    Looks like the kid from ‘Ninja Warrior’ that G4 shows…and also looks like the same producers of that show for the clip.

    As I recall, he tried out for the Olympic trampoline team…dunno if he made it, but he isn’t bad….

    Tiddly-winks might have been looked over, some 80 years ago…heh

    Watched a little trampoline in teh Beijing coverage last august…they were pretty impressive (HUGE air, lots of flips and twists).

    Only Olympic sports I’d change: get rid of team-handball, make Boxing bare-knuckle, make Fencing use sharpened weapons, and bring in American Football! Must have more Macho and more Blood!!

    Must have more Macho

    Then why not do away with all the analogs for masculinity and just award prizes for drinkin’, belchin’, scratchin’, and fartin’?

    I had a friend years ago who had a hard and fast rule: if you need judges to decide who wins, it isn’t a sport, it’s a performing art. A corollary was “if the term ‘artistic merit’ or ‘artistic interpretation’ is involved, it’s DEFINITELY not a sport.” The theory is that the audience should be able to tell the winner from the loser without needing someone to explain it to them.

    So get rid of things like figure skating, dancing, synchronized swimming, and all that crap, and — yeah, bring in American football, auto racing, snow machine races (let Alaska’s First Dude add a gold medal to his record!), and a host of real “sports” into the Olympics.

    Meh, there are already so many Olympic sports, what’s a few dozen more?

    Some are not truly sports in my opinion, while others may seem strange, like trampoline, but actually require a hullva lot of athletic ability and skill.

    Almost all are will eventually be taken over by 9 year old Chinese girls, so what’s the difference?
