Synchronized Swimming: a True Team Sport
According to a Newswire in your paper on Aug. 30, the International Olympic Committee was thinking of dropping synchronized swimming and rhythmic gymnastics from the Games. That’s crazy.
Synchronized swimming teams should be added. Synchronized swimming has been compared to running 100 meters while you are holding your breath.
It was mentioned that there was an aim to limit the growth of the Games, but there was also mention of adding softball. Golf? Triathlon?
Drop boxing. It’s not a sport. It’s violence, and we don’t need that.
