But if you wear lots of make-up and long girlie nails you can get away with it without suspicion.

Where is the home advantage? No wonder Romney thinks we aren't prepared.

This Lochte guy - I dont see the fuss. He got absolutely hammered just now. Didnt even finish with a medal. Sooooo
(Admitedly I dont know much about any of these olympic sports).
Actually another question - what the hell constitutes a sport? How the hell is Dressage a bloody sport? Is shooting a bloody sport? or a hobby?

A sixteen year old girl swan fast that him at the weekend.
Some sports have been on the programme for a long time and should really be removed, but since most of the IOC consists of royalty and other snobs dressage will probably stay.
Usually there are a few new sports tried out every now and then. I know bridge (the card game) has been a test event in recent Olympics. Even literature was an event once.

He's not very good at actually swimming fast. He's only good at swimming backwards fast which is completely useless really.
Swimming is ridiculous.

A bit ridiculous really. I guess the more events there are the more revenue is generated especially the toff type sports like water polo. Is Rugby part of the olympics?

Sevens is going to be on the programme from 2016. Excited for it tbh.

Rugby was. I think the US might have won the last one.
Sevens has been considered and might be in the programmer next time or the one after.
I like the idea of sevens as its a different game. I might be more interested in the football if they went for five aside. Then i would interesting and different.

What went wong??
There's also the consideration of the arenas needed. Equestrian and modern pentathlon should be taken out IMO. There has been talk of moving some indoor events to the winter games.
Triathlon was added very recently I think.

Its do with politics and what the governing body of each events brings to the table of the IOC.
Look at cycling in the Olympics for example. We have a ridiculous event the Keirin just because its super popular in as a gambling event in Japan.
Also there was a huge controversy about how the JKA may have bribed the UCI and the IOC to get it in there http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7525072.stm

They have wrestling now, I don't know what you mean. As for Snooker, it may have a shot now it's becoming a more global game, it's huge in China.
I don't see how you can arbitrarily claim some things are sports and not others, especially because there's such a broad definition as to what a sport is. IMO Snooker is as much a sport as sprinting.

What do you mean by actual wrestling? Because the actually non pre determined before the match version of wrestling is involved
