Criteria for determination of worth of an Olympic sport: If the sport has a title/prize greater than a gold medal, (thus: basketball, soccer, boxing, and tennis, are worthless).

If a medal is presented on the first day of the first proceedings of the event, the event is worthless, (thus: trampoline, track n field, taekwondo, pentathlon, diving, triathlon, weightlifting, swimming, shooting, judo, fencing, cycling, archery) (Note, this does not mean the event is not fun, see: TRAMPOLINE (!!!!?!?!))

The list then of worthwhile Olympic sports reads as such:

Badminton, beach volleyball, canoe, field hockey, gymnastics, handball, sync. swimming, table tennis, volleyball, water polo.

Unfortunately many of these sports fall under the weird category which could be synonymous with 'not a sport' or 'barely a sport' or 'the fukk?':

Badminton, table tennis, water polo, handball, shooting, trampoline, field hockey, swords.

Indeed I have realized that you could make the argument for any sport being weird and/or worthless. If not sure just post in here :cool:
