We go for the Gold

Is anyone else excited for the Olympics as much as I am?? I enjoy both the summer and winter Olympics but I have to say the summer Olympics are my favorite. I love watching all these amazing athletes that the world offers up to compete in all kinds of sports. Who knew walking was an Olympic sport? It totally is the 50km walk. I will be training for that next year. This also got me thinking, if walking can be an Olympic sport why not other odd sports. Here are the sports I would like to see in the summer Olympics next go round.

Pool Basketball, OK I grew up playing pool basketball and I got pretty good at it too (or at least I thought I did) basically you have a goal on one end of a shallow end of a pool and basically play half court basketball. Fouls are impossible to call because you cant really see whats going on under the water (who cares it makes it more interesting) dunking is also pretty much unachievable as well (getting out of the pool is out of bounds so can't get out an do an ally-oop) There would obviously have to be more specific rules but I think it would be uber entertaining!

Cornhole, lets be honest here people we have all played it (with or without alcohol involved) and I am sure at one point we all believed we were the best at it. It's also a very summery sport so why not? It's already got its rules and regulations so it wouldn't be as complicated as pool basketball which has basically made up rules. It can also get really intense. I know from the games I have watched while pool side have gotten fierce (and sweaty). Either way I watched with astonishment with how close and furious the games got. I think we all agree it would be a great addition to the summer Olympics.

Darts, being an avid darter myself I would love to see this become an Olympic sport. There are many ways to play darts but I think the two ways it should be showcased in the Olympics are cricket and 501. I would explain the rules of each but it would be way too much typing so just click here. I know if darts were to become an Olympic sport I would train my ass off to play for good ole' team USA. If shooting is a sport in the Olympics then darting should be as well.

These are just some of the sports I would like to see in future Olympics. Believe me when I tell you I have more ideas for other sports but they are so incomprehensible and outrageous that the Olympic committee would probably have me committed to an insane asylum. Either way these sports should be included because they are entertaining and super fun.
