Putting this here since the discussion can involve non-Olympic sports.

Is it inherently bad to have a sport that’s so predictable? It is at least in the case of bobsled, considering that it features four anonymous helmets poking out of identical sleds, with no particular strategy discernible to the naked eye. Given those parameters, you’d think suspense would be the only reason to watch. Since there’s absolutely no suspense to be had, you’d be better off switching to Animal Planet whenever you see a bobsled charging across your television screen.

I think all of the half-pipe stuff is the most boring sport ever.

Okay, some guys do some flips and shite and they are judged on it.

If you've seen it once you've seen it a million times.

No doubt. Would it kill them to put at least one jump in there?...well it probably would. But I'd watch.
