Joke sports are games that are poor substitutes for strenuous athletic endeavors that bring out the best in human achievement. The inclusion of many joke sports in the 2012 Summer Olympics detracts from the serious events.
Examples of joke sports include:
- Badminton
- Beach Volleyball
- BMX Cycling
- Dressage
- Rhythmic Gymnastics
- Synchronized Swimming
- Swimming relays[1]
- Table Tennis
- Women's Boxing, Fencing, Wrestling, and Judo.
Comments
- ↑ In running relays, there is a baton that must be artfully passed during the race. No such baton passing exists for the silly swimming relays.
