I'll bet a lot of viewers have Olympic sports that they don't think should be included. For me, it's archery and shooting. I understand that there is a lot of skill required, but they just stand there.
I actually like that artistic swimming (synchronized) is in the Olympics. These young ladies are in the pool 6 to 8 hours per day, 6 days a week, all year around. They can hold their breath for 3 full minutes. The athleticism, skill, and discipline to do this sport is off the charts.
