Australian synchronised swimming

This is a photo of 4 members of their team. I've always loved Australia and it's always been on my top 3 places in the world to visit before I die. This isn't the reason why, but it doesn't hurt! :coffee:

Jim, I trust you will be tuning in to the next Brazilian womens volleyball match?

Can't see the picture, filters at work.

BTW, has anyone yet figured out why baseball was dropped as an Olympic sport this year, while "synchronized swimming" was kept?

Does someone on the IOC believe that more people do Synchronized Swimming in their spare time, or competitively in school, or professionally, or ANYTHING, than the number who play baseball?

I gotta be honest, they are both far too large for my liking, and even without the height issue, I don't see them as even being very pretty. Maybe if they were dressed a little more like the Aussies I would feel differently! But I've always been more fond of petite women, and there aren't many of them in women's volleyball!

European influence, that was clear. Softball and Baseball are MUCH bigger here in the States, South America, Asia, Canada...

I also don't think table tennis aka ping pong is much of a sport either, although the speed these bastards play the game is not only hard as hell but comical! Always reminds me of Forrest Gump.

I read up on this a few years ago, when the IOC made the original decision.
The IOC supposedly makes their decisions based on international popularity, or which sports are popular in the most countries.
When Atlanta hosted the Olympics in 1996, the U.S. was allowed to bring in one sport as a "demonstration sport." The U.S. chose softball. Which proved to be a hit with fans, but not with other countries. I believe during the four Olympiads that included softball, the U.S. lost only one game.
So the IOC voted to drop softball. But because they didn't want to appear sexist, the IOC decided to drop a mens sport as well. Which turned out to be baseball, which an IOC spokesman said "was the same game as softball, but with men." :rolleyes:

Eh, they're both boring. What we need is extreme rush hour driving, and synchronized toilet bowl cleaning. Now there's two things most people around the world can relate to.

synchronized swimming is not a sport IMHO

I'm disturbed and alarmed that I'm the first guy to thank you for that.
