I think the Olympics focus a little too much on physical strength and prowess, so I would like to see something that is more skilled-base. So, if you could have a type of craft that people would work on, so have competitive chair building or competitive brick stacking. People build something and whoever does the best one wins the gold medal.
Shifani / New Zealand
I pick sumo wrestling. Absolutely, sumo wrestling. I think they're fantastic players. They're absolutely fantastic in the way they play the ritual they follow, so it's an excellent sport.
Katia / Mexico
I think one sport that I would like to see in the Olympics would be ballroom dancing. It's quite competitive. There are many good couples and singles that can do a very good job. So, I think ballroom dancing would be a reallycompetitivesport for the Olympics.
Alex / Australia
I was actually in the Olympics program for taekwondo when I was fifteen and stopped. So, I gave that up, because it was just far too much, practicing every day after school and then all day Saturday and Sunday. I preferred to live my life than getting gold medals, so ... which I probably would not have received anyway. So, yeah, I was able to do taekwondo. However, since then, since I did give it up, it's just gone down the toilet, I'd say.
Mike / Singapore
My choice would be chess for the Olympic. I think it can be a sport, because it uses a lot of mental strength. So, that would be my choice.
Adria / United States
I don't think I would add any, but I would definitely take some away. There are several sports that I don't like in the Olympics. I know that curling is actually an old sport, but I don't like it. And I think it's boring and doesn't require the right skill for the Olympics.
EMOTION AND SPORTS
http://www.elllo.org/video/1151/V1187BradSport.htm
A little about getting emotional when watching sports. I know I certainly get emotional sometimes during big games. I'll get emotional, you know, I'll yell and shout and stand up and clap if I'm watching like a play off game or, you know, some game like the Super Bowl or something like that where I've really got something invested in it. But generally speaking if it's just a normal season game, I really don't get too emotional. I definitely don't get emotional watching the Olympics. I don't know, you know, to really, to be honest you kind of have to be careful about why you're getting emotional about things. I mean I don't know any of the players on that team. I don't know anyone on Team Canada. They're not my friends so why am I getting emotional? It seems like you could, you know, easily, you know, become nationalistic if you don't, if you're not careful about it. So, yeah, I guess sometimes I get emotional but I sometimes worry about it too. Thanks very much.
