Hey man, how could you leave out inline?

For shame. hahaha And I thought bowling was in the Olympics. Isn’t ping pong that same as table tennis?

i think they’re really adding Golf next time… hmmm. that oughtta be interesting. hehehe. i never really thought of it as an olympic sport.

Ping Pong IS in the Olympics! I guess you have to be a slacker like me and be home during the day to see it.

I thought for sure your next 10 on Tuesday would be ‘Ten Favorite Olympic Moments.’

Yes Denizzy is correct, ping pong is in the Olympics, however they do call it “Table Tennis”. They also don’t broadcast the matches until about 3AM, of course which I set my alarm to get up and watch because it’s simply amazing (and reminds that even tho I play ping pong every day, I still stink!)

um, ping pong IS in the olympics. the problem is that they air it at 4am…bastards!

What cracks me up is there was a move afoot a year or two ago to put freaking BRIDGE in the Olympics!

Next up: Monopoly. After that, strip poker. Heck, let’s put quarters. Americans would sweep the medals.

Still haven’t figured out why they won’t add inlining. But then we’d not be getting all those great inliners over to speedskating! Bungee Jumping? In skinsuits?

In my paper, in the spot where Ron Judd’s camping column usually is, it was suggested (in jest, of course, as everything is around here) that “hiking” should be an Olympic sport.

Blogging!

Then we could create a complex scoring system the judges don’t even understand.

Rugby actually was an Olympic sport until 1924. It wasn’t readmitted to the 1928 Olympics due to the IOC’s desire to “focus more on individual sports.”

However there is also a theory that,because so many more female athletes were starting to compete in the games at that time, the IOC removed some of the less-popular team sports to make room for them.

So… . there’s your random rugby factoid for the evening. Why yes, I did work for our rugby team while in college, why do you ask?

I stand corrected - table tennis IS a sport in the olympics. As is the triathalon.

Welcome, amandarin. Thank you for that rugby fact! Now instead of campaigning to bring rugby to the Olympics, then I can campaign to bring it back!!!

dragonboating should be in the olympics. =) I’m hoping it will be an exhibition sport come beijing 2008!

I’m all for bowling & rugby. Maybe a little disc golf action?!

Yeah make inline an Olympic sport people! then maybe, just maybe, Apolo could be in both winter AND summer Olympics! whoo hoo! lol. Wishful thinking.

Yano, if you ever need a random rugby fact I’m your girl!

Or maybe darts they’ll add in the Olympics, haha. Or frisbee golf, or surfing or water skiing, or jet skiing or, or or um, i ran out of ideas.
