Big deal. The Harlem Globetrotters have been doing that for years.

Also, am I the only person who thinks rhythmic gymnastics is completely retarded? I mean, OK, she can do some neat tricks, and I applaud her for that, but this is an Olympic event? She's playing with a ball. There's no goal to put the ball through, no opponent trying to take the ball, she's just fucking about like a seal at Sea World. If this is an Olympic event, why not Cirque du Soleil? Why not jugglers? A guy on a unicycle on a tightrope juggling flaming chainsaws is way more impressive than a flexible chick with a ball. Or a ribbon. A ribbon for fuck's sake! What the hell kind of event is that? Prancing about like a child bounding through a Dutch field in a 1950s movie about windmills is an Olympic quality event? Are you shitting me? Why not throw in a freestyle pogostick competition as well? They've already bastardized the notion of "sport" or "Olympic games" by giving out medals for professional fucking about; they might as well just call it what it is.

Sounds like a sport to me.

That description is vague enough that almost any activity qualifies. They show Poker on ESPN, but that doesn't mean I'm going to start referring to Phil Hellmuth as a champion athlete. And playing with a ribbon doesn't exactly seem like the image that is conjured up when one thinks of the Olympic games... Running, yes, jumping, yes, hurtling funny objects a long way, sure... Dancing with a ball? The hell with that nonsense.

You are not sir. I am right there with you.

That's quite masterful ball handling skills she's got there.

How about dancing on skates?

Not to mention tug of war. :roll:
