What about Bowls? It is in the Commonwealth games, why not the Olympics?

In order to be considered for being in the Olympics a sport has to qualify under two conditions:

1) It must be played in 75 countries on 4 continents (for men) or 40 countries on 3 continents (for women).

2) There must be a governing international federation which the IOC can deal with.

The Commonwealth Games has different selection criteria for their sports.

BMX shouldn't be on the list

I thought it was the most enjoyable to watch, out of the cycling at least! It's quick and there are a lot of stacks! So it appeals to my short attention span and my love of watching people stack it! I was very disappointed that there weren't more stacks in the gymnastics though

Junior you are evil

[LarryNJ]

I didn't even realize it existed as an Olympic sport until this morning when I saw a picture online. Sailing??? Although I guess it is actually a sport it certainly falls into the stupidest category.

Olympic Bloopers 2012 London


Did they really say that?

Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports
commentators so far during the Olympics that they would like to take back:

1. Weight-lifting commentator: 'This is Gregorieva from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing'

2. Dressage commentator: 'This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother.'

3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: 'I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.'

4. Boxing Analyst: 'Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious.'

5. Softball announcer: 'If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again.'

6. Basketball analyst: 'He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces.'

7. At the rowing medal ceremony: 'Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew.'

8. Soccer commentator: 'Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field.'

9. Tennis commentator: 'One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them... Oh my God, what have I just said?'

A few manipulated a bit for the latest occasion I'd believe.
One giveaway being no Softball in London or (giving fair warning...) Rio.

That said, I did witness during the slo mo replay of a gymnasts routine where the C9 commentator managed, "Nice...very nice" as the broadcast showed a fairly extreme crotch shot of the prepubescent contestant...
