All of these are activities which the people who organize the Olympics consider to be "sports", and are thinking about adding as new events to future Olympic competitions There are already enough lame sports at the Olympics . They don't need to add more sports; they need to get rid of some. Why do they even have fencing or shooting events ? These are not sporting events, these are ways of killing people. The same goes for synchronized swimming , which you'll be seeing at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece . If you have to put on make-up and get judged based on how much you smile - then it's not a sport. What are they gonna add next? Modeling and hair styling ? The IOC (International Olympic Committee) did have enough brains to decide that bodybuilding is not a sport (it's Bodybuilding actually defined as a circus act or a freak show) - but the organization has given status to too many other activities that should really be classified as hobbies, rather than sports.

Upon becoming an individual member of the Olympic family in 1992, new horizons opened up for the development of sport and Olympic ideals in Slovenia. Sport and the Olympic tradition are important parts of Slovenia's cultural heritage. In his book Slava vojvodine Kranjske ("The Glory of the Duchy of Carniola") the renowned historian Janez Vajkard Valvasor wrote about the skiers of the Blo¹ka planota (Bloke plain) as early as 1689.
