Given that women's figure skating and gymnastics are women's sports with the highest number of prepuscent girls who are fequently anorexic, I think those so called sports are more dangerous than ski jumping.

The logic appears to be the popularity among viewers who like to watch girls.

Not regular gymnastics-I don't have a problem with that-but rather, this thing:

I'm not saying that these women aren't athletic-they're definitely very flexible-but I don't know if they should be described as "sportswomen," and have an Olympic-sanctioned event.

Figure skating makes some sense-in the Winter Olympics-but some of the other events are a bit absurd.

Curling, for example.

Isn't that what a zamboni is for?
