Sagebrush posted:I learned that those crying horse lady pictures are from an event where you are given some random horse to ride instead of your own, and the horse wasn't working with her and that's why she hosed up? And that just sounds stupid as poo poo, like having to do synchronized swimming with a random selection of swimmers from other teams. So, as usual, I blame the IOC and/or whatever equestrian body came up with the event being a bunch of loving dumbass assholes for this one. Mastering a random horse is a part of the sport, that also includes fencing and target shooting. Has to do with being an officer in the 1700s.

The first modern Olympics included poetry, sculpture, and pistol duels. All of which we should revive.

The pistol duels were done with wax bullets and with armour and masks not unlike modern paintball gear.

Son of Thunderbeast posted:Personally I can't wait for Olympic esports You may be kidding but I think it will happen. The IOC is investing heavily in eSports already. If I had to guess, there might be a whole third set of games some day. It's not like eSports are for summer or winter.

Olympic esports is GDQ. Only reason it wouldn't be is that GDQ is fun to watch and doesn't kill people.
