Just by watching it for 2 minutes, I cant get the images of people punching the air and making fake sound from their mouth to impress judges. Cant get myself over the question "what's the point of this sport?" and it's killing me. it's like watching The Ring, once you watch it you are done- now I need help.

Lol precisely. I was watching the Turkey vs hk bronze medal match and thought wat was that about? I thought it supposed to be one vs one duel.

. Someone mentioned it's like they are doing a choreography against an imaginary opponent lol. Doing kill moves against air.


To be honest the artistic swimming and gymnastics are far more of a sports requiring alot of fitness, endurance, flexibility and skills. And it's much more pleasant to watch for viewers. Even golf is better and I hate golf.

Dragon boat is basically rowing but with dragons. What's not to like?

I wonder why it hasn't been incorporated into the OG yet. I believe the idea was there long ago.

Wushu too. If karate can get in surely Wushu should too. I mean martial arts began in China, Wushu is so nice to look at and has more variety. Beijing Olympics had Wushu exhibition but I dun know why there is no progress after that.

When we see sanda, power lifting (bench/squat/deadlift), 15 m diving, 25 m rifle, etc in the Olympics, then we know that Chinese soft power has already won.

15m is scary. 10m itself is borderline crazy. I actually went on top of the 10m platform before . There is no way you can pay me to dive from there not least having to do those twists and somersaults. I hope those kids dun have to train higher than that. 1m springboard should be included though. It's in the world championship I think. China does well in those too.

Heck it will be great if dragon boat racing becomes an event. Sure beats break dancing.

Better not make it am Olympic sport. I remember the embarrassment we had suffered when our local Chinese association enter into a dragon boat race and came last on three occasions. Lol

Could you imagine the ridicule and the mocking from the western MSM? Also it is a cultural heritage to honour our Nobel politician that made the supreme sacrifice. So why do we want to give the west more ammunition to turn it into an embarrassing ridicule.
