[Andras Nagy]

Have we forgotten that the poles in the pole vault used to be stiff, non-bending? In the "old days", one's muscles had to do the work to get over the bar.

Now, it is the pole that puts the vaulter over the bar. The vaulter is just along for the ride.

Perhaps the only "pure" sports left are the discus, the javelin, the shot put, and running. Any other sport that relies on technology is not what the Olympics WAS all about.

And so how is badmiton an Olympic sport? Or beach volleyball?

Don't get me started!!!!!!
