Six Olympic Sports With No Need For Instant Replay
Six Olympic Sports With No Need For Instant Replay
6. Sailing - Watch as the wind kicks up a gale - and moves the boat a bit faster.
5. Archery - There's the shot! Oh, it hit/missed.
4. Shooting - See Archery.
3. Cycling - Let's look at that again as the cyclist pedals faster.
2. Triathlon - She swims. She still swims. Oh, now she's biking (see cycling).
1. Rowing - Stroke. Stroke. Stoke. Win! Or lose. But no replay.
Not on the list: most track and field events. A given.
Enjoy the games!

Very nice.
I do, however, want a replay of jeu de paume, a sport which was only played at the 1908 Olympics.
My favorite old-timey game is "tug-of-war." That's like winning a gold medal in four-square or kick-ball.
