No way, both fencing and indoor shooting are very technical and are very
interisting once you get to understand the way it works.

The most boring stuff is whatever middle distance running event sees 3
Kenyans take the lead after a few meters and keeping it until the end.
That's a purely anthropometric event, with no technique of any kind
involved. Those guys just have better genetic and that's it. It's like
giving gold medals for the shortest or tallest man in the world.

As someone (I forget who) once said:

The only thing more boring than track is field.

Prone or standing?


Two weeks ago during a tour at the OTC I got the pleasure of watching
some "athletes" shooting at the indoor range. It got me wondering, how
do they manage to ski inside the building?

I don't believe that. It's track, there has to be drugs involved.

Shot put -- the more aggro and fatter you are I guess the better.

What a joke.

maybe it is just the coverage, but the 12 o'clock Bravo sailing i
intolerable. They need a Mario Kart status bar to show who is in th
lead. I swear I could simulate the current coverage, by dumpin
styrofoam packing into my bathtub. You know that there is a rea
problem when one of the boat classes is described by a commentator a
underpowered. I think that some rich NBC exec really had too much sa
in the coverage, because olympic sailing sure as hell is not America'
Cup or whatever other sailing race knocks cycling and PBR from OLN
