→This article is too negative: new section
Have you actually watched any of the table tennis matches? The skills required to compete in this event - the quickness, agility, perspicacity - are at least equal to those in regular tennis. [[User:CasparRH|CasparRH]] 10:29, 10 August 2012 (EDT)

== This article is too negative ==
This article is too negative. For example, while there are martial art systems which are better than taekwondo when it comes to self-defense, it can get you into great shape - especially if the twaekwondo center has a weight room. When I was involved in twaekwondo, I enjoyed it and found it beneficial. Plus, when I was playing racketball without googles (which I should not have done), using a block I learned in twaekwondo, I stopped a ball from hitting my face inches before it was about to hit me. :)
Although there are less toxic forms of keeping pools clean than chlorine[http://news.discovery.com/human/chlorinated-pools-swimming-cancer.html], swimming is great exercise and there is nothing wrong with the backstroke or relay races.
Soccer is great exercise and it probably keeps more people in shape than any sport in the world.
There is no public outcry to remove these sports from the Olympics. Women enjoy synchronized swimming and rhythmic gymnastics for example.
I think this article is a wet blanket and an sour grapes way of minimizing others achievements.[[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 10:55, 10 August 2012 (EDT)
