cai Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Cai Evans - don't have a middle name Would this be a little crap though, as 'profesionals' arn't allowed in the Olympics It's only for amateurs (sp?). So Benito, etc.. wouldn't be allowed in - It'd still be better than Babminton at the Olympics!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psycholist Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I'm pretty sure they've given up on the amateur aspect to the Olympic games a long time ago. Given all the big names competing in the Olympics have multi-million pound endorsement contracts and set the world standard for their sports, I'm pretty sure they're pro's. Anyone remember the 1996 Olympics when XC was first introduced and Hans Rey and a bunch of others did a trials demo as part of the closing ceremony - I'm pretty sure I have it on video somewhere...I'd definitely support encouraging trials into the Olympics - compared to the expense of making the kayaking course for example, trials would be cheap and easy to set up, as well as probably scoring up there with gymnastics as a sport people who know nothing about it can watch and be entertained and impressed by as a display of precision, skill, balance and power. Since there's every possibility that the only reason events where out and out aerobic output/anaerobic power are paramount are not being marred by drug use this Olympics is because the Olympic testing isn't as stringent as what the UCI has had to start using, hopefully there's a shift in the interests of sports fans from watching sports that test the limits of performance to limits of skill. DH BMX getting in this year bodes very well for a space being made for trials in the future (Provided there's a good response to the BMX of course)...My name is Cormac Eason, add me to the list ...

NSE Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 just had to rub it in didnt you ben.Ben Travis - Fully in support of olympic trialsNo big deal - he's sitting in the airport on his way to Hong Kong.I have some insight into the conversations that the UCI have had with the Olympic committee, one criticism they have is that not enough women compete. They want to see sporting activity that attracts both sexes. Not my opinion or comment, but its true, very few women compete, but boxing gets by. Trials would be a worthy addition, many niche sports are included now, I think its time that Trials was.Fred Savage - in support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
