    I think most common sports are Olympic worthy.
    Handball is quite big here in Europe.

    2553.55 miles from my dream. Seriously.
    That one event with the Horses and those letters at the sidelines. I don't know what it's called, but it looked really dumb, boring, and odd.

    "my kid is doing soccer"
    "mine is doing football"

    Its called Equestrian,

    I bet curling is like golf, and bowling, amazingly boring to watch, really fun to play.

    i say either that hoola hoop thing, or boxing.

    and everyone will prolly scream at me for saying boxing but if the point system wasnt so messed up it would be alot better. and thats why its weird ( cause if someone throws a good punch they may not get a point for it but the other guy may get the point..)
