Notsofast!

I read the article thinking I'd find it ... stupid and whiney.  But it makes sense.  In events that actually allow you to see a winner - and thereby eliminate scorer/judge bias - China is not ahead.  Interesting.

Why is gymnasitics, and trampoline jumping even in the Olympics in the first place?

Also, does anyone actually care about those events? Beyond the eye candy.

Sure it's a great half time show... but Sport? no dice.

Yup.  The performances shouldn't be judged on technical stuff, either.  The scale should be 'tasty points'.

My brother Americans amuse me with how they have to justify losing during the Olympics. It doesn't matter if the event is dumb or not. All that matters is the gold and nothing else. Also, there are no sports in the Olympics besides basketball. Lol they got handball in the Olympics. I would have rather seen the stripper pole dancing make it. It would at least give a reason to watch.

Basketball is not a sport. It's dropping a ball through a hoop. Seriously they are like 7 to 8 feet tall, and the net is what, 10 foot?

Basketball is one of the 3 sports in existence at present.
