I have a hard time deciding between dressage and the race walk.

Horse dancing vs watching people intentionally NOT running.

Field hockey is a tough watch. Gave it a shot the other day and didn’t last long

Kenny might say the triathlon but I think given the list of Olympic sports he would end up on weightlifting.



I gotta say I will watch most any Olympic sport but I do like to learn about obscure sports. I imagine of the current sports I would say Breaking but I haven't watched any as a sport yet and I do like some of the stuff I saw on "So you think you can Dance" years ago out of the corner of my eye so maybe I will change my mind.

As much as I love cycling the road race has to be hours of paint-drying-watching for most people.

Of events that they have already had? It’s women’s skateboarding street. It was 14yo to 16yo standing around trying to do 1 trick. They get 5 chances and they pretty much only hit their trick one or two times.

I mean, field hockey is an actual sport though. Played at the high school and college level and their equivalents across a decent chunk of the world.

Many other events aren’t actual sports, like break dancing.

I agree, not an exciting watch though

I don’t think it’s the worst but judo was shockingly boring.

They were just grabbing each others arms and then one dude basically fell on his back and it was immediately over. I’m sure it’s incredibly difficult but I was shocked how unenjoyable it was to watch.

On the flip side Sabre fencing was awesome.

Hand ball was pretty hard to watch. I think all the horse ones might be worse.

It’s certainly stupid to include as a separate event. Like you couldn’t take 3 guys off the best full teams and have them dominate that tournament
