I don't have too much to say except that I wonder how many of us out there are seriously looking forward to the Olympics??? I mean seriously my favorite sports aren't even in the Olympics. What are they.. you ask? Well...
The first of course is Parkour... I mean seriously how bad ass would it be to see competitors leaping, sliding, bouncing, and tumbling through downtown Beijing or something to get a gold medal. It's nice that it's finding its way into movies and video games though:

The next sport I would want to see would be Competitive Eating:
Now as many people know this sport is already international with athletes such as Kobiyashi, and how interesting would it be to vary the competition from Olympics to Olympics by basing the food around the country hosting the games? I know for one I would love to see a Dim Sum competition in Beijing.
The last sport I would really love to see in the Olympics would be Golf. Now I know that this is already possibly being considered for inclusion in the 2012 Olympics in England, and although I hate watching golf pretty much I've always had fun when I've gone out and played it.
I would also watch anything involving monkeys and pigs being athletic per the awesome animation made for BBC Sports from the geniuses behind the Gorillaz (click image for clip)
So that all being said... what sports would you want to see included in the Olympics???
