Well, it's almost over and we have enjoyed lot's of stuff over the last couple of weeks.
Congrats to all the athletes who have dedicated their lives to represent their countries in the global contest.
Yesterday, on triple J the topic has popped up ,
as to which event(s) did you find the most boring ?
I, myself have a massive "problem" with the basic concept of walking

Always a leading contender for this catergory

I can't say the Tae Kwkndo or Judo was that enthralling to watch either really.

How can you consider the BMX boring? It is like watching sprint or hurdles but with crashes and tactical moves that can win or lose a race. Exciting to watch, for more technical than many other olympic sports to master - not that I'm bias or anything

Women's beach volleyball is great! Ive never followed a competition with as much interest
Synchronised gets my vote for the worst category....

I agree... walking takes the cake. Let's get from one point to another, as fast as possible without assistance (ie: running) and then see if we can do it slower???? Get real. Anyone involved in this "sport" should be embarrased.
Other sports that I don't think should be part of the Olympics, although not necessarily boring, include:
All equestrian events. What the hell is up with this??? Next we'll have greyhound racing, or sled pulls!
Tennis. What next... golf?
Basketball. Although, I'm still partially undecided about this.

Walking - and in particular, why do they have a 20k and a 50k? Did they just forget to stop after 20?
