Its pretty interesting that Golf is included in the Olympics due to the fact that the IOC is giving the top 15 in the world the opportunity to compete in the Games. But in Golf the top 15 ranked athletes are very proffesiional and make alot of money. In The Times this morning they had an article on a guy from Canberra who is ranked 70th in the world. His career prize money is 6.9 million dollars. I can only imagine what tiger woods is on, (although he is the extreme.)

I think for golf (due to its huge proffesional circut) should cap the age limit to under 23s (like olympic Soccer). This would mean that junior up and coming athletes that arent too proffesional yet can hopefully compete on the highest level possible.

Rugby on the other hand i can understand a bit more than golf. At least rugby is played in Africa but as for easter bloc countries and central europe not many play but i believe it is a sport that those countries could be quite good at it.

Out of all the sports on offer,rugby, golf, Karate, Rollersports (skateboarding rollerblading), surfing, Softball, Baseball and Squash, im glad they chose Rugby and Golf because those other sports are boring.

Sports that i think should be ditched form the Olympics is Equestrian, Pistol Shooting, Taekwondo, Yachting, Greco Roman Wrestling, and cut down the amount of swimming events. But this is my opinion thats all.

Have an awesome day
