The Olympics now include women's boxing, beach volleyball, and tennis.  Fair enough, these are all legitimate sports that require atheticism and skill.  But who invited these guys:

Synchronized swimming: The object is to look like two mannequins being thrashed around in the water by a hidden, underwater puppet-master.  Sorry, but doing the robot dance in water isn't a sport, it's a form of mental retardation.  And any activity that includes glitter on your face should be left to bi-sexual discos rather than an athletic venue.

Rhythmic gymnastics:  First of all rhythm shouldn't even be a word as the second syllable doesn't have a vowel.  Webster just made a typo when he meant to spell "rithum."  Now, as far as a sport, this consists of spinning a ribbon and jumping through a hula hoop.  I'm pretty dang sure a chimp could do this, and in fact the chimp could probably do it better.  Do these women realize that when they spin that ribbon the rest of us are reminded of the little pig in the GEICO commercial, going "wee, wee, wee"?  But not to forget they also "compete" holding a ball up.  Balls are meant to be thrown or hit, in rhythmic gymnastics they compete to see who can do the best job of acting like a child saying "I have a ball and you don't."

Race walking: Does this actually require any real talent?  I'm pretty sure we've all been practicing walking since we were around 18 months old.  Shouldn't this really be called "the really slow marathon"?  And what's with the butt-clenching?  It looks like you're holding back a load, just dying to get out and soil your short-shorts.

BMX biking:  Ok, this is kind of cool to actually watch, but still it's just the same thing kids do anytime they can find a pile of dirt to ride over.  Most sports have a minimum age, this should have a maximum age: if you're beyond 8th grade you're too big to be on a boys' bicycle.  Get a 10 speed or a mountain bike.
