[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She perfectly mocked an event that desperately needed mocking to expose its ridiculousness. If only someone had the guts to do the same to synchronized diving, synchronized swimming, and all those bicycle events that don’t involve getting from point A to point B in the shortest amount of time.

That would include figure skating and gymnastics. [/quote]

Gymnastics includes some pretty easy-to-measure feats of strength and agility that I think earn it a place separate from these other judges sports. There's some dumb stuff but like vault and high bar are extremely straight forward and it's easy to understand how they are scored and why one person outperformed another. There are some weird idiosynchrasies but the tumbling and a lot of the skills are virtuosic and easy to evaluate. Plus after track and field it's one of the sports with the clearest ties to the original Greek Olympics.

Agree figure skating is super weird.[/quote]
Not to mention rhythmic gymnastics, with the ball and the hoop. It's not awful, but feels more like a backup sport for those who don't tumble.[/quote]
