Russian Synchronised Swimming
I didnt watch the synch swimming because it's silly but then I found this and I've changed my mind. It's still silly but it's also fucking amazing.
I caught some of this
When it was on and it blew my mind! Amazing.

I caught the last four teams in the Olympics final on TV.
Spain's gold-winning sea-monster-themed routine was incredible (here's their preparation routine).

I'd much rather watch the creative events than the track events.
Yes, Usain Bolt ran a little bit faster than he's ever done before, but how many replays do we really need to see? Things like synchronised swimming and diving, parallel bars and any other kind of gymnastic event, where things could go wrong but could go very, very right, are captivating. To me, at least.

changed my mind
ohh you've made me think. I may have to change my stance; I used to think that sports that were fast, strong, jumpy, throwy or endurancey were the 'pure' ones...but I can now see that the creative sports involve all of those skills put together.

Well, glad to be of service.
My rant excludes dressage, obviously. In order to do well in the dressage it seems you need to train a horse, then let it do it's thing while you wear formal dress and cry into your gloves. Tossers.

How the fuck is this a sport?
It's just poncing about in the water.

I'm guessing if you got in a pool and tried to replicate any of those moves you'd realise how sporty it is
(not that I know, just assuming it's way hard)

Also, dressage. Just what is the point of making horses mince?
Bring back welly wanging.

Horses mincing to music. TO MUSIC.
I really thought it was a Chris Morris piss-take for a few minutes.

I can't be the only one who finds it pretty erotic, i can't be.

If only there was some kind of periodical you could subscribe to to bring your passion for horses to life

I know, to my knowledge there isn't a periodical called 'Horse Fucker Daily' out as of yet :-(

Dressage
As if you didn't look poncy enough dressed up on a horse...you have to do THAT?!

How else are you supposed to make...
a proper dressage pie if you don't mince the horses first?

Fucking right, also they should have tug of war, that is fucking hard work.
I usually enter a team into local competitions, every time I think my heart is going to explode.

I'm a firm believer in one track race being done in fancy dress.
The bulkier the better and preferably obscuring the runner's vision too.

Wow, I wonder why they ditched it? and yeah he probably could, although he's probably dead by now.
