Climbing is absolutely a sport, have you ever seen someone who is good at bouldering? It's highly technical and takes a lot of skill. Badminton is undoubtedly a sport as well and arguably so is surfing but that should probably be in the X Games instead. The rest are definitely meme shit though; golf (literally defined as a game not sport like darts, shuffle board, or Uno), fucking breakdancing, skateboarding - none of these are real sports as there's no objective way to compete or measure success.

Pretty much this. Olympics have been falling out of grace with younger people who now know this event is a globohomo waste of time and taxes. Only boomers still care about it. They're desperate to keep the event alive and it shows by adding a lot of meme sports both to try to attract zoomies and to let irrelevant countries farm medals and feel special for a brief moment.

They should just go back to the basics and keep the original sports which actually mattered.

>>142874141
they are entertaining but the criteria for judging is stupid as fuck. Theres no actual rational for the way runs and tricks are scored. It's all based on bullshit. X games. Street league. Olympics. It's all sick to watch but the actual scoring makes no sense. Even in events put on predominantly by skateboarders like street league are ripe with scoring controversy. There's so much nuance in extreme sports unless you just doing like who can jump the furthest or highest it's always gonna be fucked. Sports like ice skating and gymnastics work though, give skateboarding 100 years and maybe they'll refine the scores a bit and maybe it'll work but also it's just so fucked scoring skateboarding tricks and runs. Snowboarding suffers the same shit tho and succeeds so honestly idk where I'm even going with this at this point.

Try talking about sports at a climbing hall and the folk there will know nothing. Miserable experience there. Was told how bad motorsports are for their CO2 footprint and how football is breeding ground for facism. The whole thing is done by autists who never deserve to be included into olympic games. The underlying activity may be fine but the practitioners are a disgrace to sport. They have taken the crown from cyclist as athletes that hate sports in general.

With it using a "shuttlecock" you just know it's a British creation

the modern game of badminton developed in the mid-19th century among the expatriate officers ofBritish Indiaas a variant of the earlier game ofbattledore and shuttlecock. ("Battledore" was an older term for "racquet".)
Olympic debut was 1992 Barcelona

The Olympics tv broadcasts are shit and have been for a long time now (even Canadian tv).

The last good broadcast for the Olympics was Montreal in 1976 where it was all-sports-all-the-time regardless of which country was better whereas since then, well over half the time is wasted on vacuous talking-heads babbling on about irrelevant bullshit nobody cares about, like the athlete's family back home or local vacation spots, etc. Early rounds are completely ignored and we're lucky to get 5mins of the gold medal round if the event isn't dominated by the U.S. team, while boring shit like gymnastics and ice skating is spammed all day long because air head soccer moms control the tv these days.

hey man whats wrong with golf.

>>142939118
I guess it's the fact that people who are not really athletic can still be very good at the game. Yeah, someone athletic can gain an advantage by hitting long drives, but someone with impeccable iron game, short game and putting can still beat them. If you really want to make it an athletic competition, it would have to be long drive.

Only one I don't get is curling in the Winter Olympics. They show it a lot on TV too

It's embarrassing for humanity

I think that stays in because the inherent absurdity of it all is cosmically necessary for the Olympics to function.

>>142871206
badminton makes you sweat. Even though it's gay, I'll allow it. Surf/skateboarding/ climbing are solo sports. Sure they make you sweat. But the whole competition element is non essential to the activity itself. Golf doesn't make you sweat, ergo not a sport.

of course that ((they)) could manipulate it like they did in tokyo

I think we are not too bad but not very good either. Chances of medal, but low chances of gold.

Water polo uses the most muscles of any team sport
Canoeing is a great fun watch
Field hockey is a legit women's team sport and Rhodesians never die
Golf already has a gazillion more meaningful competitions
Handball is the worst team sport but not the worst Olympic sport
Climbing is surprisingly based and a good inclusion
Beach volleyball is certified kino and you must be a fagot

3x3 hoops, breaking, skateboarding, BMX, and surfing absolutely are not Olympic sports. X games is fine. Mountain biking is not my favourite either but I guess it's not as bad as those truly egregious ones.

one of the top sports in the world by following
>>skateboarding
great fun and extrememly popular with young kids, it was a good addition
>>climbing
possibly the most sportsmanlike atmosphere at the olympics, perfecly in line with the olympic spirit and great fun to watch on TV
>>breakdancing
ok this is a meme, but it's a one off so who cares
>>surf
see skateboarding, except it's also in fucking French Polynesia, worth it for the venue alone
>>badminton
like 2B people practice it in SEA

>>142871292
>>Water polo
what the hell is the problem with waterpolo? it's a super traditional olympic sport
>>3×3 basketball
bit of a meme too, but it's more fun than watching the US steamroll everyone with roided up NBA players
>>Canoeing
also here i don't understand what's wrong with it, also long standing olympic discipline
>>BMX freestyle
see skateboarding
>>BMX racing
just a good old fashioned race, don't see the issue
>>Mountain biking
see BMX racing
>>Field hockey
popular in South America i think? anyway also this one is long standing

the olympics are meant to showcase minor sports, not jerk off over the same 3 sports you watch all year every year
in fact, they should take football out and bring back some dumb shit like tug of war or polo

decently popular in Northern Europe, like waterpolo i understand you personally aren't interested but it's a well fleshed out and complex sport

Good times. I made my dad setup a net at home afterwards it's a fun game
>>
>>142968767
Swimming could be s tier if it was simply all freestyle and not having 4x as many events due to every meme style having their own categories. If swimming backwards is an event then running backwards should be too
>>
Soccer needs to be replaced with futsal. Having the event every four years gives years of experience advantage/disadvantage to some players which is a lot in youth. And it's impossible to limit it to amateurs because even in small local leagues players can get hundreds of dollars per game. And the best players will never want to play when there is always the clash with Euros/Copa and generally having too many games in a season already.Women's soccer can stay because that's still a meme sport regardless of whatever hype and money they're given. Futsal is perfect for the Olympics though and it's really stupid they haven't included it yet.
