Olympics gone mad

So I can't think I'm the only one annoyed but the senseless end to weightlifting and boxing in the Olympics. Boxing was never my thing but I grew up watching the weightlifting. It inspired me to lift big heavy ass weights. There is so many other sports in it now that make no sense being there. It's just such a terrible shame that they feel it's ok to take that joy away from people who have watched it for so many years

Skateboarding event in the Olympics was the first of its kind this year. I'd considered a skateboarder an all round athlete compared to a weight lifter.

Boxing had to go. Totally corrupted and fights fixed. The Irish were robbed on a few occasions.

Both sports have the chance to get back in but both are currently run incompetently. This is a threat to get them to sort their shit out or else.

Ya they are definitely two I'd always have switched on for.

Not sure I'd call them mad decisions though.

Both governing bodies have had issues and I'm not sure what the viewing figures are like. But even pro boxing is struggling for an audience these days
