:wtf: When did BMX become an Olympic sport? What's next? Hacky Sack? Frisbee Golf?
At least Frisbee Golf wouldn't be yet another judged event. Give me games, contests and races. I thought the Olympic motto was "Faster, Higher, Stronger," not most artistic or difficult. If they want difficult, why not Olympic Plate Spinning?

3. It just seems a little bit X-Gamey to me |
|
But I guess all sports do at first.
I just can't believe that BMX is that popular world wide while say, baseball and softball are being discontinued.

5. BMX is a race - what are you complaining about? |
|
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympics/cycling/7571581.stmTimed down to a thousandth of a second - and with serious injuries and everything.

6. I thought it was the X-Games version |
|
Like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6HMd6R2q5wIt hadn't aired here at the time of the OP. Since they're dumping baseball & softball, I guess they need more sports.
