Blame NBC, CBS, and ABC. The TV moguls run the Olympics now otherwise why would they have ever put in "T & A" events like ....BEACH VOLLEYBALL....[wink]

I loved riding BMX as a kid, but it doesn't make sense that they would shoehorn a sport like that in, and then get rid of a sport that has been around, in some form, everywhere in the world for hundreds, possibly thousands, of years. Maybe they should merge the X-Games and the Olympics and get it over with.
