    I agree with you, bad judges can take the fun out of anything.

    Walking is pretty stupid, but badmiton has to be the dumbest. It was boring and stupid when I played it in a neighbor's yard as a kid, I can't imagine it as an Olympic sport.

    I've never seen the race walking, but that sounds pretty bad. How do you do the commentating on something like that? "They're really walking out there......and they're still walking....here comes Paul Jones making his move....boy, he can really walk.....and they're still walking....."

    This is the first Ive heard of the "walking" Im not surprised thou, I cant see Bob Costas saying something like "stay tuned the semi finals for the walk race up next"
    I watched some sort of horse show that was part of the Olympic games. Not to take anything away from that but it something I would expect to see at a rodeo rather than during the Olympics.

    well, i haven't seen the trampoline ("tramamopline, trambampaline!!!!!" - thats from a simpson's episode), but those things are a death trap so maybe they deserve a bit of credit. we used to have one when i was a kid, and the fact that someone didn't end up w/ a broken neck shocks me today.

    the speed walking however deserves universal mocking. norm macdonald talked about this on SNL once; i believe he recommended that they recieve a stick as a reward (think walking stick) instead of a medal.

    I would say syncronized diving is pretty dumb. Also, when they do that race when they are walkng. How Dumb.
