveting, I'm sure.Ag_of_08 said:Detmersdislocatedshoulder said:
