Since the Winter Olympics are on, I have seen some really retarded sports made into Olympic events. Team speed skating? Come on.
If some really insignificant and boring sports can be made into an Olympic event, what would it take to get wakeboarding added? I'd love to see all the international riders from Australia and Europe compete against the US riders. Would also help the sport really blow up on a big stage.

Make it a team sport...One guy pulls you running along the shore, and you bust tantrums n ••••
|
|
wakeboarding can not be in the olympjics because it is not done by man power... the boat pulls you
|
|
William is correct. Only man powered sports in the Olympics.
|
|
someone brought this up in a similar thread. so how are marksmanship and rifle events justified?
|
|
what about shooting a gun, man power doesnt push the bullet, archery, man power doesnt propel the bow

The boat could easily be replaced with a cable pull, no?

According to the Olympics website, water skiing and POWER boating are already recognized as Olympic sports:

could you get a pull from a 10 man canoe?
