I enjoyed watching most of the Olympic events tuned in for.
The breaker fiasco highlights a problem with several disciplines - they rely on judges, as Lods mentioned and Kruddler emphasised with his "Citius. Altius. Fortius."
Get rid of gymnastics, diving, synchronised swimming, boxing, surfing, dressage, martial arts and pole dancing and bring back sports that rely on individuals or teams beating their opponents by being faster, stronger or scoring more (or less in the case of golf). Sports like Greco-Roman wrestling should be brought back, along with jousting, netball, darts, spear throwing, handball, snooker, and maybe arm wrestling. The modern pentathlon should have the horse discipline brought back, but as a cross-country event with laser pistol shooting (or perhaps archery) conducted at several points along the course and from horseback.
