I mean not just ribbon tossing but hula-hooping too? Just think of steeplechase as long distance hurdles and it doesn't seem so bad. In equestrian, do the horses get the medals? I would love to see Rugby is the Olympics but I wonder if the athletes could recover from such a brutal sport in time to play the number of matches required. They would have to start the Olympic Rugby tournament 2 months before the games and just have the semis and finals during the games. The winter Olympics is great even if just for watching the Skeleton event. I mean really, whoever thought that jumping on a sled headfirst going down a shoot of ice at 60 mph should be a sport needs to have his head checked. My thoughts:

One guess as to why. You jest, but the USAF no longer says “cockpit”, they call it the flight deck. One guess as to why.

It might be fun but geez.

I don't run unless someone is chasing me and even then just before they catch me I fall down and let them trip over me. I don't trust people that run 10 miles for no reason other than running. Cardio enhancement? Fair. Jogging on a team of joggers? Sketchy. And how is it stupid swimming has four different strokes? Those are the swimming strokes. If they added the doggy paddle you might have a point. No, I never ran cross country or track.

Clearly, you never ran track or cross country. The steeplechase was always a highlight whenever it was held at a HS track meet. Why don't you trash something truly stupid, like how swimming has four different strokes. Heck, at least the walk is contested at a distance (20K) where there isn't a running event.
