Is synchronized diving a sport?
I don’t think so, and neither do these guys. I also agree with the rest of the list. The Olympics have way too many sports as it is. Cutting out all the subjective judging events would magically reduce the number and preserve the Olympic ideal.

Update: of course, thinking about this gives another answer to why these sports are popular: lots of half-naked teenage girls.
Sports in the Olympics are subjected to television Darwinism: too few viewers and the event gets the chop.
