I think synchronized swimming is not a sport either, although they (like the ice skaters) are great athletes. It’s too subjective, and there’s no absolute scoring involved which – in my mind – is required to make it a sport.

I think a lot of Olympic events are like that though. The most confusing ones are the ones like some moguls event we saw, where it’s a combination of subjective (the doing jumps of varying difficulty) and absolute (they’re scoring based on finish time). That’s a weird one. But in my mind, a sport should have a way to determine the winner that doesn’t depend on the judge.

Imagine if we changed the swimming events so that the guy who won only got the silver because a judge thought his feet weren’t together while he was kicking. Too weird for me.

All these people are in great shape, though, and are great athletes. That’s not a question.

Oh, come on Bill. You’re wearing a tiara on a run. How different is that from wearing a fancy outfit and throwing a girl in the air and then catching her?

You should watch *The Cutting Edge* (Moira Kelly and DB Sweeney; big chick flick) — your tune about it being a sport will change. I assure you.

Ha..I suppose it depends on how you define “sport”. And because I am such a huge geek, I went ahead and looked it up. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sport Sooo…technically…yes. It is a sport.

Of course, I think most sports are weird and can’t figure out what purpose they serve. Other than being fun, that is.

All I have to say is ice dancing/skating? Way closer to a sport than curling. CURLING! WTF is CURLING?!
