Which Olympic events should be eliminated? [View All]

[mfritz]

I'd be in favor of a radical change - all events where you need a judge to tell you the winner are out. There must be an objective way to determing the winner - fastest, furthest, goals, etc. Others would be drastically altered:

Track - only three distances - 100m, marathon, a middle distance (I don't care which one).

Swimming - same as above - a short one, a medium one, and a long one. There are no strokes, you swim the race however you want.

Diving is out.

Boxing - they fight until one of them gives up. Wrestling is no holds barred fight until one gives up.

All shooting events are out - switch to archery. It's not a sport if you only exercise one little finger muscle.

Gymnastics is out. Build an obstacle course for them to run.

Who's with me?
