United States wins it’s first gold medal. In Mixed Team Curling, how can this be considered a sport. Who plays this janitors at ice rinks. Maybe for the summer games add Team Corn Hole or Beer Pong

It's more of a sport than figure skating (IMO). If something is judged, it's just a "contest"...a sport has to be measurable. To make figure skating a sport, they need to see who can do their routine the fastest....would also be much more entertaining.

When I was in college we found a curling league in Austin, mostly it was a bunch of old people. But we found it an entertaining reason get a good buzz and talk sh!t to folks our grandparents age. Funny thing is they always initiated the sh!t-talking and were rather good at it.

Mr. Corder would freeze the hallways and Mr. Head would be his partner. lol

Agree...unless they turn it into a sport. For example, who can the door the floor routine the fastest or on the vault, see how many flips they can do before they hit the mat.

Agree with that. All competition. Who can do the most flips in a row on the mat? Who can go around the uneven bars the most without stopping? Who can hang from the rings the longest? Who can vault the furthest? Superb ideas. Precisely...would make for great viewing!

And non-subjective. Anything that is non-objective(ie judged instead of measured) should be thrown out. If you can't prove you dominated your opponent, you didn't. I like how you make gymnastics better. Stuff on ice would be furthest jump, throwing your partner competition, fastest spin without falling.

How about have a coaches olympics. All the races and such. By the way, Ski jump isn't the correct naming. Anybody can go down hill off a dang ramp. It needs to be ski landing.

If you watch closely, they do jump off said ramp. I do like your particular spin on this one.
