Best- Shooting
Worst-synchronized Swimming

Do not copy

(has to be summer)


Best : Beach Volleyball (would have done basketball but for the purposes of this TD Volleyball is fine)

For one its an exciting, fast paced, quick sport with a lot of effort and emotion.

this is just a taste, can you imaging what some of these european girls are gonna look like???




Worst: Shooting, now dont det me wrong I do some hunting and love to shoot. However; there is nothing exciting about watching someone else do it. It is arguably the least athletic event in the games. I am watching to see the worlds best "ATHLETES" compete


Basketball was going to be my fav. but i wanted to change it up, and come up with something that was different.(and I live in Pa. which is in the woods)

How is volleyball take skill when you are running around a beach hitting a ball in the air, and hope that it gets over a net.


Volleyball is a very active and in depth sport. One has to scoop the 40mph ball up, the other has to set it, then the orig scooper spikes it then its repeated (attempted) on the other side of the net. It is a very aggressive game which I enjoy. Hot chicks with bikinis up their butts aggressively going after the other. It involves team work also. The goal to work as a team (of 2) better than your opponents makes for an interesting game. Bottom line, unless your playing for backwards team there is nothing but enjoyment to get attained from watcing Womens Beach Volleyball.

Shooting is certainly a skill. However; its by no means the best or even a good summer olympic event. I think Dick Cheney should compete this year.


Forfeited Turn


So be it

Of all the Summer Game sports you came up with shooting? Shooting?!?!?!?!

I guess the marathon, 100m dash, the relays, the diving, and the swimming competitions take a backseat to those who shoot a rifle at a target.

Pathetic

I realize that shooting is part of the Olympics, summer and winter, but it's not really a sport it's a skill. Billy Joe Bob Bubba with the 52-inch beer gut (you guys know him, he's Frank's neighbot) might be able to shoot th p3nis off a hummingbird at 100 meters. That makes him skilled, that dam sure don't make him an athlete.

As far as it being the BEST, dude, get a life, or a clue, or something.

Volleyball takes a lot of skill. It's a great sport. You can play it at any level, which is nice, but in its highest forms it's extremely challenging.

Men's volleyball is by fa the most exciting. So much power and speed in the game. The only reason to watch women's is the really small shorts.
