Exactly. You can't compare flicking a dart a few feet to hurling a javelin the length of a football field.

I agree with you with the shooting though.

That walking race has to go what a joke. The whole point of the Olympics is to find the greatest, fastest strongest and most skilled the world can offer. Now there are hundreds of different events for the same sport. A race should be a race not the fastest handstand 100 metres and the quickest 50 metres using a swimming stroke no normal person would ever dream of using. Its all gone to far.

If you ever tried Race Waliking you would not believe how tiring it is.

I think it's got to the stage now where they should just allow ALL sports or cut back on some that already are entered.

How would you define a 'sport' anyway, and rememer it's known as the Olympic 'Games' not sports so I would allow golf

So what ?tossing yourself off can be tiring as well, that does not make it a sport. If walking is included why not handstand racing, or a hopping race we could include a three legged race, the egg and spoon and the Olympic sack race. How on earth have we managed to get this far without an Olympic Hula Hoop champoinship. Soon enough there will be enough ridiculous sports around for eveyone to be a world champion at something.
