With golf, the most pointless sport in the olympics (golf is returning for the 2016 games). The players don't give a crap as olympic gold isn't the pinnacle of the sport.
In my opinion for a sport to be included, the gold medal should be the pinnacle of that event.
Bodybuilding is a form of art (performance art in fact).
It is not a sport.
So no. Not in the Olympics.
I used to play tennis and was obsessed by it until I was in my 20s.. Much less so now. Never go.
But also cannot understand why tennis and golf are in there.
Also soccer/football should never be included.
The pinnacle of the sport/game is certainly not the Olympics.
I also cannot fathom why dance gymnastics (not strict gymnastics) is in there and also synchronised swimming.
Again, these are performance art, not sport.
Rant over.
Then again, we don't get coverage of anything here unless it's swimming

The thing is that most of those non-sports that are in the olympics would not exist without the support that being an olympic sport delivers. I don't want to see them disappear but I don't believe they are sports.
I love the track and field events. Bit over swimming because we get saturated with it like CCM said.
how about shooting/archery? it's a skill, not an athletic feat, although it has quantifiable outcome, rather than opinion.
boxing is also about subjective opinion (and vaguely counting punches that land) until someone is KO'd
Olympic walking? judges are there to assess technique and disqualify people.
team sports? should Olympics be individual only?
golf as Olympic sport is stupid, unless it is amateur only?
