The Olympics suck.

I just had a look at the sports included in the 2012 games.

archery
badminton
basketball
beach volleyball
boxing
canoe / kayak
cycling
diving
equestrian
fencing
field hockey
gymnastics
handball
judo
modern pentathlon
rowing
sailing
shooting
soccer / football
swimming
synchronized swimming
table tennis
taekwondo
tennis
track and field
triathlon (swimming, biking, running)
volleyball
water polo
weightlifting
wrestling

They will be adding for 2016:
rugby 7s
golf

Now, is it just me or are half the sports listed above complete horse shit. My idea of an olympic sport is something that was useful to a warrior or farmer 2000 years ago. So, an edited list would be:

archery
beach volleyball (Women only. My anus clenches every time I see men doing this)
boxing
equestrian (but just the cross country race. The rest is a waste of oxygen)
fencing
gymnastics (but not crap like tossing a ribbon or ball about. I can get all that at The Pink Pussycat, if I wanted to blow $300 on two beers. Anything with a pommel or a bar or ropes is OK.)
judo
modern pentathlon
rowing
shooting
taekwondo
track and field
triathlon (swimming, biking, running)
weightlifting
wrestling

and definitely not rugby 7s and absolutely not golf.

So stuff to toss out, along with all the tossers who play these "sports":
badminton
basketball
cycling
diving
equestrian (as noted above, maybe introduce jousting)
field hockey
gymnastics (with the exceptions noted above)
handball
rowing
sailing
soccer / football
swimming (Let's face it, if we had no medal hopes in swimming, it would be shown as often as weightlifting)
synchronized swimming
table tennis
tennis (WTF!!)
volleyball
water polo

Just have a look at the bunch of limp wristed emasculated "sports" above.

Now, how about we put in Powerlifting. OK, it's as boring as table tennis if it is run as per normal. So, I suggest:

Squat and deadlift only. Bench press is just marginally this side of being as pointless as tricep kickbacks on a bosu ball. It is, after all, just a complicated tricep exercise. This will mirror weightlifting which has been reduced to two lifts.

Raw only. Shoes, knee sleeves, belt, lifting suit with T-shirt, wrist wraps, chalk.

Drug free and drug tested (of course, like all the other sports).

Men and women's comps and weight groups as per olympic lifting, with maybe another heavy weight class or two added.

Another radical idea is to ban all references to nationality.

I am not a crank.
