Of all the strokes in swimming - crawl, back, breast, and fly, I’d like to see the breast stroke eliminated. It’s terribly slow and somewhat dumb looking.
It should be replaced by the dog paddle.

Damn that NBC for not showing curling during the Summer Games!
Possibly biased, but I am not remotely suprised. Gymnastics is enertaining because you never know what crazy stuff they are going to do and mess ups are obvious. Every 100 meter run I’ve ever watched is always the same. A bunch of people race down the track and somebody is fastest. With gymnastics, you can beat yourself up pretty bad for a split second mistake and it happens al the time. Add into that a few cute girls and it’s good television. Men’s gymnastics tags along fo the ride, but is nowhere near as popular despite the fact that their stuff is way crazier. When a girl competes a triple back on the floor exercise I’ll be really impressed. (If anybody is going to do it, Nastia is your first bet given her father. I know for damned sure she’s played with it.)
