now I know it's down to personal preference but is there a more boring event than skateboarding. It's mind numbingly dull.

Horse stuff. Any stuff with horses. Pointless. The horse does the work. The horse should get the medal.

Agreed, and Archery, i assume the shooting is just as boring but I've never watched it.

That and anything that's decided based on someone's opinion, which for me aren't sports.

Well if there were an Olympics on here for people posting guff on subjects they clearly know absolutely nothing about, you'd be in gold medal position right now.

Try learning to ride (including jumping) and then get back to me. £100 to the charity of your choice if you still think the same.

You know those people are at the top of their game when they make it look easy & it *looks like* the horse is doing all the work.

I like the skateboarding but it does seem tame compared to the X-games, Jackass tomfoolery and the Tony Hawk games.

For me, it's the sailing events - as good as we are at them, they're just not spectator sports.

Any of the horse and sailing events.

Speed climbing is my new favourite sport.

Except that with disciplines like dressage, it's all about how the rider controls the horse in a series of very precise maneuvers.

With jumping, there's the matter of making the right trigger movements at the right time to get the horse to jump over the obstacle and clear it. If left to itself, the animal wouldn't do that, just walk around the side. Again, all about control.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

Nice pole. It looks like a carbon/glass composite to me. They give the superior flex required by the advanced and technical vaulter.
