- synchronized swimming
- flatwater canoeing, because the craft is so narrow and stupid: it's really more of a low-function kayak. you couldn't actually get anywhere in it, except to do a sprint, since you can't sit down. dumb.
- figure skating
- speaking of winter sports, curling is, at best, highly questionable
- freestyle wrestling
- the random dancing pieces of the floor exercise in women's gymnastics
- beach volleyball, just because it's so offensive what the women wear, compared to what the men wear, that it's more like watching the shooting of the SI swimsuit edition than an olympic sport. (i mean, shit -- this is an event where you get SAND all over you. what they hell are they thinking?)
- women's track is clearly a sport, but gets an honorable mention on this list for the same offensive clothing discrepancy as beach volleyball.
- table tennis: an entertaining pasttime, perhaps, but most decidedly not a sport.
