No mention of Sepak Tekraw - which is an excellent sport and would enable SE Asians (who never win anything at team sports) to excel. There is not one Olympic team sport which originates in Asia!


sport climbing -yes!


Golf and rugby sevens and sync.swimming no way. Golf is not even really a sport. It's a game of walking or riding over manicured lawns. Once in awhile a person swings a little metal stick. Zero endurance needed for golf.

    It makes a mockery of the Olympic Motto: Citius, Altius, Fortius . . . Faster, Higher, Stronger

    I certainly agree with the "higher" part. Leads to "faster" and "stronger".

    Just shows how the modern world really is going ass upward. Soon we will have who can make the most money in 10 minutes. Very sad. sad.png

    Thai Olympics: who can buy and use the most whitening cream in one day

    >>> who can tolerate the loudest pop songs for one hour.

    And yet they will allow a couple of guys with brooms sweeping an ice path for a tea kettle

    to remain an Olympic sport? Sheesh

    Wrestling should be consigned to populist viewing with Come Dancing - and you might as well stick most of Muay Thai in there as well.

    The Brits on here may remember 'proper' Saturday afternoon wresting with Mick McManus, Jackie Pallo and Kendo Nagasaki.
