Then came something that could only happen in Australia - bogong moths, with a wing span equal to a sparrow, got attracted to the lights of the track and field stadium and a few dive bombed the runners. It's bad enough carrying the hopes and dreams of your entire nation without having to worry about Mothra mini-me's. I love the Olympics but the number of sports is getting out of hand. The slippery slope was crossed when beach volleyball was added to the Olympic games several years ago. Volleyball is a gym sport.
Beach volleyball is an excuse for sun block makers to advertise.
Since the Olympics are in Australia you'd think they'd toss a croc in the pool just for sport. It would liven up the synchronized swimming. Then again, it would probably bore the croc, also. If that's not bad enough, we will have synchronized diving this year in which two divers try to do the same dive in unison. That's not a sport, that's a circus act.
