Is there a better Olympic Sport...

For eye candy, no.

As for participation, and I do know that is not what this thread was started for; anything with a horse or shooting, especially archery, gets my nod.

I wish I could have witnessed the blind South Korean winning gold in Archery the other day.

10% in one eye and 20% in the other? Legally blind and wins gold.

Amazing.
 
True Story:

During the Beijing Olympics I met the guy responsible for doing NBC's screen backgrounds for studio interviews. You know, you see Bob Costas sitting there with whatever scene or picture behind him. That was this guys job during the Beijing Games. Anyway, Bob Costas interviewed George W. Bush during his visit to the Games. This guy, and the rest of the crew, got to meet GWB which is not unexpected. Anyway, how it relates is GWB told this guy, "Well, I've got to go see the womens beach volleyball next, life sucks, huh?" Gives one a whole different appreciation for GWB regardless of your political point-of-view.
 
Beach volleyball is to real volleyball as mud wrestling is to wrestling. How much strategy can two people actually execute when they're up to their ankles in sand?

It's all about the skin. If they were forced to wear baggy shorts and T-shirts people would have to actually watch the sport and realize how goofy it really is.
 
Of course it's about the skin.

I could watch the Professor and the Thin Beast all day long. :cool:

pass the sunscreen, please

Boobs would still bobble. So I'm there.

Maybe we could change the rules and come up with a "win/win" for players and fans alike.

"When a player unsuccessfully dives out of bounds to return a ball during play, fans closest to the play may tuck legal paper currency of any denomination into the waist band of the player's uniform. No further player/fan interaction is allowed during that stoppage of play and play shall resume with no other delay."
