They should send all these nonsense sports to the winter olympics...and leave the real sports in the Summer olympics.

[tippy]

don't be ridiculous. it makes me laugh how some people are feting being able to run fast in a straight line ffs.

try hitting the water at that speed and tell me its not a sport.

they should bounce all sports that a 3 year old could do blindfolded from the summer olympics

[realtrouble]

Nan the sport with horse they bother me, will the allow Nigerian to do equestrian with malu

[ohenhen1]

In my opinion events that only have a few countries participating in it, should not be an Olympic sport. Diving should be dropped from the Olympics.

So you think only a few countries take part in those sports?

4I9 should be a sport.

They should have various categories as well.

Nigeria would win 7 Gold, 2 Silver & 1 Bronze.

Some of the events could be "The Nigerian Prince" "Show & Tell" "Identity Fraud" "Maryam Abacha" "Nigerian Prince relay" "Seduction"

The problem is we might not even be good at that once it becomes an olympic "sport". Corrupt govt officials will steal the funding necessary to succeed and other countries would therefore be able to steal our best "athletes".

Seun Aboshokoto laments the state of 4I9 in Nigeria

"Those days, we used to do yahoo yahoo in the morning, in the afternoon, even in the evening, now we have not qualified for most events. The laptops have not arrived, the internet connection is not there, we have to use mtn mobile phone to train for the events, it is a sorry sight. Now even Oyibo pipul wey we suppose call maga, dey hustle us small. The thing don tire our athletes. Even when we hammer sef, dem go thief the money"

Abama Barracks speaks about the changing game

Abeg make una tell awon oga pata pata, make dem find some money, make we chop small"

Dogonyaro Barawo Jnr comments on the connection issues

"It is not good at all, at all. I was even lucky, I was beating that russian boy, Dimitri. I trick one oyibo woman, she was sending me the details, I was good for the bronze medal, when all hellfire broke loose. Nepa take light, the thing sef dey confuse me. How nepa fit take light for Rio, when na the same light wey all the boys dey use. I just found out that the delegates who outnumber the athletes 10 to 1 were overloading on the supply and using it for internet shopping. So that was a missed opportunity. The Russian got the Bronze and I was disqualified. Anyway we give God the glory"

Dancing is a sport.
There are championships in many disciplines e.g. 10 dance, ballroom, rhythm, latin,smooth etc.

...not if those countries are in-charge and has voting powers at IOC, diplomatic powers, even military power if u try any shiit. Go see the UN.

[Ipe Grams]

Nigerians complaining cause they not good at any sports.

[Riversboy]

My rule of thumb is that all sports that require judges for points scoring are suspect at the Olympics.

By the way, this includes wrestling and boxing. Boxing is saved because the judges are merely deciding if there was contact or not, and the amount of points awarded for said contact are fixed and objective. However, if they bring the professional 10-point scoring system to the Olympics as they are threatening to do, I would be yelling for boxing to be removed.

to me the horse deserves the medal.

that should be automatic gold for us

I think they should ban so called sports that require judge scoring. i.e where the viewer doesn't even know the score until the judges post them,
