Default Terrible olympic events...

I've been watching some olympics lately and I must say, some of these events are pretty stupid. What do you guys think? What's the worst event?

I'm watching curling right now and it is just plain stupid. That mogul one seems dumb too, it is just a test of who's knees will go the longest without breaking.

Bring the summer olympics on, much more interesting!

If you are just tuning in now, you missed all the good stuff.

Skiing, snowboarding, and snowboarding cross were MUCH more exciting.

I watched the snowboarding and skiing, snowboarding is sweet and the long jump in skiiing is ridiculous. But all the stuff on now is stupid. I say bring in a snow angel making competition, be more exciting.

Yea there have been tons of good races, I dont kno what your talking about. Shawn White just dominated in snowboarding and pretty much just showed how much better the American competition is. Also the hockey team just beat the canadians.

While I do feel like the summer olympics are much more exciting, I still think that there are plenty of good events to watch in the winter olympics. although I do also agree that there are some sports that just shouldn't exist, like mens figure skating, its just wrong. girls yes, guys no.

short track speed skating, snow boarding, skiing, luge, ans hockey are all enjoyable to watch IMO. womens ice skating, and long track speed skating are also alright to watch.

and i'd like to see you do the mogul as fast as they do without face planting

The summer olympics were the original olympics because they didnt have snow sports or the means of keeping warm. So more of a tradition I guess.
