Really? Is it worth getting upset about? How many years ago did the Olympics cease being relevant?

There will continue to be World Cups, World Championships, and other international competitions where the greatest athletes can demonstrate their skills in competition. And it won't all be dictated from beginning to end by a corrupt outfit (and equally corrupt media giants) that's only in it for the money.

If mods think that's a political statement, feel free to delete it!

I think skateboarding is a great option. Cheap for people of all ages to get into and achieve greatness! Great choice.
Break dancing...wtf!

My vote is for moon bmx races.

I couldn't figure out how to watch Olympic AP anyway, anyone think YouTube will show it. YouTube shows old World Cup matches, I wish they were more recent ones.

Well they have other subjective sports like rhythmic gymnastics. Break dancing at high levels is incredibly athletic and far more interesting to watch than gymnastics. OTOH I prefer sports that use scores to determine the winner.

Check out the power and gymnastics elements in the video below:
