There should be two separate Olympics (basketball, professional, boxing, sport)

[IShootNikon]

One for sports that have judges and ones that don't

So in one Olympics you would have boxing, gymnastics, etc.

The other swimming, track, etc

Discuss...

But you bring up something that really makes little sense. If what you suggest was implemented the Olympics would not be the Olympics.

If there needs to be any changes it would to eliminate all professionals from competition. Other than that, leave it alone.

There should be two separate C-Ds.

One for people that agree with me, and one for those that don't.

I just think Olympics or any competition shouldn't rely on judges to have the final say. It should be about the fastest, longest, highest, strongest, etc.

Yes, with these events there are PED issues but seems like most of the scandals come from judges (boxing and figure skating to be at the forefront)

I have a better idea. Get rid of the judged events. I'm not sure about boxing, although I have no use for it, but definitely get rid of gymnastics, figure skating, ice dancing, dancing on horses, water ballet, cake decorating, diving, ski jumping, and all that stuff.


If you can't time it, count it, or measure it, it's out.

probably should eliminate all the referees too from anything, such as basketball and volleyball as after all, they're just running around passing their arbitrary judgments on everything


hang the judges!
