If curling is an Olympic sport, then bowling should be in. Sorry, but that's the bottom line. I was surfing CurlingReviews.com and they had an article about how curling has become too easy and some guy named Mobert Rushtare claims to have curled 3 perfect games... If curling is considered, bowling should be...

Bowling is too easily manipulated, no matter how standardized the variables
may become.  If you don't believe this, you should have tried bowling in
the old Peterson Classic tourneys.  Also, luck is far too much a factor in
bowling.

Umnnhmm. I love Badminton thank you. It's one of my favorite sports to watch. It's 5 times better then tennis. It's an awesome game to play. I wish it was more popular.

But yes, I'm sick of these international events with Team USA. It doesn't have the same meaning if Team USA can't be in the Olympics. For the love of God, why isn't bowling in the Olympics. To show how ridiculous this is, Snowboarding is in the winter Olympics. Now I love Snowboarding but it's only been around like 20 years so so and got into the Olympics.

I love the sports some people don't. I love Badminton in the summer and I love Curling in the winter.
I will also add I'd love the see Skateboarding in the Olympics though don't know how popular it is internationally.

And gymnastics isn't manipulated, at least with bowling you don't judges making poor grades ( or given an extra 10th of a point) for some athletes
