The Olympics have added far too many "sports." There is no reason to have golf, tennis and soccer in the games as they each have many big tourneys every year. Trampoline = joke. BMX bike racing--biggest joke ever. Giving medals to 12-year-olds. Skateboarding and frisbee are coming--one can only laugh. I think the idea is to keep the games relevant for kids who aren't athletic at all, which is why they are doing frisbee and skateboarding and bmx instead of the pole vault, long jump, cycling, the 100 meter hurdles and other real events.

I agree completely. Track and Field, swimming, gymnastics and literally almost every sport have world championships every single year. The Olympics should just be stopped altogether. It's worthless.

Trampoline was extremely impressive. Not sure what you find non athletic about bike racing or skateboarding. Perhaps you really haven't moved from the chair in a while.

My submission (That I can't believe wasn't listed already): Synchronized Pole Dance 18+ contestants only please

The should add demonstration sports before they add "medal sports." I don't mind if they want to feature skateboarding and frisbee (what???) demonstrations, but to award medals for these?

Frankly, the IOC is corrupt. The entire committee should be subject to intense investigation. Members who so much as tinkled in the wrong toilet should be dismissed and banned from future service. Passing an intense vetting process should be requisite for service. The transparency requirements should be such that no one on the committee can hide anything, not even what they had for breakfast and with whom.

Once the IOC is purged and remade anew, I'd like to see high performance canopy piloting introduced as a demonstration sport.

Of all the parachuting disciplines, it has the greatest draw for groups of spectators on the ground. Jumpers equipped with tiny 27-cell ram-air fabric wings exit the aircraft at around 5k ft above ground level. They descend in a pattern, performing twisting turns in sequence to build up speed, leveling out at the last second to scream past at speeds around 70 mph inches above the ground/water surface, contorting their bodies, dragging their feet, navigating through gates, etc. Also, the biffs can be spectacular (deadly, if you're a dum***s).

They should add a hot oil venue just for the ladies. Hot Oil wrestling, hot oil dodgeball, hot oil volleyball...... Anything that involves them in skimpy bikinis getting all oiled up.

Seriously though, they should look at the X-Games. Add skateboarding and bmx. Watching some of those wild tricks is entertaining.

Also, I'm still trying to figure out how ribbon twirling is a sport? I don't get it.

Think gymnasts with boobies or acrobatic dancers with props. Otherwise, google "Picasso's blue period" while rhythm gymnastics is airing.
